This patch adds support for kprobes on ftrace call sites to avoids
much of the overhead with regular kprobes. Try it with simple
steps:
echo 'p:myprobe sys_clone a0=%a0 a1=%a1 stack_val=+4($stack)' > /sys/kernel/de
bug/tracing/kprobe_events
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
