>>     Aha!  There is one crucial mistake in the ibm.com document: he installs the packages in the wrong order.  lttng-tools must be installed AFTER lttng-modules and lttng-ust.  lttng-modules can be installed before, during or after lttng-ust, but userspace-rcu must be installed before lttng-ust.
>>     The problem is that the configure of lttng-tools detects the presence or absence of lttng-modules and also detects the presence or absence of lttng-ust, and adjusts to both.  By installing lttng-tools before lttng-modules, you've built an lttng-tools set that CANNOT be used to trace the kernel.

ok, but what can i do?

how can i signing the module?
