[Lpc-announce] Tracing Microconference Accepted into 2016 Linux Plumbers Conference

[Jake Edge]

After taking a break in 2015, Tracing is back at Plumbers this year!
Tracing is heavily used throughout the Linux ecosystem, and provides an
essential method for extracting information about the underlying code
that is running on the system.  Although tracing is simple in concept,
effective usage and implementation can be quite involved.

Topics proposed for this year's event include new features in the BPF
compiler collection [1], perf [2], and ftrace [3]; visualization
frameworks; large-scale tracing and distributed debugging; always-on
analytics and monitoring; do-it-yourself tracing tools; and, last but
not least, a kernel-tracing wishlist.

We hope to see you there [4]!

LPC [5] will be held November 2-4 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, US.
