Boottrace is a facility for capturing trace events during boot and shutdown. This includes kernel initialization, as well as rc. It has been used by NetApp internally for several years, for catching and diagnosing slow devices or subsystems. It is driven from userspace by sysctl interface, and the output is a human-readable log of events (kern.boottrace.log). This commit adds the core boottrace functionality implementing these interfaces. Adding the trace annotations themselves to kernel and userland will happen in follow-up commits. A future commit will also add a boottrace(4) man page. For now, boottrace is unconditionally compiled into the kernel but disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting the kern.boottrace.enabled tunable to 1 in loader.conf(5). There is an existing boot-time event tracing facility, which can be compiled into the kernel with 'options TSLOG'. While there is some functional overlap between this and boottrace, they are distinct. TSLOG is suitable for generating detailed timing information and flamegraphs, and has been used to great success by cperciva@ to diagnose and reduce the overall system boot time. Boottrace aims to more quickly provide an overview of timing and resource usage of the boot (and shutdown) process to a sysadmin who requires this knowledge. Sponsored by: NetApp, Inc.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
