It's been updated a few days ago. Yes, we could have done better in the
past two years. We're currently reviewing the entire website to make
sure it's current.

lttng-modules README files states that 3.0 kernel are supported.

No.

Yes. User-space tracing is independent from the kernel, it's all
done in user-space.

Not yet. It's being currently actively worked on. It's in the process of
being ported to LTTng 2.0.

What would you recommend ?

Would a per-Linux-distribution list like this that indicates which
distributions and kernels are known to work make the website easier to
navigate ?

Distro           Kernel Tracing                      Userspace Tracing

Ubuntu 11.10           Y (2.6.38+ kernel)                   Y
Fedora x.y            ...                                  ... 
Debian a.b            ...                                  ...

Thanks,

Mathieu
