Hi,
Here is the first release candidate of LTTng modules 2.11 Linux kernel
tracer.
This release is named after a modern Saison beer from Montréal's Oshlag
microbrewery. It is a refreshing, zesty, rice beer with hints of fruit and
spices. Some even say it makes for a great Somaek when mixed with Chamisul
Soju, not that we've tried!
Lafontaine is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to a water leak that
affected EfficiOS's offices during the development of this release.
The most notable features of this new release that apply to lttng-modules
are:
Session rotation
Dynamic user-space tracing with uprobes
User and kernel space call stack capture from the kernel tracer
Support for arrays and bitwise binary operators in filters
