Subject: Fix: add-context cannot be performed after a session has been started
X-Git-Tag: v2.9.8~8
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3dd2c2c6d9e1af9e002267773915d5029b14d17e;p=lttng-tools.git

Fix: add-context cannot be performed after a session has been started

The following scenario lead to a corrupted trace/metadata layout problem:
  - lttng create test
  - lttng enable-channel -u test
  - lttng enable-event -u -a -c test
  - lttng start
  - ./instrumented-application
  - lttng stop
  - lttng add-context -u -t procname -c test
  - lttng start
  - ./instrumented-application
  - lttng stop
  - lttng view

Babeltrace 1.5.x will fail with:

[error] Unexpected end of packet. Either the trace data stream is corrupted or metadata description does not match data layout.
[error] Reading event failed.
Error printing trace.
