The sysctl setting used to be unhide
prior to e5924c419a9565b940a67cc169ad3ba0ebc1f975 in 2017, so prior to public release of LKRG. Changing it to hide
back then is what made P_LKRG_UNHIDE
inconsistent with its name. The easiest fix for now would be to also rename P_LKRG_UNHIDE
to P_LKRG_HIDE
, but I'm not sure that's what we want long-term.
Disabling P_LKRG_UNHIDE
currently leaves p_hide_itself
compiled in, and there's a call from p_lkrg_register
:
if (P_CTRL(p_hide_lkrg)) {
p_hide_itself();
}
However, there's nothing to enable that setting in such a build. So we have dead code. If we rename to P_LKRG_HIDE
, we should also exclude that dead code in builds with P_LKRG_HIDE
disabled.
Alternatively, we can add a way to set p_hide_lkrg
in such builds - add a module parameter or/and make it default to enabled.
We wrap some functionality related to the
hide
feature/setting in#ifdef P_LKRG_UNHIDE
and define that macro by default. Changing that default (not defining the macro) should probably remove the ability to unhide. What it actually does is remove the code to unhide and thehide
setting, which remains disabled by default, so in essence it removes the ability to hide.For the existence of
P_LKRG_UNHIDE
to make sense, undefining it should probably preserve thehide
setting, but disallow disabling it (once enabled). Alternatively,hide
should be enabled by default (at least in builds withoutP_LKRG_UNHIDE
).
