Linux Tracing Technologies Guide¶
Tracing in the Linux kernel is a powerful mechanism that allows developers and system administrators to analyze and debug system behavior. This guide provides documentation on various tracing frameworks and tools available in the Linux kernel.
Introduction to Tracing¶
This section provides an overview of Linux tracing mechanisms and debugging approaches.
Core Tracing Frameworks¶
The following are the primary tracing frameworks integrated into the Linux kernel.
Event Tracing and Analysis¶
A detailed explanation of event tracing mechanisms and their applications.
Hardware and Performance Tracing¶
This section covers tracing features that monitor hardware interactions and system performance.
User-Space Tracing¶
These tools allow tracing user-space applications and interactions.
Remote Tracing¶
This section covers the framework to read compatible ring-buffers, written by entities outside of the kernel (most likely firmware or hypervisor)
Additional Resources¶
