Analyzing Pipe Capacity in Linux Splice with perf

When debugging kernel-level issues, traditional approaches like eBPF might not be available on older kernel versions. In such cases, perf probe provides a practical alternative for tracing kernel functions without writing custom kernel modules. Before adding probes, identify available symbols through /proc/kallsyms. For instance, to trace splic ...

Resolving Unresolved Function Names (??()) in GDB Stack Traces

When GDB displays function names as ??() in stack traces, it indicates that the function names cannot be resolved. This typically occurs due to several reasons: Missing Symbol Table Information: If the executable lacks symbol table information or GDB fails to load it, function names and code locations become unavailable. This can happen if deb ...
