Introducing utrace
There is already an open source tool providing many of the DTrace capabilities called SystemTap which was started a couple of years ago by a group of developers from Red Hat, IBM, Intel & Hitachi:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/
Currently SystemTap is focused on kernelspace probing, via the kprobes capability. This new UTrace infrastructure has potential as a way to let SystemTap probe userspace too. Another project which may be able to make use of UTrace is Frysk, which is a broader userspace debugger / execution analysis tool:
