[lttng-dev] Does LTTng UST support ARM?

[Hongbo Zhang]

Hi all,
I got info that LTTng UST didn't support ARM platform, does anybody know if
there is any update about this? LTTng UST still doesn't support ARM
nowadays?
I can compile and install userspace-rcu and lttng-ust, but cannot get trace
result.
Thanks.

[lttng-dev] Does LTTng UST support ARM?

[Jan Glauber]

Hi Hongbo,
I'm using LTTng UST on ARM, so the statement that it does not support the
ARM platform is certainly wrong.

I don't know why you don't get trace results, can you provide some more
details about your setup (LTTng versions, commands you are using, console
output,...)

Regards, Jan

[lttng-dev] Does LTTng UST support ARM?

[Hongbo Zhang]

Thank you Jan.
Encouraged by the truth that LTTng UST does work on ARM, I paid more
efforts and run it on my ARM board at last.

I am using a Ubuntu on my board, and I installed lttng-ust and
userspace-rcu from source codes, but installed lttng-tools by apt-get
command(the babeltrace was also included I think), the reason I failed to
trace the lttng-tools from apt-get doesn't work and even doesn't give any
suggestive output.
Then I re-installed lttng-tools and babeltrace from source codes again,
then everything works :)

You need to use lttng-ust and lttng-tools (and lttng-modules if you use 
the kernel tracer) from the same release branch. So everything needs to 
be 2.4.x, or everything 2.3.x, etc.

If you compiled lttng-ust 2.4 from source, but the distro package 
installed lttng-tools let's say 2.2, it's expected that they wouldn't 
work. :)  However I'd suppose some sort of user-friendly message should 
be printed if incompatible versions are used together.

Cheers,
