Profiling and tracing with ptrace, perf and SystemTap
Modern OS and CPUs come with a variety of APIs for monitoring. Ptrace based commands like strace are easy to use but slow. Perf allows lightweight profiling. SystemTap is a powerful toolkit plus DSL to instrument probe points inside the Kernel as well as static SystemTap/DTrace markers in libs and languages like Java, PHP, and Python. In my talk I'll show and compare various low and high level tools as well as visualization (e.g. flame graphs).
