STAPPROBES.KPROCESS(3stap)

NAME
stapprobes.kprocess - systemtap kernel process probe points

DESCRIPTION
This family of probe points is used to probe the kernel's process activities. It contains the following probe points:

kprocess.create
    Fires whenever a new process is successfully created, either as a result of one of the fork syscall variants, or a new kernel thread. Arguments: task
      a handle to the newly created process new_pid
      pid of the newly created process

kprocess.start
    Fires immediately before a new process begins execution. Arguments: N/A

kprocess.exec
    Fires whenever a process attempts to exec to a new program Arguments: filename
      the path to the new executable

kprocess.exec_complete
    Fires at the completion of an exec call Arguments: errno
      the error number resulting from the exec success
      a boolean indicating whether the exec was successful

kprocess.exit
    Fires when a process terminates. This will always be followed by a kprocess.release, though the latter may be delayed if the process waits in a zombie state. Arguments: code
      the exit code of the process

kprocess.release
    Fires when a process is released from the kernel. This always follows a kprocess.exit, though it may be delayed somewhat if the process waits in a zombie state. Arguments: task
      a task handle to the process being released pid
      pid of the process being released
