I'm not sure I understand your question, but if there is something in 
the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file that looks interesting you can 
always get it out by e g "cat trace > /tmp/trace.txt", then "chmod 666 
/tmp/trace.txt" or something like that [1]. Or is your problem that the 
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file is empty?

Only almost?
Anyway, that's kind of why I've losing faith in lowlatency personally - 
I have yet to see someone showing me that it actually performs better 
than the generic kernel.
