What is new in KernelShark two
summary
KernelShark 2 rewrites the GUI around a new plugin system and a compact drawing layer that drops per‑pixel work from tens of events to about 15 using binary-search sampling, turning multi‑second redraws on millions of events into smooth zoom and scrolls and letting session reuse with session save/restore. Included plugins: missed events indicators, latency plugin that matches wake and schedule events, event‑field plots, KVM host‑guest time‑sync support (requires trace‑command 3.0), and perf/ESXi input support.
