usbmon (internal-to-Linux USB traffic sniffer):
documented in Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt
It's a Kconfig option:

#
# USB Monitor configuration
#

config USB_MON
	bool "USB Monitor"
	depends on USB!=n
	default y
	help
	  If you say Y here, a component which captures the USB traffic
	  between peripheral-specific drivers and HC drivers will be built.
	  For more information, see <file:Documentation/usb/usbmon.txt>.

	  This is somewhat experimental at this time, but it should be safe.

	  If unsure, say Y.


There are also hardware sniffers available, e.g.,
