[lttng-dev] No trace files are generated for UST

Yes, with that LD_PRELOAD sample able to run.

root@/tmp/lttng-build-root/bin # ./lttng create app
Session app created.
Traces will be written in /root/lttng-traces/app-20131206-174935

   Try running sample using:

LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/lttng-build-root/lib/liblttng-ust.so.0 ./sample

   If the LD_PRELOAD succeeds, we will know at least that liblttng-ust is reachable by sample.

   The modules have nothing to do with UST: kernel and user-space tracing are essentially independent features.
