Developed enhanced observability features for the s390 architecture in the geerlingguy/linux repository, focusing on MMIO Trace Support. Leveraged expertise in kernel development and system architecture to enable tracing of MMIO accesses by activating ARCH_HAVE_TRACE_MMIO_ACCESS through the s390 Kconfig, utilizing the C programming language. Built upon existing infrastructure for register read and write tracing, extending it to provide deeper visibility into MMIO activity. This work addressed the need for improved debugging and performance analysis on s390 systems, strengthening platform-specific troubleshooting capabilities and laying the foundation for broader trace-driven insights across architectures. No major bug fixes were documented.
