• Thorough but more technically oriented information about kernel probes is in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/kprobes.txt (package ken-
rel-source).
• Examples of all three types of probes (together with related Makefile) are
in the /usr/src/linux/samples/kprobes/ directory (package ken-
rel-source).
• In-depth information about Linux kernel modules and printk kernel routine is
in The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide [http://tldp.org/LDP/
lkmpg/2.6/html/lkmpg.html]
• Practical but slightly outdated information about practical use of kernel probes is
in Kernel debugging with Kprobes [http://www.ibm.com/developer
