The SystemTap guru mode can be used to test error handling
in kernel code by simulating faults. The functions in the
this tapset provide
standard methods of writing to primitive types in the kernel's
memory. All the functions in this tapset require the use of
guru mode (<span class="command"><strong>-g</strong></span>).
