This sounds very useful for a lot of interesting stuff. Though in the current form maybe the name is not appropriate: the module doesn't keep track of the fork history, this would be done in user-space. The module is more like a relay for fork monitoring.
If you plan to extend this to multiple registered user space processes it would be great to have per process reporting policies, for example: - all forks, - only forks of descendants (children, etc).
