Hi Nicholas, It looks like our lttng-modules kernel version blacklist is acting exactly as it should. Looking at this git tree: git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git -b rpi-4.14.y-rt I notice that in the git log, we find this bogus commit: commit f9e0bc710347fadad55910846ee36f0681d0dca8 Author: Kees Cook <keesc...@chromium.org> Date: Tue Oct 30 22:12:56 2018 +0100 ARM: 8806/1: kprobes: Fix false positive with FORTIFY_SOURCE commit e46daee53bb50bde38805f1823a182979724c229 upstream. But not the fix for it (upstream): commit 0ac569bf6a7983c0c5747d6df8db9dc05bc92b6c Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoy...@efficios.com> Date: Tue Feb 5 16:37:40 2019 +0100 ARM: 8834/1: Fix: kprobes: optimized kprobes illegal instruction So lttng-modules refuses to build against your kernel configuration with CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y to save you the trouble of having kprobes trigger illegal instruction OOPS at runtime. I'm unusure who maintains that raspberrypi rt kernel tree. However, the upstream rt tree for 4.14-rt maintained by Tom Zanussi seems to contain the fix: [ https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt/+/refs/heads/v4.14-rt | https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt/+/refs/heads/v4.14-rt ] (currently at 4.14.109-rt57). So you should contact your raspberrypi linux rt tree clone maintainer and ask him to upgrade, or, as stated in the #error generated by lttng-modules, simply ensure CONFIG_OPTPROBES is unset when you build your kernel. You should ask the raspberrypi community advice on how to ensure this configuration option is not overridden by the raspberrypi build system.
