[PATCH 0/3] A kernel tracing interface - (updated)
These patches provide a kernel tracing interface called "trace".
(update) Fixed a notation in the trace documentation as pointed out by Randy Dunlap. Updated references to prerequisite patches.
The motivation for "trace" is to: - Provide a simple set of tracing primitives that will utilize the high- performance and low-overhead of relayfs for passing traces data from kernel to user space. - Provide a common user interface for managing kernel traces. - Allow for binary as well as ascii trace data. - Incorporate features from the systemtap runtime that are useful to others.
Patches are against 2.6.23-rc8-mm2
Summary of patches: [patch 1/3] Trace code and documentation [patch 2/3] Relay Reset Consumed [patch 3/3] Trace sample
Note: Patch 2/3 provides a service used by patch 1/3 thus must be applied first or at the same time.
Note: The following patches must be applied prior to 3/3. [patch 3/5] Add samples subdir http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/28/178
