Hi,

We usually backport tracepoint instrumentation updates to support newer
kernels, but as Alexandre Montplaisir pointed out, there is a
significant tracepoint API change introduced in kernel 3.15 that
requires the new lttng-tracepoint.c adapter, and I would consider it
far-fetched to backport it as a fix. This is why we chose not to support
kernels 3.15+ in lttng-modules 2.4.

Therefore, upgrading to lttng-modules 2.5 would be the appropriate
solution. Please keep in mind that this is not usually required. This is
a rare situation where there has been a significant module API change in
the Linux kernel that required implementing a new adapter to support the
new kernel.

Thanks,

Mathieu
