[RFC patch 08/20] LTTng Kernel Trace Thread Flag ia64

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Sat May 09 2009 - 12:54:19 EST


Add a thread flag to activate system-wide syscall tracing.

FIXME : Masami reported that enabling the KERNEL_TRACE thread flag did disable
the gate page for gettimeofday, falling back on a standard system call. More
work would be needed in this area and I don't have the architecture available.
