The problem is to cover all interesting instrumentation mixes efficiently. I think it could be a good enough list : Fprobes only Dynamic + Fprobes (supports dynamic probes and uses fprobes for non probable code) Dynamic only Printk only Which would be expressed in the following menu : choice Marker behavior * Inactive * Dynamic probes * Function probes (Fprobes) * Dynamic probes complemented with Fprobes * Printk if selected "Dynamic probes" or "Dynamic probes complemented with Fprobes" choice2 Dynamic probes behavior * Kprobes * Jprobes Any thoughts ?
