Hi Andrew,

Yes, we have a working userspace implementation, but we are clearing out
the last details involved with distributing it under the LGPL license.
There are a few GPL dependencies we are taking care of.

E.g., we just had the OK from IBM to re-license their contribution to my
userspace RCU library to LGPL, which was the most important piece of the
puzzle. The rest is mostly atomic operations and a rcu list iteration.

And the last thing we would want is people to think that we are
distributing the userspace tracing library under a license too
restrictive for their use.

Second answer : the markers-userspace directory content has been re-used
in the implementation I think, but has been repackaged. I am putting
Pierre-Marc in CC, who did the userspace tracing port of LTTng.

Thanks for the interest you show :)

Mathieu
