Hi, I submit this instrumentation of the main kernel events using markers to the Linux community as an RFC. This is the instrumentation LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation, at http://ltt.polymtl.ca) uses.
In addition to this, I also have architecture dependent instrumentation for: - traps - system call entry/exit - kernel thread creation - IPC call which I plan to submit a bit later, once these architecture independent core instrumentation patches will have been discussed. The goal here is be be able to tell "what the kernel is doing" so we can : - get execution traces from bug reporters easily. - help userspace developers to understand the interactions of their programs with other processes and with the kernel.
