[TAG] Trying DTrace on Linux

[Amit k. Saha]

Hello all,

Linux port of DTrace has been moving for some time now.

I just tried the latest bits from
ftp://crisp.dynalias.com/pub/release/website/dtrace and the initial
impression is we got really cool stuff (in the making here).

Besides, GCC, Kernel headers, you will need the following stuffs to
compile and load the DTrace kernel module:

   * libelf-dev: Working with 'elf' files
   * zlib libraries: working with the zlib files
   * bison, flex

Once you have got them, extract the sources and do:

  1. make all
  2. sudo make install
  3. sudo make load

If you do not see any error message, then the DTrace kernel module
'dtracedrv' has been correctly insrted.dtrace -l should display a long
list of the currently available probes.

Read the rest at http://amitksaha.blogspot.com/2009/03/dtrace-on-linux.html.

(The code doesn't format properly here, hence the link to the blog)

Best,
Amit
