5	  Linux kernel modules for the LTTng 2.x kernel tracing
6	  infrastructure.
7
8	  Make sure your target kernel has the following config
9	  options enabled:
10
11	    * CONFIG_MODULES: loadable module support
12	    * CONFIG_KALLSYMS: this is necessary until the few
13	      required missing symbols are exported to GPL
14	      modules from mainline
15	    * CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS: needed for LTTng 2.x
16	      clock source
17	    * CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS: kernel tracepoint instrumentation
18	      (enabled as a side-effect of any of the
19	      perf/ftrace/blktrace instrumentation features)
20
21	  The following kernel configuration options will
22	  affect the features available from LTTng:
23
24	    * CONFIG_HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS: system call tracing
25	    * CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS: performance counters
26	    * CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING: needed to allow block layer tracing
27	    * CONFIG_KPROBES: dynamic probes
28	    * CONFIG_KRETPROBES: dynamic function entry/return probes
29	    * CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL: state dump of mapping between block
30	      device number and name
31
32	  The packaged version is compatible with Linux 2.6.38 to 3.16.
