Forgive my English.

I copied the LinuxKernelDebugHelper code to reproduce the problem

How to solve it ?

Hi,

These errors come from the recently introduced Live Tracing engine that indeed was not tested with the older kernels (it works just fine with the recent 5.x versions though).

We have updated VisualKernel to automatically detect it and turn off the tracing engine if it detects an incompatible kernel. Please try this build: VisualKernel-4.0.101.2361.msi

If you would like to use Live Tracing on an older kernel, we can gladly backport it for you as long as you purchase a Standard VisualKernel license. If you would like to evaluate Live Tracing before purchasing, you can try it out on a more recent 5.x kernel (stock kernels coming with most Linux distros will work just fine).

thaks for your kind reply

now,I’m working in kernel5.x

this  is a very nice tool,I would recommend this tool to my friends
