@section Non-local Goto Probes
These probes are used to signal calls to @code{setjmp}, @code{sigsetjmp},
@code{longjmp} or @code{siglongjmp}.
@deftp Probe setjmp (void *@var{$arg1}, int @var{$arg2}, void *@var{$arg3})
This probe is triggered whenever @code{setjmp} or @code{sigsetjmp} is
called. Argument @var{$arg1} is a pointer to the @code{jmp_buf}
passed as the first argument of @code{setjmp} or @code{sigsetjmp},
@var{$arg2} is the second argument of @code{sigsetjmp} or zero if this
is a call to @code{setjmp} and @var{$arg3} is a pointer to the return
address that will be stored in the @code{jmp_buf}.

@deftp Probe longjmp (void *@var{$arg1}, int @var{$arg2}, void *@var{$arg3})
This probe is triggered whenever @code{longjmp} or @code{siglongjmp}
is called. Argument @var{$arg1} is a pointer to the @code{jmp_buf}
passed as the first argument of @code{longjmp} or @code{siglongjmp},
@var{$arg2} is the return value passed as the second argument of
@code{longjmp} or @code{siglongjmp} and @var{$arg3} is a pointer to
the return address @code{longjmp} or @code{siglongjmp} will return to.
The @code{longjmp} probe is triggered at a point where the registers
have not yet been restored to the values in the @code{jmp_buf} and
unwinding will show a call stack including the caller of
@code{longjmp} or @code{siglongjmp}.
@end deftp
@deftp Probe longjmp_target (void *@var{$arg1}, int @var{$arg2}, void *@var{$arg3})
This probe is triggered under the same conditions and with the same
arguments as the @code{longjmp} probe.
The @code{longjmp_target} probe is triggered at a point where the
registers have been restored to the values in the @code{jmp_buf} and
unwinding will show a call stack including the caller of @code{setjmp}
or @code{sigsetjmp}.
