- *
- * Jprobes (a.k.a. "jump probes" which is built on-top of kprobes) allow a
- * probe to be inserted into the beginning of a function call. The fundamental
- * difference between a jprobe and a kprobe is the jprobe handler is executed
- * in the same context as the target function, while the kprobe handlers
- * are executed in interrupt context.
- *
- * For jprobes we initially gain control by placing a break point in the
- * first instruction of the targeted function. When we catch that specific
- * break, we:
- * * set the return address to our jprobe_inst_return() function
- * * jump to the jprobe handler function
- *
- * Since we fixed up the return address, the jprobe handler will return to our
- * jprobe_inst_return() function, giving us control again. At this point we
- * are back in the parents frame marker, so we do yet another call to our
- * jprobe_break() function to fix up the frame marker as it would normally
- * exist in the target function.
- *
- * Our jprobe_return function then transfers control back to kprobes.c by
- * executing a break instruction using one of our reserved numbers. When we
- * catch that break in kprobes.c, we continue like we do for a normal kprobe
- * by single stepping the emulated instruction, and then returning execution
- * to the correct location.
