Copy paste to email is the way to go. You can also lookup "git send email" if you
want [1].

Make sure to have the following prefix in the email title: [RFC PATCH <project name>] Hugepages ...

<project name> would be either lttng-ust or lttng-tools for your patches.

Also make sure to give all the necessary details to test the patches and also the
pitfall/advantages you know regarding the use of hugepages. We do no expect the
patchset to be "integrated" into lttng (command line switch etc.) but one should
be able to take your patch and at least get a version of lttng working. Make
sure to indicate the current commit for each projects you are basing this work
on. As I said before, this is more a way of archiving the work you have done
then actively working on making lttng support hugepages.
