I've been asked to do is help expand and enhance systemtap's set of
tapsets. As a starting point, I have some questions regarding the
current state of things:
- What analysis has been done to determine what tapsets should be
implemented? Has anyone done a comparison between the data that dtrace
provides and what systemtap does/should provide?
- Of the tapsets already in cvs, which are considered complete and which
are incomplete. I know things like this are never truly "done", but some
must be more done than others.
- What tapsets are people in the community currently working on?
- Does a prioritized list of tapsets "to be done" exist?
Thanks,
Mike Mason
Current RPC tapset mainly picks probe points from high-level
RPC client, server and scheduler functions. It doesn't cover
other components such as XDR, credential, etc. Any contribution
to this/systemtap is welcome.
Thanks.
