Hi Daniel,

Thanks for doing this. Hopefully I'll get some time to try it out.

Anyway, as for the libtraceevent-dynamic-list, it was brought over from the
kernel tools/lib directory. I guess it is needed for the plugins to work
properly, although I have not had issues with it.

But if you want to know more, see commit e3d09ec8126fe ("tools lib
traceevent: Export dynamic symbols used by traceevent plugins") in the
Linux kernel source.
