   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, kernel_clone is instrumented
  12 *
  13 * For more information on theory of operation of kretprobes, see
  14 * Documentation/trace/kprobes.rst
  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.)
