Abstract

A method for tracking a process is disclosed. Requests are received from process threads according to a time order. A request requests a buffer entry operable to record a trace message from a process thread of a process. A first buffer entry is assigned to a first process thread associated with a trace message according to the time order. A second buffer entry is assigned to a second process thread according to the time order subsequent to the assignment of the first buffer entry. The trace message associated with the first process thread is written to the first buffer entry in response to the assignment of the first buffer entry.
