However, after consulting with the RPi kernel side, it seems that even after trying to fix for the mentioned issue (i.e. by upgrading to the listed 'fixed' commit), I am still having issues installing the lttng-modules. The following link is the thread that I am having with the RPi kernel github: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2930 Even though it is listed that version 2.9 seems to be okay, recently I tried to re-install the lttng-modules onto another RPi, but this time even with the 'fixed' commit as suggested in the thread, lttng-modules still give the same 'buggy kernel implementation' error. Please do note that it seems CONFIG_OPTPROBES cannot be turned off at all during the kernel build, as it will be overriden by default and seems to be integral to the build of the RPi's RT kernel as well, hence this is not really an option either. Is there a specific way on how to upgrade to the mentioned 'fixed' commit without requiring a complete kernel overhaul? I am getting rather desparate as I need this to work for an upcoming assignment deadline this week. So I'm hoping that there is still potential solution to this.

It seems that the obvious course of action is not sufficient to fix the problem, and I can't spare the time to start building lttng just to debug it for you - sorry." Cherry-picking the kernel fix is not sufficient to let the lttng-modules kernel version blacklist mechanism know that the kernel indeed has the fix. That's because the blacklist is based on the kernel version ranges, and you did not change the kernel version. > Even though it is listed that version 2.9 seems to be okay, recently I tried to > re-install the lttng-modules onto another RPi, but this time even with the > 'fixed' commit as suggested in the thread, lttng-modules still give the same > 'buggy kernel implementation' error.

I my prior response, I never recommended to just cherry-pick the fix. I recommended that you upgrade your kernel tree to one that contains the fix (and has a version tag which guarantees that). > Is there a specific way on how to upgrade to the mentioned 'fixed' commit > without requiring a complete kernel overhaul? I am getting rather desparate as > I need this to work for an upcoming assignment deadline this week. So I'm > hoping that there is still potential solution to this. If you just cherry-picked the fix without changing the kernel version, the lttng-modules blacklist will still refuse to compile against your kernel, because the blacklist is based on kernel version range checks. There are a few solutions here: 1) Turn off CONFIG_OPTPROBES with the help of the RPi community, 2) Upgrade your kernel tree to a kernel version that is outside of the blacklist range. Not just cherry-picking the specific fix. 3) If you choose to just cherry-pick the fix and not change the kernel version, you can force lttng-modules to build against a blacklisted kernel version by removing those lines in the lttng-modules source tree: blacklist/kprobes.h: #if LTTNG_KERNEL_RANGE(4,20,0, 4,20,13) \ || LTTNG_KERNEL_RANGE(4,19,9, 4,19,26) \ || LTTNG_KERNEL_RANGE(4,14,87, 4,14,104) # if defined(CONFIG_ARM) && defined(CONFIG_OPTPROBES) # error "Your kernel is known to have buggy optimized kprobes implementation. Fixed by commit 0ac569bf6a7983c0c5747d6df8db9dc05bc92b6c \"ARM: 8834/1: Fix: kprobes: optimized kprobes illegal instruction\" in Linux. Disable CONFIG_OPTPROBES or upgrade your kernel." # endif /* #if defined(CONFIG_ARM) && defined(CONFIG_OPTPROBES) */ #endif This will ensure lttng-modules builds against your kernel even though it's in the range of kernel versions known to cause issues. But considering you cherry-picked the fix, then you should be fine. However, doing so removes the "belts and suspenders" we put in place to ensure you don't try to use a bogus kprobes. I therefore recommend solutions 1 or 2 rather than 3, but solution 3 might do the trick considering your short time-frame.
