/*
 * oomkill	Trace OOM killer.
 *		For Linux, uses bpftrace and eBPF.
 *
 * This traces the kernel out-of-memory killer, and prints basic details,
 * including the system load averages. This can provide more context on the
 * system state at the time of OOM: was it getting busier or steady, based
 * on the load averages? This tool may also be useful to customize for
 * investigations; for example, by adding other task_struct details at the
 * time of the OOM, or other commands in the system() call.
 *
 * This currently works by using kernel dynamic tracing of oom_kill_process().
 *
 * USAGE: oomkill.bt
