Subject: [PATCH] libtracefs: Implement tracefs_kretprobe_raw()
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2021 17:18:03 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210630171803.3771559c@oasis.local.home> (raw)
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Add an interface that is similar to tracefs_kprobe_raw() but creates a
"kretprobe". The difference between a kprobe and a kretprobe is that a
kretprobe comes at the end of a function.
See Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.rst in the Linux kernel source code
for more information. Note, kprobes are started with "p" and kretprobe
lines start with an "r".
