+Linux Tracing Technologies Guide
+================================
+
+Tracing in the Linux kernel is a powerful mechanism that allows
+developers and system administrators to analyze and debug system
+behavior. This guide provides documentation on various tracing
+frameworks and tools available in the Linux kernel.
+
+Introduction to Tracing
+-----------------------
+
+This section provides an overview of Linux tracing mechanisms
+and debugging approaches.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ debugging
+ tracepoints
+ tracepoint-analysis
+ ring-buffer-map
+
+Core Tracing Frameworks
+-----------------------
+
+The following are the primary tracing frameworks integrated into
+the Linux kernel.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ ftrace
+ ftrace-design
+ ftrace-uses
+ kprobes
+ kprobetrace
+ fprobetrace
+ eprobetrace
+ fprobe
+ ring-buffer-design
+
+Event Tracing and Analysis
+--------------------------
+
+A detailed explanation of event tracing mechanisms and their
+applications.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ events
+ events-kmem
+ events-power
+ events-nmi
+ events-msr
+ events-landlock
+ events-pci
+ events-pci-controller
+ boottime-trace
+ histogram
+ histogram-design
+
+Hardware and Performance Tracing
+--------------------------------
+
+This section covers tracing features that monitor hardware
+interactions and system performance.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ intel_th
+ stm
+ sys-t
+ coresight/index
+ rv/index
+ hisi-ptt
+ mmiotrace
+ hwlat_detector
+ osnoise-tracer
+ timerlat-tracer
+
+User-Space Tracing
+------------------
+
+These tools allow tracing user-space applications and
+interactions.
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ user_events
+ uprobetracer
+
+Remote Tracing
+--------------
+
+This section covers the framework to read compatible ring-buffers, written by
+entities outside of the kernel (most likely firmware or hypervisor)
+
+.. toctree::
+ :maxdepth: 1
+
+ remotes
+
+Additional Resources
+--------------------

+For more details, refer to the respective documentation of each
+tracing tool and framework.
