3  * NOTE: This example is works on x86 and powerpc.
4  * Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of kprobes to dump a
5  * stack trace and selected registers when kernel_clone() is called.
6  *
7  * For more information on theory of operation of kprobes, see
8  * Documentation/trace/kprobes.rst
9  *
10  * You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the console
11  * whenever kernel_clone() is invoked to create a new process.
