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=<func_name>' to determine execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.

2 * Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of jprobes to dump
3 * the arguments of do_fork().
4 *
5 * For more information on theory of operation of jprobes, see
6 * Documentation/kprobes.txt
7 *
8 * Build and insert the kernel module as done in the kprobe example.
9 * You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the
10 * console whenever do_fork() is invoked to create a new process.
11 * (Some messages may be suppressed if syslogd is configured to
12 * eliminate duplicate messages.)
