i want visualize what all the stuffs happening inside the Linux kernel
when this program is executed


#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("Test kernel");  <-- here i want know what are all the system
calls and the kernel data structure kernel is used by the kernel. Is
it possible to put break points here and can we see what are the
things happening inside the kernel when printf is executed

}


is it possible to put break points in side the my program using the
system tap i want to visualize what are system calls and kernel data
structure used by particular statement.

as above stated test.c program i what see what is happening inside the
kernel when printf("Test Kernel"); is executed .This because when the
my program become large it will show so many information which may not
be use full to me and very difficult to get the particular
information.Is there any facilities like step in and step out in
system tap



thank you in advance
waiting great response
