Therefore, maybe the name is a bit misleading ? And yes, what is there is good, but it does not seem to be a replacement for a generic kernel tracer. My suggestions to turn it into a more suitable interface for a generic tracer are summarized in this email: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/15/136 Mathieu -- Mathieu Desnoyers Computer Engineering Ph.D. Student, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal OpenPGP key fingerprint: 8CD5 52C3 8E3C 4140 715F BA06 3F25 A8FE 3BAE 9A68 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
