Hello,
When I compile the kernel2.4.16 and I get a kernel panic when I reboot the
m/c with the new kernel. I have a redhat 9.0 version and when I use the
sources in the /usr/src/linux.x.x.x they work fine for me. by doing the nm
linux/vmlinux i get the EIP as c01070a6 and the function it points is
do_signal. I have sony vaio laptop 2.4 ghz, celeron.
I need linux2.4.16 because i want to use LTT and the documentation of LTT
says that it can be used with that version. Can somebody gimme sm pointer
realted to this.
Thanks,
Amit Khandelwal

You may want to try fixing this patch for the latest kernel (and I could
then host the updated patch on the project's site.) Or you may want to try
LTT 0.9.6pre3 with linux 2.6.3 and relayfs. This is the latest development
version. It's got rough edges, but it shouldn't be too hard to get working.

Hello Karim,
I had few issues related to compiling 2.6.3 on redhat 9.0. I have got that up
and running except for the (networking)eth0 support. I see Ltt 0.9.6pre2 and
not pre3 on the site am I missing sm thing??

Right, I just didn't have time to put up the tradition HTML pointers on
the project's site. You'll 0.9.6pre3 here:

The Patches/ directory of LTT is empty. Do I need to download the patches from
somewhere else? The installation of LTT suggests that we need to patch the
kernel.
Thanks in advance.

The patch was posted to ltt-dev:

Hi,
The patches got installed smoothly however, like in linux-2.4.19 this
time the "Kernel Tracing" option didn't come up when I did "make xconfig". I
copied the CONFIG_TRACE=m from my .config of linux-2.4.19. I hope this is
correct.
Thanks for all the help.

No, this isn't the right way.
You need to enable relayfs support in "File Systems"->"Pseudo filesystems",
then you will be able to select "General setup"->"Linux Trace Toolkit support".

Hey Karim,
The installation has gone through smoothly and I have managed to get an
linux-2.6.3 up and running with LTT.
I checked the documentation and it says that I need to do an insmod on the
tracer but I have compiled it as a part of the kernel. Now the documentation
says that I should execute the createdev.sh to create the devices. When I
execute that I get errors related to tracer. When I try to execute the
tracedaemon I get that relayfs is not mounted. Can you please tell me how to
go about doing the first part. After doing all this I want to run some test
cases and see how does LTT generate traces. Later on I would also like to
add rtai to this and see the traces from that too.
Thanks!
-Amit Khandelwal
PS. I would like to write down a small howto on this and pass it on to you
so that newbies like me can have a good ref. Thanks for the help.

The documentation is out of date. Basically, the createdev.sh script isn't
needed anymore because of relayfs. You need to mount relayfs to use LTT.
See the classic dox on filesystem mounting for this kind of thing. It's
going to be something like:
# mount -t relayfs nodev /mnt/relay
There's no insmod for LTT. It isn't a device driver module, following LKML
recommendations.
As for RTAI, there's currently no RTAI support in relayfs. If you want to have
RTAI tracing, then you'd have to fall back on earlier stable versions of LTT.

Sure.

Hello Karim,
We have got LTT running for 2.6.3 and 2.419. We collected some traces
for both 2.4.19 and 2.6.3. The gui looks really cool. However, just one
thing with 2.6.3 when I feed in the trace file and the proc file it dumps
core.
I execute the following command :-
- tracedaemon -ts10 ./out.trace ./out.proc
to get the trace and the proc file.
Thanks,
Amit Khandelwal

Using pre3, right? That's why it's called a development version :)
Let me know when you've got it fixed, and send me a patch :D
