LTTng-UST, the Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation Userspace Tracer, is a low-overhead application tracer. The library "liblttng-ust" enables tracing of applications and libraries. * New and noteworthy in these releases: Specific to 2.13.7, a fix for misaligned urcu reader accesses was introduced. It only applies to the lttng-ust 2.13 branch because it implements its own "lttng-ust-urcu" flavor. Also specific to 2.13.7, "sync" vs "unsync" enablers are introduced to eliminate an O(n*m) algorithm: Eliminate iteration over unmodified enablers when synchronizing the enablers vs event state. The intent is to turn a O(m*n) algorithm (m = number of enablers, n = number of event probes) into a O(n) when enabling many additional events when tracing is active. Specifically in 2.12.9, the rfork() wrapper is fixed: it was not passing the flags arguments. This was fixed in a larger commit in the master and stable-2.13 branches. Both stable branches include: - a build system fix for documentation examples with old autoconf when used with a relative path. - a clang warning fix around volatile qualifier on function pointers. - Python agent uplift to adapt to modern python (>= 3.10), - a possible race condition in the ustfork helper.
