Proposal of collaboration with SystemTap and LKST

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hello, all.

On this SystemTap ML, I noticed the hook point of LKST had been
mentioned in January this year.
I am very interested in this SystemTap as one of the developers of LKST.
I would like to contribute to this project by making the best use of the
know-how of LKST development.
Especially, LKSTLogTools that we released recently would be very useful
to achieve the kernel performance evaluation on the SystemTap.
These tools support the performance analysis by processing the log that
LKST collected. And you can download it from following URL.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkst/
My idea is to collect information on the performance by using SystemTAP
and LKST, and to process them by LKSTLogTools later.
I will develop TAPSets compatible with hook points about LKSTLogTools
and LKST.

By the way, the hook points newly added with LKSTLogTools are different
from the one that became a topic in this mailing list before. These new
hook points provide many useful information for performance analysis.
Please try to use LKSTLogTools. It would be greatly appreciated if some
comments could be gotten.

Best regards,
