Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)上编译带utrace补丁的内核
首先准备linux内核编译环境：
sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile kernel-wedge kernel-package
sudo apt-get build-dep linux
sudo apt-get install git-core libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev
检出带有utrace补丁的官方内核代码，并生成对应Ubuntu当前版本内核（3.0）的补丁：
git clone https://github.com/utrace/linux.git utrace-linux-git
cd utrace-linux-git/
git checkout -b utrace-3.0 origin/utrace-3.0
git diff v3.0 > /tmp/utrace.patch
获得Ubuntu定制内核代码，并打上utrace补丁
sudo apt-get install linux-source
tar xjf /usr/src/linux-source-3.0.0.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-3.0.0/
patch -p1 < /tmp/utrace.patch
输出为：

 注意 kernel/fork.c 的补丁失败了，看看 kernel/fork.c.rej：

 EXPORT_SYMBOL(free_task);                                                      
修改 kernel/fork.c，在 free_task 函数的 ftrace_graph_exit_task(tsk); 之后手工加上这行 tracehook_free_task 调用即可。

编译新的内核，使用当前系统内核的配置参数作为基准，开启 utrace 补丁提供的 CONFIG_UTRACE 功能即可：
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
make oldconfig ，出现如下提示时回答 y：Infrastructure for tracing and debugging user processes (UTRACE) [N/y/?] (NEW) 
make-kpkg clean
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=9 ，这里指定编译内核时的并发任务数，设置为核数+1即可
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-utrace binary-arch
编译完成后，在 linux-source-3.0.0/ 的上级目录会生成 linux-headers/image/debug-symbol 的 deb 安装包，直接用 sudo dpkg -i *.deb 安装即可。重启后选择新内核进入即可用 systemtap 进行用户态程序跟踪。
