Marker patch status for 2.6.24

Marker patch status for 2.6.24

[David Smith]

Mathieu,

Because 2.6.24 is at rc3 status, I'm getting a bit worried that
everything systemtap needs to fully use markers isn't going to be in the
final 2.6.24.  I believe at minimum systemtap needs:

- linux-kernel-markers-create-modpost-file.patch (for the
Modules.markers file)

- markers-support-multiple-probes.patch (so that multiple clients can
probe the same marker)

Do you have plans on submitting these soon?  Is there anything I can do
to help?

Thanks.

I've posted markers-support-multiple-probes.patch last week and just got
a response from Christoph. If you can reply to this post showing
SystemTAP's interest for it, it would help.

Once this patch is in, I'll post the
linux-kernel-markers-create-modpost-file.patch.

Mathieu
