== Binary logging ==
Let's try to implement the idea of putting log arguments in binary form into a buffer and flushing one at the end if necessary.
The majority of time spent in sprintf is in converting arguments to strings (e.g. %d). Next goes scanning the format string. At the end the string copying itself goes. If we manage to eliminat at least the first portion, that would be great.
== Log messages structuring ==
CRIU generates tons of messages. The most critical to troubleshooting is the pr_err-s. Need to introduce types of errors to make troubleshooting easier. E.g. we have the guide what to do [[when C/R fails]]. Need to introduce error types into it and print them before the error text. Suggested types of failures are:
* Restore errors
** Resource ID conflict (mostly valid for non-containers case)
*** PID mismatch
*** File with the name we need exists
*** CGroup exists (?)
** Missing item on restore
*** No TCP lock (for non netns case)
*** Missing session leader (--shell-job might help)
*** Required file doesn't exist
* Dump errors
** Unsupported object
*** AIO with events
*** Corked UDP socket
*** Tasks under strace
*** Knots in mount points
* Common errors
** Out of memory
** Access denied / permission denied
