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 ...
