LTTng 2.0 kernel modules build against a vanilla or distribution kernel, without
need for additional patches. Other features:

-Please note that the LTTng-UST 2.0 (user-space tracing counterpart of LTTng 2.0)
-is still in active development and not released yet.

So far, it has been tested on vanilla Linux kernels 2.6.38, 2.6.39 and 3.0 (on
x86 32/64-bit, and powerpc 32-bit at the moment, build tested on ARM). It should
work fine with newer kernels and other architectures, but expect build issues
0.x patchset, but the lttng-modules 2.0 replace the lttng-modules 0.x, so both
tracers cannot be installed at the same time for a given kernel version.
+LTTng-modules depends on having kallsyms enabled in the kernel it is
+built against. Ideally, if you want to have system call tracing, the
+"Trace Syscalls" feature should be enabled too.

Each PMU counter has its zero value set when it is attached to a context with
