Riassunto

A unique resource that shows Linux kernel AND Linux application programmers how to write bug-free code that's optimized for performance.

 

1) Debugging techniques for Linux applications and the kernel

2) Performance tuning techniques for Linux application and the kernel.

3) Sample programs that show how debugging tools can find programming errors.

4) Sample programs that show how profiling tools can show which routines applications spend the most time in.

5) Key features that can be set up in the kernel to capture data once a problem occurs.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Learn Linux debugging and optimizationat kernel and application levelshands-on!

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.
