+Subject: LTTng instrumentation - ipv4
+
+Original patch header:
+ LTTng instrumentation - ipv4
+
+ Keep track of interface up/down for ipv4. Allows to keep track of interface
+ address changes in a trace.
+
+ Those tracepoints are used by LTTng.
+
+ About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to markers),
+ even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by Hideo Aoki on ia64
+ show no regression. His test case was using hackbench on a kernel where
+ scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code scheduler code) was added.
+ See the "Tracepoints" patch header for performance result detail.
