Linux Plumbers Tracing/Perf events Microconference - abstract deadline tomorrow

[Ian Rogers]

Hi,

There will be microconference at LPC on tracing and perf events:
https://lpc.events/event/18/abstracts/1778/

Potential topics include:
 - Feedback about the tracing/perf subsystems overall (e.g. how can
people help the maintainers).
 - Reboot persistent in-memory tracing buffers, this would make ftrace
a very powerful debugging and performance analysis tool for kexec and
could also be used for post crash debugging.
 - Dynamic change of ftrace events to improve symbolic printing.
 - Userspace instrumentation (libside), including discussion of its
impacts on the User events ABI.
 - Collect state dump events from kernel drivers (e.g. dump wifi
interfaces configuration at a given point in time through trace
buffers).
 - Current work implementing performance monitoring in the kernel,
 - User land profiling and analysis tools using the perf event API,
 - Improving the kernel perf event and PMU APIs,
 - Interaction between perf events and subsystems like cgroups, kvm,
drm, bpf, etc.,
 - Improving the perf tool and its interfaces in particular w.r.t. to
scalability of the tool,
 - Implementation of new perf features and tools using eBPF, like the
ones in tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/.
 - Further use of type information to augment the perf tools,
 - Novel uses of perf events for debugging and correctness,
 - New challenges in performance monitoring for the Linux kernel,
 - Regression testing/CI integration for the perf kernel
infrastructure and tools,
 - Improving documentation,
 - Security aspects of using tracing/perf tools,

Abstract submissions happen through the website (you don't need a full
presentation):
https://lpc.events/event/18/abstracts/#submit-abstract

With the deadline being tomorrow July 12th.

Thanks,
Ian
