Process Tracing Projects

Projects

• Traceboot: Precise and lightweight tracing for boot and shell scripts
  • https://lobste.rs/s/fl7ly9/traceboot_precise_lightweight_tracing
  • Bootchart but lighter and more precise. - I remember this bootchart Debian project from many years ago?
  • Relies on ftrace events to monitor everything needed while incurring a very low overhead. It has a microsecond-precision and doesn't affect the workload being measured by more than a few percents.
