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