✨ NAME ✨

tapset::kprocess — it's the systemtap kprocess tapset, babes. that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, this whole family of probe points exists to probe process-related activities. that's it. that's the vibe. every process doing process things? we're watching. main character energy for the kernel, fr fr. 💅

here's the full lineup of probes, no skips, no skimming:

• kprocess.create — Fires whenever a new process or thread is successfully created 🎀

See probe::kprocess.create(3stap) for details.

• kprocess.start — Starting new process 🦋

See probe::kprocess.start(3stap) for details.

• kprocess.exec — Attempt to exec to a new program ✨

See probe::kprocess.exec(3stap) for details.

• kprocess.exec_complete — Return from exec to a new program 🔥

See probe::kprocess.exec_complete(3stap) for details.

• kprocess.exit — Exit from process 💀

See probe::kprocess.exit(3stap) for details.

• kprocess.release — Process released 🌈

See probe::kprocess.release(3stap) for details.

lowkey each one of these has its own whole page, so if you want the deets, go read the probe:: page it points at. we are simply the hub. the group chat. the linktree. 😭
