+\begin{alertblock}{What is trace-cmd?}
+trace-cmd is a commandline utility for controlling and analysing kernel traces.
+\end{alertblock}
+\end{frame}

+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\frametitle{trace-cmd: Installation}
+\begin{verbatim}
+$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/\
+                  kernel/git/rostedt/trace-cmd.git
+$ cd trace-cmd
+# On Debian system
+$ apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev
+$ make && make gui
+$ make install && make install_gui
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}

+\begin{frame}[fragile]
+\small
+\frametitle{trace-cmd: Usage}
+\begin{verbatim}
+$ trace-cmd 
+[...]
+record - record a trace into a trace.dat file
+start - start tracing without recording into a file
+extract - extract a trace from the kernel
+stop - stop the kernel from recording trace data
+reset - disable all kernel tracing / clear trace buffers
+report - read out the trace stored in a trace.dat file
+split - parse a trace.dat file into smaller file(s)
+listen - listen on a network socket for trace clients
+list - list the available events, plugins or options
+restore - restore a crashed record
+stack - output, enable or disable kernel stack tracing
+\end{verbatim}
+\end{frame}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]

+\frametitle{trace-cmd: Usage}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item trace-cmd record generates a file called trace.dat. This can be overridden by
+the -o option
+\item trace-cmd report uses the -i option for specifying an input file
