I split out tools/lib/traceevent from the kernel tree using "git subtree", which recreates all the commits of a directory and makes that directory a stand alone. I then updated the Makefiles, and copied over some of the header files used to build the library. I pushed this up to:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git/ My hope is that this will now be the source of all updates to the libtraceevent library that can be used as a stand alone package that both perf and tracecmd can use. I would also like powertop and rasdaemon to use this as well. -- Steve
