1/*
2 * kretprobe_example.c
3 *
4 * Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of return probes to
5 * report the return value and total time taken for probed function
6 * to run.
7 *
8 * usage: insmod kretprobe_example.ko func=<func_name>
9 *
10 * If no func_name is specified, do_fork is instrumented
11 *
12 * For more information on theory of operation of kretprobes, see
13 * Documentation/kprobes.txt
14 *
15 * Build and insert the kernel module as done in the kprobe example.
16 * You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the console
17 * whenever the probed function returns. (Some messages may be suppressed
18 * if syslogd is configured to eliminate duplicate messages.)
