kprobes depended on CONFIG_MODULES because it has to allocate memory for
code.

Since code allocations are now implemented with execmem, kprobes can be
enabled in non-modular kernels.

Add #ifdef CONFIG_MODULE guards for the code dealing with kprobes inside
modules, make CONFIG_KPROBES select CONFIG_EXECMEM and drop the
dependency of CONFIG_KPROBES on CONFIG_MODULES.

Thanks for this work, but this conflicts with the latest fix in v6.9-rc4.
Also, can you use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULES) instead of #ifdefs in
function body? We have enough dummy functions for that, so it should
not make a problem.

Thank you,

I'll rebase and will try to reduce ifdefery where possible.

The code in check_kprobe_address_safe() that gets the module and checks for
__init functions does not compile with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MODULES). 
I can pull it out to a helper or leave #ifdef in the function body,
whichever you prefer.

As far as I can see, the only problem is MODULE_STATE_COMING.
Can we move 'enum module_state' out of #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES in module.h  ?

There's dereference of 'struct module' there:
 
		(*probed_mod)->state != MODULE_STATE_COMING) {
			...
		}

so moving out 'enum module_state' won't be enough.

Hmm, this part should be inline functions like;

#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES
static inline bool module_is_coming(struct module *mod)
{
	return mod->state == MODULE_STATE_COMING;
}
#else
#define module_is_coming(mod) (false)
#endif

Then we don't need the enum.

I'd prefer
