[lttng-dev] User-space and kernel-space time stamps synchronisation.

[Arshad, Adeel]

Hi Mathieu,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes your guess is right I am testing this stuff on older versions i.e ust 0.12 and Linux kernel 2.6.32.
I have already checked the formatting of patch as per the Linux Kernel patch submission standards [ scripts/checkpatch.pl ]. And regarding the Project Maintainers, when I run the get_maintainer.pl script on my patch I get the following list, should I include all of them in CC ? 

./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit ~/MEL-5/melbsp-115/upstream-patches/trace-clock-userspace-arm.patch 

Russell King <linux at arm.linux.org.uk>
Tony Lindgren <tony at atomide.com>
linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org
linux-omap at vger.kernel.org

Hi!

Did you do this work for lttng and ust 0.x or lttng/lttng-ust 2.0 ?

In both cases, you can send the code as a set of [RFC patch project] to
begin with, and we'll let you know if some changes are needed.

Please follow the Linux kernel patch submission guide lines for
formatting, and send those to lttng-dev at lists.lttng.org, CC'ing the
project maintainer.

In terms of mainlining, we'll certainly be interested to integrate your
work into LTTng 2.1 (we plan to keep the monotonic clock for lttng 2.0).
As far as 0.x is concerned, it's been feature-frozen for a while, so if
your patch targets this version, we might have to adapt it to LTTng 2.0.

Best regards,

Mathieu
