bpftrace is a high-level tracing language for Linux enhanced Berkeley
|
|
Packet Filter (eBPF) available in recent Linux kernels (4.x). bpftrace
|
|
uses LLVM as a backend to compile scripts to BPF-bytecode and makes
|
|
use of BCC for interacting with the Linux BPF system, as well as
|
|
existing Linux tracing capabilities: kernel dynamic tracing (kprobes),
|
|
user-level dynamic tracing (uprobes), and tracepoints. The bpftrace
|
|
language is inspired by awk and C, and predecessor tracers such as
|
|
DTrace and SystemTap. bpftrace was created by Alastair Robertson.
