GDB Tracepoints
GDB and tracepoint debugging
Tracepoint debugging allows a developer to observe a program as it runs with minimal impact on its real-time behavior.
Jim's work, building on the Linux kprobes facility and GDB's existing tracepoint support, allows GDB to debug the Linux kernel it is running under, using source-level expressions and source code locations.
