Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] Provide in-kernel headers for making it easy to extend the kernel

e), and it was pretty messy trying to show people how to benefit from such tools under Android. Joel's present set of patches would obviate this problem. HTH, -- Karim Yaghmour CEO - Opersys inc. / www.opersys.com http://twitter.com/karimyaghmour

I can still get the necessary kernel headers for user-space tools to properly operate regardless of which part of the system id being substituted or replaced. Cheers, -- Karim Yaghmour CEO - Opersys inc. / www.opersys.com http://twitter.com/karimyaghmour

Re: [RFC] Provide in-kernel headers for making it easy to extend the kernel

t. I agree. There definitely needs to be a "just collect a damn trace" button that works on any device, and for this button to work and incorporate eBPF, the system needs to be able to describe itself. I like that: "the system needs to be able to describe itself". True. Cheers, -- Karim Yaghmour CEO - Opersys inc. / www.opersys.com http://twitter.com/karimyaghmour

Re: [RFC] Provide in-kernel headers for making it easy to extend the kernel

ftrace has within the Android ecosystem until there's a way to use it without having to chase kernel headers independently of kernel images. There are "too many clicks" involved and someone somewhere will drop the ball if it's not glued to the kernel in some way shape or form. Any solution that solves this is one I'd love to hear about.
