LTTng 0.89 for Linux 2.6.29-rc3

Hi,

I just ported LTTng to the 2.6.29-rc3 kernel. It includes the following changes :

- Tree RCU instrumentation
- Updated ext4 and jbd2 instrumentation

Please feel free to try it and report any success/problem you may have. Note that cross-build has been slightly less tested this time because I'll have to upgrade many of my compilers to a version compatible with kernel 2.6.29-rc.

It also includes the recently added kprobes support through a simple

echo symbol_name > /mnt/debugfs/ltt/kprobes/enable

It's available at the new LTTng website :

http://www.lttng.org/

Hello, Matheiu,

When I try to apply this to v2.6.29-rc3, I get the following:

	can't find file to patch at input line 61
	Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
	The text leading up to this was:

Hi Paul,

I must admit I'm a bit puzzled. I've tried to quilt push -a both LTTng 0.89 and LTTng 0.92 taken from the website and they both apply correctly on 2.6.29-rc3. When I quilt pop -a, neither of those 3 files (include/linux/ltt-core.h, ltt/ltt-core.c, ltt/ltt-relay.c) are stucked in my tree.

I've used files from :

http://www.lttng.org/files/lttng/patch-2.6.29-rc3-lttng-0.92.tar.bz2

Which tarballs are you using exactly ?

I guess you need to apply them to your existing tree, so pointing you to git.kernel.org lttng tree won't help much here.

Later on, I might well want to apply on top of some other stuff, but figured I should try it straight first. ;-)

patching file kernel/trace/trace-clock-32-to-64.c
Patch attempted to create file kernel/trace/trace-clock-32-to-64.c, which already exists.

Should I be starting from somewhere other than v2.6.29-rc3?

Let's see it step by step, that should get us there.

Ah, yes, my mistake.

My apologies -- I was forgetting that
"git reset --hard" doesn't get rid of untracked files. I do see fuzz in a few places, but hopefully this is non-fatal. And in any case, I can now make the patch required to actually try this out. ;-)

Great !

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any question.

Fails to build on Power, so trying x86... (Stock 2.6.29-rc3 does build and boot, FWIW.)

Looks like misplaced file.

Ummm... No. I never have used quilt.

Ah, there is a series file. I guess it would not be too hard to make an appropriate "sh" command:

How about trying?

Maybe. If you want a quick and dirty solution, try :

CONFIG_IMMEDIATE=n

Immediate values are just an optimization, not necessary anyway.
