Regarding Ingo's comment and mailing list post, am I correct thinking that SystemTap could simply replace any explicit instrumentation code that he was talking about? Or does SystemTap have significant limitations where it cannot be used?

Quotes of the week Posted Oct 6, 2007 23:59 UTC (Sat) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] I'm by no means a kernel expert, but judging from what I've read, SystemTap is not an answer: it cannot be safely enabled on production systems. Otherwise you might bring your real-time banking system down while testing a supposedly secure probe. (Also, it has to be enabled on production systems beforehand.)SystemTap hackers will tell you otherwise, so read for yourself.
