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.

/*
* NOTE: This example is works on x86 and powerpc.
* Here's a sample kernel module showing the use of kprobes to dump a
* stack trace and selected registers when do_fork() is called.
*
* For more information on theory of operation of kprobes, see
* Documentation/kprobes.txt
*
* You will see the trace data in /var/log/messages and on the console
* whenever do_fork() is invoked to create a new process.
