Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: improving tracepoints.txt
Date: Tue,  6 Oct 2009 17:09:31 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254859771-8873-1-git-send-email-leitao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

After reading the tracepoints.txt documentation, I tried to
follow the instructions to run the sample, but just assigning
CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACEPOINTS=m wasn't enough to generate the tracepoints
samples. I also need to set CONFIG_SAMPLES=y, otherwise nothing
happens.

So, this silly patch explicit says that CONFIG_SAMPLES should be set to
compile those files.

 Compile them with your kernel.  They are built during 'make' (not
-'make modules') when CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACEPOINTS=m.

 Run, as root :
 modprobe tracepoint-sample (insmod order is not important)
