---------{ tracing mini-HOWTO }-------------->

pick up the latest latency tracer patch from:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/private/latency-tracer-v2.6.24-rc2-git5-combo.patch

apply it and enable CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACING, then pick up trace-cmd.c:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/private/trace-cmd.c

to trace what the system is doing for 1 second, do something like this:

  ./trace-cmd sleep 1 > trace.txt

If everything goes well then trace.txt should contain a pretty large trace 
of all the stuff the kernel was during in that 1 second.

if it's an SMP box then first do:

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/trace_all_cpus

to get a global trace. Let me know if something doesnt work with this 
scheme.
