Hello.

Here are first version of my guide to dynamic tracing with Solaris
DTrace & Linux SystemTap: http://myaut.github.io/dtrace-stap-book/

This book describes basic principles and languages of dynamic tracing
and operating system kernel internals and how they may be exposed with
dynamic tracing. Last module of a book is devoted to tracing of
userspace applications. Currently only half of kernel chapter is
translated.

There are 7 exercises in this book that allow you to try yourself in
writing tracing scripts and observe mildly interesting aspects of
computer systems.

The book is not yet ready (and judging by its progress it would never be).

Sources are available on GitHub: https://github.com/myaut/dtrace-stap-book

Best Regards, Sergey.
