Various helpers to write kprobes in C, instead of the funky limited functionality scripting language of the day.
But anyway, if systemtap folks really need a relayfs filesystem type they're totally free under the gpl to grab the code Paul posted to recreate relayfs ontop of kernel/relay.c and include it in their codebase, no need to bloat the kernel tree with unused code. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
