+The lkdtm module provides an interface to crash or injure the kernel at
+predefined crashpoints to evaluate the reliability of crash dumps obtained
+using different dumping solutions. The module uses KPROBEs to instrument
+crashing points, but can also crash the kernel directly without KRPOBE
+support.
+
+
+You can provide the way either through module arguments when inserting
+the module, or through a debugfs interface.
+
+Usage: insmod lkdtm.ko [recur_count={>0}] cpoint_name=<> cpoint_type=<>
+                                [cpoint_count={>0}]
+
+  recur_count : Recursion level for the stack overflow test. Default is 10.
+
+  cpoint_name : Crash point where the kernel is to be crashed. It can be
+         one of INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY, INT_HW_IRQ_EN, INT_TASKLET_ENTRY,
+         FS_DEVRW, MEM_SWAPOUT, TIMERADD, SCSI_DISPATCH_CMD,
+         IDE_CORE_CP, DIRECT
+
+  cpoint_type : Indicates the action to be taken on hitting the crash point.
+     It can be one of PANIC, BUG, EXCEPTION, LOOP, OVERFLOW,
+     CORRUPT_STACK, UNALIGNED_LOAD_STORE_WRITE, OVERWRITE_ALLOCATION,
+     WRITE_AFTER_FREE,
+
+  cpoint_count : Indicates the number of times the crash point is to be hit
+    to trigger an action. The default is 10.
+
+You can also induce failures by mounting debugfs and writing the type to
+<mountpoint>/provoke-crash/<crashpoint>. E.g.,
+
+  mount -t debugfs debugfs /mnt
+  echo EXCEPTION > /mnt/provoke-crash/INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY
+
+
+A special file is `DIRECT' which will induce the crash directly without
+KPROBE instrumentation. This mode is the only one available when the module
+is built on a kernel without KPROBEs support.
