Hi. I think that viewing tracing tools like LTT and systemtap as strictly kernel debug tools is very short-sighted. With a good post-processing tool, tracing is very useful to application developers who can benefit by visualizing the interaction between user-level tasks and the OS as well as the synchronization of multiple tasks/threads.
IOW, tracing is in many ways an _application_ debug tool, not a _kernel_ debug tool. And application developers usually do not want to run a debug kernel.
I would like to see relayfs merged.
