[PATCH] kprobes: Update examples to target _do_fork

From: Steve Capper
Date: Wed Aug 12 2015 - 12:57:51 EST


In commit 3033f14ab78c ("clone: support passing tls argument via C
rather than pt_regs magic"), the kernel calls _do_fork in places where
it previously called do_fork.

Unfortunately, the kprobe examples target do_fork; thus no events
appear to fire when one runs the example modules.

This commit updates the kprobe example code s.t. _do_fork is targeted
instead, and the examples work as expected.
