Thanks Mathieu. This was my fault .. I couldn't apply your patch (kept getting failures on hunks 2-8 for some reason) so I hand patched the file and in doing so, transposed a rcu unlock with an rcu lock (just as you suspected). So, after correcting that, all is well and I'm able to perform tracing under 2.6.33.2 RT. Thanks Much!

I tried building a lttng-enabled -rt tree here (x86 64 box), and it works (I can start/stop tracing and see the trace in lttv). Note that I simply discarded the conflicting instrumentation patches for this quick test. I'm pretty sure an error could have been inserted in async_wakeup() within ltt-tracer.c. Can you paste the code you have ? Unbalanced rcu read lock/unlock could be causing this.

I'm no longer getting the stack dumps in /var/log/messages and I still have to hard reboot the system as soft reboot doesn't work. > > JP -- This is an e-mail from General Dynamics Robotic Systems.
