I wrote an ftrace toolkit, [perf-tools], and the article [Ftrace: the hidden light switch]. - **perf**: since 2009, this started as a PMC profiler but can do tracing now as well, usually in a dump-and-post-process style. Appliance manufacturers hire kernel engineers to develop custom features, including storage appliances.
