so I have like 5 more patches from the original CTF set
which I'm holding until all works with tracecompass:
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=142736197610573&w=2

Is it working for you? How do you test resulted CTF data?

anyway the patch looks ok, just small nit below

this leg can also fail due to:

        err = perf_session__process_events(session);
        if (!err)
                err = bt_ctf_stream_flush(cw->stream);


so we might want to inform about that like:
	if (err)
		pr_err("Error during conversion.\n");


thanks,
jirka
