[ltt-dev] Assertion Fail

[ltt-dev] Assertion Fail

[Sachin Desai]

Hi Mathieu,

I need troubleshooting the problem with an ltt_event_facility()
assertion crash. I am running the following:

lttv: 0.8.84
lttctl:? 0.42
lttng: 0.9.10
lnx: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2

I patched the mm tree, compiled and successfully ran it on a PowerMac
7447A ppc platform. Everything so far has been "out of the box". I
succesfully loaded the modules, installed lttctl and lttv (gui as
well). I verified the .xml files under /usr/.../.../facilities are the
correct ones. I do not have any custom facilities.

I have spend many days poring thru code, reading the mail archives and
attempting numerous "fixes". Can you please point me in the right
direction?

Below, I have pasted the crash output.

Thanks,

Sachin

Hi,

This kind of problem happened with old LTTng versions when the xml
facility description checksum did not match the checksum put in the code
generated by genevent.

So there seems to be an incompatibility between your lttng and
ltt-control versions (or the version of the facilities xml files
installed on your target system. They are copied into the trace
directory).

If I were you, I'd go with a more recent kernel and toolchain
altogether, or at least try a version that is not based on a rcX-mmY
kernel. I'm curious to know why you ended up using this precise kernel
version ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
