Hi. I think that viewing tracing tools like LTT and systemtap as strictly kernel debug tools is very short-sighted. With a good post-processing tool, tracing is very useful to application developers who can benefit by visualizing the interaction between user-level tasks and the OS as well as the synchronization of multiple tasks/threads. IOW, tracing is in many ways an _application_ debug tool, not a _kernel_ debug tool. And application developers usually do not want to run a debug kernel. I would like to see relayfs merged. -- Steve Rotolo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
