Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli 804defea1c Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/
Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/.
Patch originally by Randy Dunlap.

o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3
o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently,
  the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc
o Cleaned up unneeded #includes
o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break
  on archs that don't have kretprobes
o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES
o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git
o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to
  determine routine execution times:
	Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine
	execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.

/*
* 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.)
