I wrote a kernel tool for my personnal usage which goal is to keep a record of recent task preemptions and interruptions that appears under linux. Although the record is short (a few minutes only), It can help to analyse scheduling algorithm efficiency and also driver timing issues. The user can access data from user-space, through proc filesystem and analyze it with a graphics tool. Then, since it's alsa availlable within KDB, it can give clues and help for debugging. So far, the tool is not a big deal, but not trivial either. When It is running, the tool doesn't overload the system. And when it is not running, it's just transparent. I would like to share this tool if somebody is interested, but I dont know how to proceed, I mean how to make a contribution an efficient way. Any help/idea/information is welcome.
