RTLA Requests and TODOs for Kernel Tracing Infrastructure - Linux Plumbers Conference

Explore the future of real-time Linux analysis tools in this 21-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Delve into the limitations and potential improvements for the RTLA suite, which relies on kernel tracing infrastructure. Discover proposed enhancements for both kernel and library components, including the ability to create histograms with ftrace events, enable multiple tracers simultaneously, and record trace-cmd.dat files. Learn about plans for user-space support in osnoise, the development of an execution time tracer, and the integration of tracers with perf counters. Gain insights into how these advancements could significantly improve the functionality and performance of real-time Linux analysis tools.
