From 804defea1c020d5c52985685e56986f1a399acde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:28:38 -0800 Subject: Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/ Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/. Patch originally by Randy Dunlap. o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3 o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently, the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc o Cleaned up unneeded #includes o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break on archs that don't have kretprobes o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to determine routine execution times: Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=' to determine execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.
