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