This is the definitive guide to Linux software debugging and
performance optimization at both the kernel and application levels. Using
extensive Linux code examples, Steve Best systematically introduces open source
tools and best-practice techniques for delivering bug-free, well-tuned code.
Drawing on his exceptional experience optimizing Linux systems
for IBM, Best covers issues ranging from memory management and I/O to system
processes and kernel bug messages. You’ll walk through real debugging sessions,
discovering the strategies experts use to debug even the most complex
application- and kernel-related problems. You’ll master sophisticated profiling
techniques for identifying and resolving bottlenecks more quickly and learn how
to capture the right data in the event of trouble. Coverage includes

• Bottleneck identification
• Code coverage
• Debuggers: gdb, kgdb, and KDB
• Memory management
• /proc kernel data analysis
• System process monitoring
• Network performance
• Oops bug messages
• Syslog and event logging
• Execution traces
• Profiling kernel behavior
• Cache misses
• User-Mode Linux
• Dynamic probes
• Crash dump analysis
• And more…
  

Linux® Debugging and Performance
Tuning will be indispensable for every developer who needs to supercharge
the Linux kernel and applications, and for every administrator and support
specialist who must resolve Linux reliability or performance issues.
