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