[dtrace-discuss] DTrace under Linux

[陶捷 (Euler Tao)]

Why do you say that SystemTap only is done on i386?
Does it means that, compared with DTrace, SystemTap is focused more on
hardware infomation?

And it leads another question.
Does DTrace has two different kernel parts?
I means for the x86 and SPARC architecture, there're something different
inside the 2 DTraces?

thanks a lot :)
