Subject: [ANNOUNCE] kmemtrace-user repo update

Hi everybody,

This concerns...
http://repo.or.cz/w/kmemtrace-user.git

kmemtrace-user's git repo has been update. This is the last revision
history alteration. Due to missing copyright notices and other problems,
I preferred to keep things clean.

So now you need to git-clone it again, but it will no longer be
necessary in the future. 

Changes:
- Refactored code, it's a lot cleaner now.
- It now works on 32-bit machines, or at least I hope so: it no longer
  exhibits problems when the userspace is compiled with the -m32 flag.
- We now use mmap() for almost anything.
- kmemtraced copies /proc/kallsyms, so if you want to hack on
  kmemtrace-report, you no longer need to do all stuff on a
  kmemtrace-enabled kernel.
- Probably other misc janitorial stuff.

Priority todos:
- Integrate Tom's UTT patch (thanks again). I'd first like to provide a UTT
  wrapper in the kernel to provide all those files without having to
  explicitly code things in kmemtrace.
- Make it work cross-arch (endianness etc.).

Kinda lower priority todos:
- Add timestamps. Useful to measure allocations' lifetimes in a tangible
  way.


Please take a shot at this and let me know what you think.


	Cheers,
	Eduard
