Hi,

LTTng 0.51 for 2.6.27.4 does the following :

It improves timestamping on architectures with non-synchronized TSCs in
LTTng 0.51. I also now use per-cpu timers to do some time-related stuff
I previously used IPIs for. It involves being more closely tied to the
CPU hotplug callbacks.

I also replaced x86 tsc_sync.c test by LTTng architecture independent
test. (this will be posted separately on LKML for 2.6.28-rc3 tomorrow
along with the "tracer clock" patchset).

The event trap_entry, syscall_entry, irq_entry, softirq entry, exit and
raise now use smaller fields (2 bytes), which should be enough to encode
the IDs for all architectures. This will principally make a difference
with non-aligned tracing for most of those events.

Mathieu
