Please don't base distributions on -rc tags. They are not meant for this.

We always integrate support for newer kernel versions instrumentation back
into our current stable release. So as soon as 5.2 final comes out, we will
release a 2.10.x version including support for it in lttng-modules.

The current 2.10.10 has commits to support the currently known 5.2-rc
instrumentation changes.

Thanks,

Mathieu

I'm one of the people who need to use lttng-modules on rc kernel.

Seems v2.10.10 does not contains the 7 needed patches in my v1 for kernel v5.0+.

You're aware that the commit ID changes when we cherry-pick
a commit right ?

Please double-check with the commit names...

If so, please use a git based recipe building the HEAD of the latest released
stable branch (stable-2.10 currently since 2.11 is in currently in the RC
stage). If you have problem, report them on our mailing list [1] or our bug
tracker [2]. We have extensive CI jobs for lttng-modules against the vanilla
kernel [3] and other usual suspects [4]. We normally catch those problems
quite quickly. Keep in mind that in no way should a production image be built
with a non tagged release.

As for the oe-core recipe, please send us a quick email to let us know, patch
level releases are cheap. Keep in mind that we are chasing a moving target
here.

To add to Mathieu statement, not only do we integrate support for newer kernels into
the current stable branch but also in all the supported stable branch when
possible. The supported stable release are normally the 3 latest minor-level releases.
Currently this set is : 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 .

3 -> 2 latest release.

Did something go wrong with that for 5.1?

This discussion started with patches on top of 2.10.9 for 5.1 support.
If the missing release was just a one-time problem for 5.1,
then the whole problem is usually confined to -rc kernels.

Only failure to do a timely release on my end, sorry about it. Don't
hesitate to ping me when this happens. The patches were cherry-picked
into the stable-2.10 branch quickly after 5.1 was released (or while in
5.1-rc cycle), but Jonathan reminded me just yesterday that I was overdue
for a release.

Indeed, I'll try to release stable tags more proactively after a kernel
version comes out in the future.

Thanks,

Mathieu
