2 * Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of jprobes to dump
3 * the arguments of do_fork().
5 * For more information on theory of operation of jprobes, see
6 * Documentation/kprobes.txt
8 * Build and insert the kernel module as done in the kprobe example.
9 * You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the
10 * console whenever do_fork() is invoked to create a new process.
11 * (Some messages may be suppressed if syslogd is configured to
12 * eliminate duplicate messages.)

20 * Jumper probe for do_fork.
21 * Mirror principle enables access to arguments of the probed routine
22 * from the probe handler.
