               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)

       kprocess.exec_complete
              Return from exec to a new program

               See probe::kprocess.exec_complete(3stap)
