Re: KGTP (Linux Kernel debugger and tracer) 20111111 release (Android support OK)

[Hui Zhu <teawater at gmail dot com>]

Hi Geunsik,

Thanks for your patch.
But  Kernel upstream:
struct perf_event *
perf_event_create_kernel_counter(struct perf_event_attr *attr, int cpu,
				 struct task_struct *task,
				 perf_overflow_handler_t overflow_handler,
				 void *context)

I am sorry that gtp.patch is just for the Kernel upstream (Actually,
it just for review).

I suggest you use LKM if it is OK for you.

If you want include KGTP into your kernel tree or something, maybe I
can supply a special patch for you.

BTW looks I need release an gtp_auto.patch that can patch to most of
Linux kernel.

Thanks,
Hui
