2 * NOTE: This example is works on x86 and powerpc.
3 * Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of kprobes to dump a
4 * stack trace and selected registers when _do_fork() is called.
6 * For more information on theory of operation of kprobes, see
7 * Documentation/kprobes.txt
9 * You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the console
10 * whenever _do_fork() is invoked to create a new process.
