+Warning: This is an experimental feature known to cause deadlocks when the

If an application that uses liblttng-ust.so becomes part of a session,
information about its currently loaded shared objects will be traced to the
session at session-enable time. To record this information, the following event
.IP "ust_baddr_statedump:soinfo"
This event is used to trace a currently loaded shared object. The base address
(where the dynamic linker has placed the shared object) is recorded in the
-baddr-field. The path to the shared object gets recorded in the sopath-field
-(as string). The file size of the loaded object (in bytes) is recorded to the
-size-field and its time of last modification (in seconds since Epoch) is
-recorded in the mtime-field.
-.PP
-If the event above is enabled, a series of ust_baddr_statedump:soinfo events is
-recorded at session-enable time, that represents the state of currently loaded
-shared objects (of the traced application). If this information gets combined

-are relevant for symbol and linenumber-lookup are traced by LTTng.
