Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:12:02 -0400 From: Mathieu Desnoyers <compudj@...stal.dyndns.org> To: ltt-dev@...fik.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: LTTng 0.10 for kernel 2.6.26 Hi, I just released LTTng kernel tracer 0.10 for kernel 2.6.26. The new userspace markers now have a brand new package, which includes the linker script for x86 32 and 64 bits and example code and Makefile, available at : http://ltt.polymtl.ca/packages/markers-userspace-0.5.tar.bz2 As always, the kernel patches are available at : http://ltt.polymtl.ca/lttng/patch-2.6.26-0.10.tar.bz2 The userspace tracing control tool : http://ltt.polymtl.ca/lttng/ltt-control-0.49-14072008.tar.gz The trace viewer : http://ltt.polymtl.ca/packages/lttv-0.10.0-pre13-27052008.tar.gz There is currently limited userspace tracing support : - It traces through a system call - It records a string taken from the syscall parameter to the kernel event "userspace_string". It's not as compact as the kernel binary format, but it "does the job" for now. Other type support are WIP. - The markers userspace object, linked with the binary, adds a section to describe the markers and new constructors/destructors to register the markers to the kernel. - It supports instrumentation of libraries and executables. - It is currently limited to activation of system-wide tracepoints. The easiest way to activate them is to have them registered when ltt-armalluser is executed. It will automatically find them through /proc and enable them system-wide. They will then be automatically activated for all new processes created which register these markers. - It is better to tell yourself to /proc/ltt to activate the named markers if you plan to run a program which has a short execution time, because they would have to be enabled before they are listed in /proc. See the ltt-armalluser script as an example; just put your own marker name instead. Feedback is welcome. See the version compatibility list for details : http://ltt.polymtl.ca/svn/ltt/branches/poly/doc/developer/lttng-lttv-compatibility.html And follow the quickstart guide for instructions about how to install and use the tools. http://ltt.polymtl.ca/svn/ltt/branches/poly/QUICKSTART Mathieu -- Mathieu Desnoyers 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/
