[ltt-dev] simultaneous lttng kerner tracer and userspace tracer

[MEKEZE KWATCHO, PATRICK (PATRICK)]

I start lttv-gui with lttv-gui without argument.
After that, i used graphycal windows provided by lttv-gui to stard the trace and ended it.
But this method, no userspace event is avalaible on the viewer.

I have also try to stard the gui with the command lttv-gui -t path_to_hernel_trace , and atfer that, i added the userspace trace with add trace bouton provided by gui.
Because i have forgotten to change the clock, i have on viewer a separation beetwen kernel event and userspace event.
I think this will be arrange by changing  gettimeofday with kernel-lttng-compatible in the usttrace code as you have suggested.

My veritable problem is that i don't want to use usttrace tool to lunch my application.
I want only to run lttctl and trace both kernel event and userspace event. 
I think that something else should be done in the kernel or application to made it possible.

Could some mann have an idea, and example  or a tutorial, which would help me?

How do you start lttv-gui ?

Something like:

lttv-gui -t path_to_kernel_trace -t path_to_ust_trace

would be appropriate. Also make sure to look at the usttrace source code to select the kernel-lttng-compatible trace clock rather than gettimeofday. If you don't change that, the kernel and userspace data won't be aligned on the same timeline.

Thanks,

Mathieu
