Hi Christian. In addition to answering Subrata's questions below, please provide a URL so that we can take a look at the testcase and kernel patch you are proposing for inclusion in ltp/realtime. Subrata, is there any precedent for including tests that require a custom kernel patch to run? o is the patch out of tree? o how will the patch be maintained? o can the same tracing not be accomplished with existing mechanisms? i.e. ftrace?
