Speakers: Jerome Marchand

Quite often, one encounters an issue where a tracing tool comes in quite handy. It could be for instance a performance issue or a bug with a application that you're using. Linux already offers a wide choice of tracing tools and chance are you've already used one. One of the latest addition in that area is bpftrace.

Bpftrace is high-level dynamic tracing language. It allows easy and safe, yet powerful tracing of existing program without the need to modify them. In this talk, I'll try to show you what can be done with bpftrace and explain why, when and how to use it.
