Kernel space: no shortage of tracing options
,----[ Quote ]
| Three weeks ago, LWN looked at the renewed interest in dynamic tracing, with
| an emphasis on SystemTap. Tracing is a perennial presence on end-user
| wishlists; it remains a handy tool for companies like Sun Microsystems, which
| wish to show that their offerings (Solaris, for example) are superior to
| Linux. It is not surprising that there is a lot of interest in tracing
| implementations for Linux; the main surprise is that, after all this time,
| Linux still does not have a top-quality answer to DTrace - though, arguably,
| Linux had a working tracing mechanism long before DTrace made its appearance.

Apple cripples Sun's open source jewel

| As far as Leventhal is concerned, Apple's actions prove most offensive
| because they've disfigured his baby.
|
| "It's annoying that Apple decided to disallow tracing for applications that
| choose to opt out, and it's a fairly serious issue, but the bigger issue is
| that in doing so they've broken DTrace," Leventhal wrote.
