ftrace and related functionality.
Note that there is a difference between "look up the call stack"
and "trace the flow of execution". Consider the following code:
int a ( print("a") } ;
int b { print("b") } ;
int c ( a(); b(); };
int d { c(); b() };
If you print the call stack in a(), you'll get "a" "c" "d".
If you trace the flow, you get d c a b b (plus some returns scattered
in between.
The difference is subtle, but often important. If you're trying to
figure out how it works, you probably want to trace the flow. If you're
trying to figure out how the code *got* to function foobar(), you're
looking at a stack trace.
Also, being familiar with the RFCs that define TCP is helpful. In
particular, the Linux TCP stack will make close to zero sense unless
you're familiar with the state machine defined in RFC793.
