-The lttng patch is necessary to have the tracing hooks in the kernel.
+
+The ongoing work had the Linux Kernel Markers integrated in the mainline Linux
+kernel since Linux 2.6.24 and the Tracepoints since 2.6.28. In its current
+state, the lttng patchset is necessary to have the trace clocksource, the
+instrumentation and the LTTng high-speed data extraction mechanism added to the
+kernel.
