Linux Tracing Technologies Guide
================================

Tracing in the Linux kernel is a powerful mechanism that allows
developers and system administrators to analyze and debug system
behavior. This guide provides documentation on various tracing
frameworks and tools available in the Linux kernel.

Introduction to Tracing
-----------------------

This section provides an overview of Linux tracing mechanisms
and debugging approaches.

Core Tracing Frameworks
-----------------------

The following are the primary tracing frameworks integrated into
the Linux kernel.
