[ltt-dev] Re : Run simultaneous lttng kerner tracer and userspace tracer

[pmekeze@yahoo.fr (patrick mekeze)]

thank mathieu for this clear answer.

i have run my application as you have explained and it work very well.
but what i?was searching about is?how to run and trace a userspace application without use usttrace.
now i?have found?a answer of this question?in the userspace trace?manuel. 
the answer consist to mount the?ltt-userspace-event module in the?kernel. 
this will enable in the?/mnt/debugfs/ltt directory a virtual file name's write_event.
writing in this file would generates a event in the kernel and the string that you have write would be the event parameter

thank,

Patrick??

lttctl is only for kernel traces. If you want to combine both traces:

lttctl -C -w /tmp/trace1 trace

usttrace myprog

lttctl -D trace

lttv-gui -t /tmp/trace1 -t /path_to_ust_saved_trace

That should work. And don't forget to edit the usttrace source code to
select the kernel tracer compatible trace clock timestamp source, else
your timestamps will be desynchronized.
