Kernel Tracing With LTTng On Ubuntu Maverick

Posted by kdawson on from the truth-of-kernel dept.

francis-giraldeau writes "Linux Tracing Toolkit (LTTng) provides high-performance kernel tracing for Linux. This is the killer app for system level debugging and performance tuning. It's now easier than ever to install, with packages released for Ubuntu Maverick. The short introduction to kernel tracing shows how to interpret a simple kernel trace and relate it to strace. I would like to ask Slashdot readers what they would expect as features for a kernel tracing analysis tool, because I'm starting my PhD on this topic and looking for ideas. Also, I wonder why LTTng is not mainline yet. Will Linus Torvalds see the light in 2011?"

    AKA Windows, with 90% market share for a reason, unlike Lolnux which has less market share than iOS.

    Have you considered cunnilingus? Maybe a little of that on Linus's vulvae. If he doesn't see the light, then it might be time to pull out the Chewbacca dildos.
