I’m running the Tracing Microconference at Linux Plumbers. If there’s an issue you would like to discuss there, please submit a MC topic. https://lpc.events/blog/current/index.php/2023/08/17/tracing-mc-cfp/

I had to attend this talk

Obligatory selfie just before I started my talk (many more people came in afterwards)

The most appropriate quote from the article: "There followed an extended and sometimes heated discussion on the details that, in your editor's opinion, is not really worth reproducing here."

This would be really funny if it wasn't so true!

I do not recommend git remote update on an airplane wifi!

Happy birthday to make localmodconfig ! It is now 14 years old. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=03fa25da8335a942161a8070b3298cfd4edf9b6a

My obligatory selfie for my OSPM talk.

I’m debugging something that is causing a lockup, where I only get a single line out on the crash (no stackdump, nada!). Frustrated, I thought about slapping printk()’s all over the place, and then thought to myself. Hmm, it would be much nicer to just hook function tracing to printk….

Coming soon: ftrace_printk!

Libtraceevent 1.7.2 is released with minor updates.

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

There’s no hell like trying to make a project build with autoconf - automake written in 2009 work with today’s autoconf - automake.

Today is the anniversary of the public announcement of streamline_config.pl. What eventually became “make localmodconfig” https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Pine.LNX.4.58.0503110338230.19798@localhost.localdomain/
