This is a sample kprobes module that implements a simple misc char device
that can cause arbitrary text to be printk'ed when arbitrary kernel
addresses are executed.
This patch was created on top of a 2.5.47 kernel with the kprobes
patch applied.
I created this driver just to learn what kprobes was all about. I am
sending this to the mailing list for other people that are curious about
kprobes (and also to have people who know more about kprobes show me where
my understanding is flawed.)
To use the device, create a misc char node with a minor of 221, and then
write strings of the format "0xADDRESS MESSAGE" to the device. When the
file is closed all kprobes are unregistered, so I usually test by doing:
$ mknod /dev/noisy c 10 221
$ cat > /dev/noisy
0xc0107d50 sys_fork
.. and then go do something that will trigger a sys_fork.

+ If you say Y here and create a character special file /dev/noisy with
+ major number 10 and minor number 221 using mknod ("man mknod"), you
+ will get access to an interface for inserting arbitrary printk's
+ into executing kernel code.
+
+ This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module is called noisy.o. If you want to compile it as a module,
+ say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
