at_fork & at_exit

Hi,

Im looking for linux equivalent of the FreeBSD calls:

1. at_fork

typedef void
(*forklist_fn)(struct proc *, struct proc *, int);

int at_fork(forklist_fn func);

The at_fork facility allows a kernel module to ensure that it is notified at any process fork. The function func is called with the a pointer to the forking process's proc structure, a pointer to the child's process structure and a flag word, as used in rfork(2) to indicate the type of fork.

If the requirement for notification is removed, then the function rm_at_fork() must be called with the exact func argument as the corresponding call to at_fork().

2. at_exit

typedef void (exitlist_fn) (struct proc *);

int at_exit(exitlist_fn func);

The at_exit facility allows a kernel module to ensure that it is notified at any process exit. The function func is called with the a pointer to the exiting process's proc structure.



Specifically im on RHEL3... any pointers are appreciated...

thanks,
Arun
