Synopsis of kprobe_events
-------------------------
- p[:[GRP/]EVENT] SYMBOL[+offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS] : Set a probe
- r[:[GRP/]EVENT] SYMBOL[+0] [FETCHARGS] : Set a return probe
+ p[:[GRP/]EVENT] [MOD:]SYM[+offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS] : Set a probe
+ r[:[GRP/]EVENT] [MOD:]SYM[+0] [FETCHARGS] : Set a return probe
-:[GRP/]EVENT : Clear a probe
GRP : Group name. If omitted, use "kprobes" for it.
EVENT : Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated
- based on SYMBOL+offs or MEMADDR.
- SYMBOL[+offs] : Symbol+offset where the probe is inserted.
+ based on SYM+offs or MEMADDR.
+ MOD : Module name which has given SYM.
+ SYM[+offs] : Symbol+offset where the probe is inserted.
MEMADDR : Address where the probe is inserted.
FETCHARGS : Arguments. Each probe can have up to 128 args.
