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 Return of the Frame Pointers
Sometimes debuggers and profilers are obviously broken, sometimes it's subtle and hard to spot. From my flame graphs page: (Click for original SVG.) This is pretty common and usually goes unnoticed as the flame graph looks ok at first glance. But there are 15% of samples on the left, above "[unknown]", that are in the wrong place and missing frames. The problem is that this system has a default li

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
