It is designed for embedded boards based devices containing raw flash chips. Flashmon is a kernel module and stands for "flash monitor". It traces flash I/O by placing kernel probes at the NAND driver level. It allows tracing at runtime the 3 main flash operations: page reads / writes and block erasures. Flashmon is (1) generic as it was successfully tested on the three most widely used flash file systems that are JFFS2, UBIFS and YAFFS, and several NAND chip models. Moreover, it is (2) non intrusive, (3) has a controllable memory footprint, and (4) exhibits a low overhead (<6%) on the traced system. Finally, it...
