Instruction tracing logic was added to upstream systemtap in time for the RHEL5-bound 0.9.7 release, but needs an backported patch to with with the older utrace found here. This patch should be safe & simple to backport. (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10091) This satisfies the code-type prerequisites for bug #463333, which relates to additional user-space packages that use this feature. (It is also accessible to systemtap users without this extra tool.)
