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