Demonstrations of threadsnoop, the Linux BCC/eBPF version.


Tracing new threads via phtread_create():

# ./threadsnoop

The output shows a dockerd process creating several threads with the start
routine threadentry(), and docker-containe (truncated) and systemd-journal
also starting threads: in their cases, the function had no symbol information
available, so their addresses are printed in hex.
