LTTng 0.199 for Linux 2.6.33

Hi everyone,

I just released an updated LTTng tree/tarball that is now based on the 2.6.33
kernel. As always, comments and testing results are welcome.

Website:
http://lttng.org

Kernel tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/compudj/linux-2...
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/compudj/linux-2.6-lttng.git

Tarballs:
http://lttng.org/files/lttng/patch-2.6.33-lttng-0.199.tar...

There has been some changes in the way splice() works between 2.6.32 and 2.6.33
(commit cc56f7de7f00d188c7c4da1e9861581853b9e92f). It now checks for NULL llseek
fop in addition to check for the no_llseek. In LTTng, we use the offset value
directly in our own implementation of the splice_read fop, so there is no point
in having a llseek fop.  The solution I used to bypass this check is to create
my own copy of "no_llseek" in ltt-relay-splice.c, which does basically nothing,
but makes do_splice() happy.

Thanks,

Mathieu
