<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">The complexity of systems is growing rapidly, multi-core introduces<br>
notoriously difficult-to-find bugs, hypervisors, virtual machines,<br>
middleware and cloud technologies create extra layers, heterogeneous<br>
systems are now common in embedded systems, the Internet of Things<br>
requires interactions between different types of devices, etc. The<br>
increased complexity is creating tricky problems requiring a significant<br>
amount of investigation with programs that are not typically created to<br>
be diagnosed together, e.g. open source components, libraries, in house<br>
code, proprietary third party, etc. With open source adoption we now<br>
have the opportunity to create a de-facto widely used tracing and<br>
monitoring infrastructure. We would like to improve interoperability<br>
between those tools, as well as improve Linux-based tracing, profiling,<br>
logging, and monitoring features. We would like to accelerate this<br>
development by making it easier to work together on common pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
