lkp-folks, can I please get these traces run and sent to me? I don't
have the time or patience to try to get aim7 running on my machines
- the build is full of hard-coded paths and libraries that aren't
provided by modern distros (e.g. it requires a static libaio.a!) and
it fails at the configure stage complaining that:

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Which is a complete load of BS.

Hence I can't make progress until I have some way of understanding
what the IO pattern is that is generating the profile being
measured. So far I'm unable to do that with any of the tools I been
trying, hence I need the traces to work out what I'm missing...

Cheers,

Dave.
