Understanding the Linux Kernel via Ftrace

Ftrace is an internal tracer designed to help out developers and designers of systems to find what is going on inside the kernel. It can be used for debugging or analyzing latencies and performance issues that take place outside of user-space. Although ftrace is typically considered the function tracer, it is really a frame work of several assorted tracing utilities. There's latency tracing to examine what occurs between interrupts disabled and enabled, as well as for preemption and from a time a task is woken to the task is actually scheduled in. One of the most common uses of ftrace is the event tracing. Through out the kernel is hundreds of static event points that can be enabled via the tracefs file system to see what is going on in certain parts of the kernel.

High Fat Cabbage Soup

This is an   excellent ketogenic food. Just a hint of carbohydrates in the single potato that is added.

Ingredients

  • High potassium salt
  • Cannonball Cabbage
  • Sausage
  • Bacon
  • Potato
  • Garlic
  • Green onions
  • Mushrooms
  • Cilantro
  • Olive oil
  • Pork – Tenderloin works well
  • Brocoli
  • Oregano

Use your own tastes to proportion the ingredients.  Cabbage boils down to a lower volume after cooking so you need to load up on it. The soup broth base comes from the fat.  Cabbage in high season will be sweet enough to provide counterpoint and the green flavor. 

Steps

  1. Sautee chopped onion in an open pressure cooker with olive oil.
  2. Add all the rest of the ingredients except the salt to a pressure cooker. 
  3. Add salt after pressure cook is finished to adjust saline levels.  Sausage varies in salt content so after cooking so taste testing for adjustment is a must.

Variants

  • Replace one of the meats with <> pork chops, ribs, chicken etc.  Your replacement should have adequate fat to supply the soup base
