Great.

We will try soon.

The systemtap README includes these words:

  [...]
  To run a simple test.
  # stap -v -e 'probe vfs.read {printf("read performed\n"); exit()}'

  To run the full test suite from the build tree.
  # make installcheck
  [...]

The full installcheck suite exercises kprobes some, but not in a
stressful mode, like

      probe kernel.function("*").* {}

That's partly because the x86 kernel has never been able to survive
such a test.  It would be great if arm kprobes were robust enough.
