SystemTap mentions (3)

  • What are some tools to create code diagrams/graphs/(static or dynamic) call graphs when analyzing c++ code? Any level of automation would be useful here, but manual editing is also preferred. I see Visual Studio Code Graph but this is an option for Windows mainly. Doxygen, perftools?
    Eclipse seems to have a Callgraph plug-in (for execution traces), although it is based on SystemTap, which is only for Linux. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Valve Did the IMPOSSIBLE... Anti-Cheat on Linux - WAN Show September 24, 2021
    They can use DKMS or their own version of systemtap so not they don't have to release the code. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Frozenbyte are now telling Linux users to use Proton, even for their older games
    Since these are kernel anticheats I don't know how they're going to make it work though. Maybe BE and EAC will ship signed code that Valve lets run outside of the Win32 environment, possibly just as the root user or with their own version of systemtap to get into the kernel.
