Description

Ftrace is a Linux tracing framework that allows developers and system administrators to trace and monitor the behavior of the Linux kernel. It is mostly used for debugging and performance analysis, as it allows developers to quickly identify and trace the source of any problems or bottlenecks. Ftrace is highly extensible and can be used to trace anything from low-level kernel functions to user-space applications. It can be used to trace I/O operations, system calls, kernel functions, as well as scheduling and context switching of tasks. Ftrace also provides a set of tools for visualization and analysis of trace data, including time-based graphs and statistics.
