Subject: Keeping track of called syscalls in real-time
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 17:48:15 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bda7a828-015e-7009-ce52-bfe885505380@seds.nl> (raw)

Can the kernel keep track of all the system calls that were called by an
application/module in real-time?
I know I can statically use strace, or even gdb, but I am looking for a
solution in real time when the application/module is already running and
the user has no control over it.

I am not sure if a system call needs to go through a sort of wrapper to
get it from the syscall table, which I'm then assuming I can get such
info from there, but I am not sure.

I am looking for hints/options to archive this.

Many thanks
