[ltt-dev] problems with ust

[Sylvain Geneves]

Hi all,

I've pulled UST from git yesterday, and noticed some errors, and some
are confusing me...

first of all, i have a problem for compiling my program (when i include
marker.h), it gives the following error :

In file included from /usr/local/include/ust/kcompat/kcompat.h:64,
                 from /usr/local/include/ust/kernelcompat.h:21,
                 from /usr/local/include/ust/marker.h:31,
                 from task.lbc.C:4:
/usr/local/include/ust/kcompat/jhash.h: In function ‘u32 jhash(const
void*, u32, u32)’:
/usr/local/include/ust/kcompat/jhash.h:47: error: invalid conversion
from ‘const void*’ to ‘const u8*’


seems like it lacks a cast somewhere, which i added. After that it
compiles fine, and there goes another problem :

when i run :
usttrace -l ./myprog

i've got the following output (with debug flags enabled):
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4uCgJDM6

myprog is calling clone via pthread_create. I have instrumented it with
a line like this, which is executed many times (almost 4 million calls):
  trace_mark(main, myevent, "calling cb" );

Here's what i see in the resulting trace directory:

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=TqJWarkA

it seems that all traces aren't recorded (some metadata and ust are zero
size), i can't understand why, i must be missing something here... ?

also, when using lttv, it says "Cannot open trace : maybe you should
enter in the trace directory to select it ?"
i note that lttv can open a subdirectory (like
/root/.usttraces/californium-20100329172748911948191/8494_5454077942969735172
in my example), but obviously all i can see is a subset of what really
happenned...

i would really appreciate if you could show me what i'm doing wrong.


Regards,
Sylvain

PS: i use userspace-rcu-0.4.3 and the git version of ust and lttv.
