In the past, a lot of effort has been invested in high performance kernel tracing tools, but now the focus of the tracing community seems to be shifting over toefficient user space application tracing. By providing joint kernel and user space tracing, developers now have deeper insights into their applications. Furthermore, system administrators can now put in place a new way to monitor and debug systems using a low intrusiveness tracing system, LTTng.
This presentation explains how LTTng can be used as a powerful development and debugging tool for user space applications taking advantage of this year's exciting new features such as network streaming and snapshots. It demonstrates how open source developers and hackers can use LTTng kernel and user space tracers to create powerful logging systems and easier debugging, thus greatly improving development and maintainability of their project(s).
Finally, this talk concludes with the future work we will be doing on LTTng, and how the community can help with improving the project from feedback to very valuable contributions.

After this presentation, the Linux kernel will have gained support for a previously unsupported USB device (without having to write any code).

This talk will show you how to customize GDB for your application and your debugging needs. We'll go into depth about pretty printing, stack trace filtering, and writing new commands; and will also discuss writing GUIs and other tools inside GDB. Finally, we'll cover other interesting and useful GDB projects.

DESCRIPTION:Despite a decade of innovative development, and despite improvements in battery technology, a modern smartphone needs recharging far more often than its turn-of-the-century predecessor. Yet the blame cannot be laid at the door of hardware engineers; the problem lies in the software. Fortunately free and open source technology is racing to the rescue. With this talk we aim to promote energy efficiency to a first class software design goal.
