Hi,
I am encountering a (possible) race condition in my network driver. Using
printk()s to debug is out of the question due to the very high overhead
since the bug only occurs when i send traffic at 100Mbps.
I am looking at other ways to instrument the code, so that the debug info
could be collected in a buffer while I use the driver and then maybe a
userprogram could be used to dump all that data into a file.
What do other kernel hackers use to instrument and profile code?
especially in interrupt context?
TIA.
ciao,
Amit
