    Same e-mail on an archive as part of the patch got munged.

>Project Goal::
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>To create a kernel patch that  shall support methods to 
>non-intrusively 
>monitor
>processes/threads at the kernel level.  It would use a notfication

>the kernel that allows registration of events of interest regarding

>(fork),
>Process exit(exit), Process calls(exec), thread creation & thread exit.
>The implementation needs to provide high performance with low overhead.

>ensure low
>latency access to interesting events.
>
>Solution Approach:
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>This method requires a user space process (called monitor) to 
>start and 
>stop
>monitoring in the system.  The monitor sends the list of pids and the 
>events
>to be monitored for that pid. Once the ioctl is received, the kernel 
>establishes
> a filter for it.  Events get flooded in the system as each 
>call (fork, 
>exec and
>exit) has been modified to generate events. The events which match the
>filter become interesting and require that a notification is 
>sent to the 
>monitor
>process.  Events which do no match the filter get dropped.  In 
>the case when
> we have multiple monitor processes, signals are sent to each 
>monitor whose
> filters match the event which has occurred.
>

>Solution Description :
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>The registration and de-registration command are implemented 
>as ioctls. The
>notification command is implemented as a sigqueue signal. The 
>system calls
>such as fork, exit, and exec have been changed to add a notification
