Hi,

Here is the architecture dependent instrumentation for LTTng. Not all
architectures are supported, and some of them have missing instrumentation
points.

The most complete should be :
x86_32, x86_64, powerpc, mips and arm.

It depends on the kernel trace thread flag patchset.

It instruments :
- traps/faults
- system calls
- kernel thread creation
- IPC calls

Mathieu
