Linux Crisis Tools
(This is based on Table 4.1 "Linux Crisis Tools" in SysPerf 2.) Some longer notes: [1] bcc and bpftrace have many overlapping tools: the bcc ones are more capable (e.g., CLI options), and the bpftrace ones can be edited on the fly. But that's not to say that one is better or faster than the other: They emit the same BPF bytecode and are equally fast once running. Also note that bcc is evolving and

The PMCs of EC2: Measuring IPC
What's so special about these seven architectural PMCs? They give you a good overview of key CPU behavior, sure. But Intel have also chosen them as a golden set, to be highlighted first in the PMC manual and their presence exposed via the CPUID instruction. Note that the Intel mnemonic for LLC here is "longest latency cache", but this is also known as "last level cache" or "level 3 cache" (assumin

BPF Theremin, Tetris, and Typewriters
For my AWS re:Invent talk on BPF Performance Analysis at Netflix, I began with a demo of "BPF superpowers" (aka eBPF). The video is on youtube and the demo starts at 0:50 (the slides are here or as a PDF): I'm demonstrating a tool I developed to turn my laptop's wifi signal strength into audio (someone described this as a BPF theremin.) I first developed it as this bpftrace one-liner: bpftrace -e

Where has my disk space gone? Flame graphs for file systems
Where has my disk space gone? Flame graphs for file systems 05 Feb 2017 My laptop was recently running low on available disk space, and it was a mystery as to why. I have different tools to explore the file system, including running the "find / -ls" command from a terminal, but they can be time consuming to use. I wanted a big picture view of space by directories, subdirectories, and so on. I've c
Linux 4.9's Efficient BPF-based Profiler
BPF-optimized profiling arrived in Linux 4.9-rc1 (patchset), allowing the kernel to profile via timed sampling and summarize stack traces. Here's how I explained it recently in a talk alongside other prior perf methods for CPU flame graph generation: Linux 4.9 skips needing the perf.data file entirely, and its associated overheads. I wrote about this as a missing BPF feature in March. It is now do
