Kernel tracing from inside a Docker container

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi,

lttng-modules exposes its control ABI through the
virtual file /proc/lttng.

Does you container have access to that file ?

Note that if you give access to that file within the
container, then the container can observe detailed
information about kernel internals (including related
to other containers).

Thanks,

Mathieu
