Subject: Linux Kernel GDB tracepoint module support most collect now

Linux Kernel GDB tracepoint module support action X and all agent
expression except the trace state variable codes. So KGTP can support
a lot of collect command of tracepoint in x86-64 and x86-32.

To get the new KGTP please goto http://code.google.com/p/kgtp/downloads/list

To get more message about GDB tracepoint please goto
http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Tracepoints.html

For example:

make
sudo insmod gtp.ko
sudo gdb ./vmlinux

(gdb) trace vfs_readdir
Tracepoint 1 at 0xffffffff8113f7fc: file
/home/teawater/kernel/linux-2.6/fs/readdir.c, line 24.
(gdb) actions
Enter actions for tracepoint 1, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".

>collect *file

Subject: Re: Linux Kernel GDB tracepoint module support most collect now

Some people have trouble with access to KGTP website. You can access
kgtp through svn:

svn checkout http://kgtp.googlecode.com/svn/ kgtp-read-only
kgtp-read-only/tags/ This directory have each release of KGTP.
The debug of this KGTP is open, please open gtp.c file remove line
"#define GTP_DEBUG KERN_WARNING" to close it.

Thanks,
Hui
