The sample code uses kprobes, so this should also be: depends on KPROBES Is (are?) kprobes always needed for trace? If so, the documentation probably should mention that also (along with relay & debugfs). > + help > + This builds a trace example module. > + > endif # SAMPLES > diff --git a/samples/Makefile b/samples/Makefile > index 5a4f0b6..8f6d05b 100644 > --- a/samples/Makefile > +++ b/samples/Makefile > @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ > # Makefile for Linux samples code > > obj-$(CONFIG_SAMPLES) += markers/ > +obj-$(CONFIG_SAMPLES) += trace/ > diff --git a/samples/trace/Makefile b/samples/trace/Makefile > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000..a2da8af > --- /dev/null > +++ b/samples/trace/Makefile > @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ > +# builds the trace example kernel modules; > +# then to use (as root): insmod <fork_trace.ko> > + > +obj-$(CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACE) := fork_trace.o > diff --git a/samples/trace/fork_trace.c b/samples/trace/fork_trace.c > new file mode 100644 > index 0000000..71c04c7 > --- /dev/null > +++ b/samples/trace/fork_trace.c > @@ -0,0 +1,132 @@ > +/* > + * An example of using trace in a kprobes module > + * > + * Copyright (C) 2007 IBM Inc. > + * > + * David Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > + * > + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify > + * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as > + * published by the Free Software Foundation. > + * > + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, > + * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of > + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
