We had a lot of tapset additions -- briefly: - Additional scsi probepoints - Additional memory probepoints for kernel allocation and freeing. - Additional ioblock and ioscheduler probepoints. - Additional scheduler probepoints - New IRQ and workqueue probepoints. - New TTY probepoints. - New task_time tapset to query time usage. - New proc_mem tapset to query memory usage. These could all probably use fuller descriptions, or maybe just point to the documentation... Josh
