Overview

Kernel Analyzer controls the acquisition of data. When it is running, information is recorded upon task preemptions and/or interruptions, and is directly stored into a Ring Buffer.

Kernel Analyzer is controlled by system calls: either with a tool, or inserting system calls directly in an application. Commands are basically start/pause/resume/stop/config.

The data of the Ring buffer can be retrieved through a Proc file at any time by the user.

There is a KDB interface available debug time, provided KDB is actually installed and activated. The module provides functionnalities to control Kernel Analyzer, and to retrieve datas.

Once the data is retrieved, it can be analyzed with the Java GUI.
