<filename>SystemTap</filename> is now fully supported, and has been re-based to the latest upstream version. This update features improved user-space probing through shared libraries, experimental DWARF unwinding, and a new <filename><sys/sdt.h></filename> header file which provides dtrace-compatible markers.
</para>
<para>
This re-base also enhances support for <filename>debuginfo-less</filename> operations. Typecasting (through the @cast operator) is now supported, along with kernel tracepoint probing. Several <filename>'kprobe.*'</filename> probe bugs that hampered <filename>debuginfo-less</filename> operations are also now resolved.
</para>
<para>
SystemTap also features several documentation improvements. A new '<filename>3stap</filename>' feature provides users with useful man pages on most SystemTap probes and functions. The <filename>systemtap-testsuite</filename> package also features a larger library of sample scripts.
