RE: Anyone interested in having additional debugging support in NPTL via a tracing facility?

Yes, it would be an excellent and very useful addition.  

We experienced problems with pthreads early on with NPTL and this would have
been very useful to have access at the time.  Debugging multi-threading
problems can be very frustrating when trying to determine if a problem is in
your code, the threading implementation or your misuse/misunderstanding of
the threading model.

I've had some on & off discussions with Ulrich about adding detailed event
tracing support to NPTL for quite a while.  While favoring the idea in
general, Ulrich isn't convinced that people (i.e. you all) have much of a
desire for it.  When I last posted a proposal in this regard
(https://listman.redhat.com/archives/phil-list/2002-December/msg00043.ht
ml) there was only one reply -- obviously not an overwhelming endorsement.
I've done some updates on the original proposal and published it to
