1UST base address statedump test
2-------------------------------
3
4This test verifies that the tracing of base address statedump works
5properly. When an application traced with LTTng UST registers to the
6session daemon, it should produce a statedump, delimited by `start`
7and `end` events. Between those events, the base addresses of the
8executable and all the shared objects it has loaded are dumped, along
9with extra debug information such as build id or debug link if it
10exists.

12DESCRIPTION
13-----------
14
15The test application simply sleeps for one second to ensure the
16statedump has the time to complete fully, and defines a single
17userspace tracepoint. The statedump events should be generated when
18the application registers with the sessiond. The application is
19compiled with debug information, which is then copied into a separate
20`prog.debug` file, and a debug link section is added to the original
21`prog` executable, now stripped of debug information. This ensures
22that `lttng_ust_statedump:debug_link` event will be produced. The
db4e2b3e 23events `start`, `bin_info`, `build_id`, and `end` from the same provider
