After its various recent troubles, fits, and starts, the Fedora rawhide
kernels are being built and published frequently again.  I thought I'd
mention that Rawhide's kernel-doc package is a convenient way to get the
utrace documentation (and all the kernel DocBook/kerneldoc stuff) in
formatted form for easy reading.  e.g. fetch:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/x86_64/os/Packages/kernel-doc-2.6.27-0.290.rc5.fc10.noarch.rpm

This rpm contains only documentation files and doesn't require anything
else, so you should have no trouble installing it on some other system
flavor (or just rpm2cpio | cpio out its files).  Then point a web browser at:

file:///usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.27/Documentation/DocBook/utrace/index.html

or you can also do 'man utrace_control' et al.

This may be handy even if you build your own utrace-enabled kernel anyway.
The 'make htmldocs' and 'make mandocs' build procedures are very slow.


Thanks,
Roland
