BSDTVNew BSDCan Video Posted:Hardware-accelerated program tracing on FreeBSD By Bojan Novković<a href="https://youtu.be/NrBGw8N4qL4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/NrBGw8N4qL4</a>Hardware tracing facilities are designed to capture various metrics and information about software execution with a minimal performance overhead, making them a valuable tool for performance analyses and debugging. FreeBSD recently gained a new in-kernel framework for hardware-accelerated tracing technologies (hwt(8) [1]) with support for ARM64 and Intel CPUs.This talk will cover the work that went into adding support for Intel's Processor Trace technology in hwt(8). We'll start by covering several key concepts related to hardware-accelerated tracing and use them to explore the architecture of FreeBSD's hwt(8) framework. We'll then move on to a case study of Intel Processor Trace technology, giving a brief overview of its features before diving into key implementation details. The talk will also include a short demo of hwt(8)'s features on the Intel platform.<a href="https://bsd.network/tags/runbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#runbsd</a> <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freebsd</a> <a href="https://bsd.network/@bsdcan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bsdcan</a>
