   3  * kretprobe_example.c
   4  *
   5  * Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of return probes to
   6  * report the return value and total time taken for probed function
   7  * to run.
   8  *
   9  * usage: insmod kretprobe_example.ko func=<func_name>
  10  *
  11  * If no func_name is specified, _do_fork is instrumented
  12  *
  13  * For more information on theory of operation of kretprobes, see
  14  * Documentation/kprobes.txt
  15  *
  16  * Build and insert the kernel module as done in the kprobe example.
  17  * You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the console
  18  * whenever the probed function returns. (Some messages may be suppressed
  19  * if syslogd is configured to eliminate duplicate messages.)
