Mathieu reported that the LTTNG modules are broken as of 4.10-rc1 due to the removal of the cpu hotplug notifiers. Usually I don't care much about out of tree modules, but LTTNG is widely used in distros. There are two ways to solve that: 1) Reserve a hotplug state for LTTNG 2) Add a dynamic range for the prepare states. While #1 is the simplest solution, #2 is the proper one as we can convert in tree users, which do not care about ordering, to the dynamic range as well. Add a dynamic range which allows LTTNG to request states in the prepare stage.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
