[lttng-dev] Version of LTTng for kernel 2.6.25?

[Daniel Griscom]

I'd like to use LTTng, but I'm using an old kernel (and can't upgrade):

>$ cat /proc/version
>Linux version 2.6.25.10-prof (root at atmdev) (gcc version 3.4.6 
>(Gentoo Hardened 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)) #5 PREEMPT Sat 
>Mar 3 16:51:19 EST 2012

I understand that the latest kernel modules require kernel 2.6.38 or 
later. What is the latest version of the kernel tools that I could 
run? Are the user-space tools kernel-independent (and 
LTTng-modules-independent)?


Thanks,
Dan

You'll have to dig the old LTTng 0.x kernel tracer series (see legacy on
the website). Good luck with that, as it is not supported anymore.

Yes, the user-space tracing part is kernel-independent and
lttng-modules-independent. However, you will not be able to control the
old lttng 0.x kernel tracer with the lttng 2.0 control tools.

Good luck!
