GPL it is then :)

There are bunch of kprobes/jprobe modules 

Packet tracer module:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/8/16/179

I have few modules for adding dump_stack()
and collect few stats in various places (mostly
for debugging things). If you really want to see them
I can post.

The routine is used for resolving symbol to address, 
so that we can insert probe point, like ..

+       for (i = 0, nt = nettrace_objs; i < MAX_NETTRACE_ROUTINE; i++, nt++) {
+               nt = &nettrace_objs[i];
+               nt->jp.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *)
+                   kallsyms_lookup_name(nt->funcname);
+               if (nt->jp.kp.addr) {
+                       printk("plant jprobe at %s (%p), handler addr %p\n",
+                              nt->funcname, nt->jp.kp.addr, nt->jp.entry);
+                       register_jprobe(&nt->jp);
+               } else {
+                       printk("couldn't find %s to plant jprobe\n",
+                              nt->funcname);
+               }
+       }


Thanks,
