Hi Mathieu

I'd like to add some more detail.  I now run our app using this pattern:

LD_PRELOAD=liblttng-ust-cyg-profile.so ./app

On importing the trace into TraceCompass I see:

"null analysis for LTTng-UST CallStack"

Could the reason be the lttng commands I am using to capture UST and
Kernel events:

lttng enable-event --userspace 'lttng_ust_tracef:*'
lttng enable-channel --kernel --session app_trace kernel_channel
lttng enable-event --kernel --all --channel kernel_channel --session app_trace

Indeed, You will also need to enable something like this:

lttng enable-event --userspace 'lttng_ust_cyg_profile:*'

See "man 3 lttng-ust-cyg-profile" for details.

Thanks,

Mathieu


Best regards
David

Hi Mathieu

Any idea what I am doing wrong please?

AFAIK, the "LD_PRELOAD" environment variable is cleared by
sudo when running its child process for security purposes.

Thanks for your answer, that does help. However, I have now adjusted
the code so that sudo is not required, but when I import the trace the
UST-CallStacks are still strikethrough.

Any thoughts why this is happening?

I don't see any runtime errors whether or not I specify the prefix:

LD_PRELOAD=liblttng-ust-cyg-profile.so

Is that expected?

Best regards, David
