Message

This patchset adds support for tracing guest kernels to trace-cmd.

Changes in v4:
 - detect and use splice(2) on vsock sockets if possible
 - switch port numbers to unsigned int
 - trace-cmd record --date flag is now set for all guests if provided by the user
 - removed grow_cap and exponential buffer size growth

Changes in v3:
 - addressed Steven's feedback
 - detect and disable guest tracing if <linux/vm_sockets.h> is not available
 - the --date flag is now treated as global for all guest instances
 - fixed a bug that caused --date to be ignored for host tracing data when tracing guests

Changes in v2:
 - rebased on top of protocol V3
 - fixed system clock timestamps with the --date flag

Slavomir Kaslev (6):
