samples/kprobes: add a new module parameter
Add a new module parameter which can be used as the symbol name. Without this patch, we can only test the "_do_fork" function with this kernel module. With this patch, the module becomes more flexible; we can test any functions with this module with # insmod kprobe_example.ko symbol="xxx" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463535417-29637-1-git-send-email-shijie.huang@arm.com Signed-off-by: Huang Shijie <shijie.huang@arm.com> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: Steve Capper <steve.capper@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
