From 614243181050436785f5a621749a7da2336a7916 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:26:56 +0900 Subject: tracing/kprobes: Support module init function probing To support probing module init functions, kprobe-tracer allows user to define a probe on non-existed function when it is given with a module name. This also enables user to set a probe on a function on a specific module, even if a same name (but different) function is locally defined in another module. The module name must be in the front of function name and separated by a ':'. e.g. btrfs:btrfs_init_sysfs Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072656.6528.89970.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation/trace') diff --git a/Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt b/Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt index c83bd6b4e6e8..d0d0bb9e3e25 100644 --- a/Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt +++ b/Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt @@ -22,14 +22,15 @@ current_tracer.
