[PATCH] Documentation: improving tracepoints.txt

From: Breno Leitao
Date: Tue Oct 06 2009 - 16:11:23 EST


After reading the tracepoints.txt documentation, I tried to
follow the instructions to run the sample, but just assigning
CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACEPOINTS=m wasn't enough to generate the tracepoints
samples. I also need to set CONFIG_SAMPLES=y, otherwise nothing
happens.

So, this silly patch explicit says that CONFIG_SAMPLES should be set to
compile those files.

Compile them with your kernel. They are built during 'make' (not
-'make modules') when CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACEPOINTS=m.
+'make modules') when CONFIG_SAMPLE=y and CONFIG_SAMPLE_TRACEPOINTS=m.

Run, as root :
modprobe tracepoint-sample (insmod order is not important)
