I teach a commercial Linux system internals course. Last year I added
a lab to the course that introduced the students to SystemTap.
At one point we spend several hours learning how to write a loadable
module in order to trace some system data structures. Afterwards, I
show them how to achieve the same result in a few lines of SystemTap
code.
thanks to all the SystemTap people for an invaluable tool.
