Kernel tracing, so that we can help userspace application developpers
and kernel developpers debug problems caused by system-wide
program interactions.

See :

The patchset, including the LTTng tracer :

http://ltt.polymtl.ca/lttng/patch-2.6.24-rc4-git3-lttng-0.10-pre39.tar.bz2

To get the userspace apps that are needed to do something useful :
