The patch titled Trace sample has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was trace-sample.patch This patch was dropped because I guess I won't be merging these in their present form The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Trace sample From: "David J. Wilder" <dwilder@xxxxxxxxxx> Add the trace example to samples/.
