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