+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}.

+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},

+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
