Following on from the successful Tracing Microconference last year, we’re pleased to announce there will be a follow on at Plumbers in Los Angeles this year.

The agenda for this year will not focus only on tracing but also will include several topics around eBPF. As eBPF now interacts with tracing and there is still a lot of work to accomplish, such as building an infrastructure around the current tools to compile and utilize eBPF within the tracing framework. Topics outside of eBPF will include enhancing uprobes and tracing virtualize and layered environments. Of particular interest is new techniques to improve kernel to user space tracing integration. This includes usage of uftrace and better symbol resolution of user space addresses from within the kernel. Additionally there will be a discussion on challenges of real world use cases by non-kernel engineers.

For more details on this, please see this microconference’s wiki page.

We hope to see you there!
