This should be the final LTT candidate before I make an official 0.9.6 release, so please test this out and report any problems. This release includes patches for vanilla 2.6.9, so testing should be rather straight-forward. I would like to thank Tim Bird of the CE Linux Forum for going through the LTT-dev mailing list archives and picking up some of the contributions that were posted there, and integrating it all. For this release, I've followed Andrew Morton's advice, and have proceeded with a namespace cleanup of the kernel code. So, instead of trace statements being like this: TRACE_SCHEDCHANGE(prev, next); they have the more mainstream form of: ltt_ev_schedchange(prev, next); Here are the highlights of the most important additions since the opening of the 0.9.6preX branch: * Lockless logging (relayfs) * Per-CPU buffering * TSC timestamping * Use of relayfs for buffering and user-space interfacing * Code cleanup for adhering to kernel coding standards * ARM port Enjoy, Karim Yaghmour -- Author, Speaker, Developer, Consultant Pushing Embedded and Real-Time Linux Systems Beyond the Limits http://www.opersys.com || karim@opersys.com || 1-866-677-4546
