Steven Rostedt
Steven Rostedt is one of the original developers of the PREEMPT_RT patch. He started working on it back in 2004 along with Ingo Molnar and Thomas Gleixner. He’s now the maintainer of the PREEMPT_RT stable releases. Using knowledge from his own kernel tracer while porting the PREEMPT_RT patch’s “latency tracer” to the mainline Linux kernel, it became what is now known as Ftrace (the official tracer of the Linux kernel). Steven continues to develop and maintain ftrace while also adding other nifty features to Linux. He created ktest.pl that allows automation of running kernel compiles, booting and calling tests. He is also the author of “make localmodconfig” that strips out modules from the kernel config file that are not being used by the system.
