520instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise
521required to collect data.
522
523SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting language for
524writing instrumentation for a live running kernel plus user-space applications.
525We are publishing samples, as well as enlarging the internal \"tapset\" script
526library to aid reuse and abstraction. SystemTap is a tool for complex
527tasks that may require live analysis, programmable on-line response, and
528whole-system symbolic access, and can also handle simple tracing jobs.")

613 "uftrace is a tool for tracing and analyzing the execution of
614programs written in C/C++. It is heavily inspired by the ftrace framework of
615the Linux kernel, while supporting userspace programs. It supports various
616kind of commands and filters to help analysis of the program execution and
617performance. It provides the command @command{uftrace}. By default, it is
618bundled with python-3 and luajit that you can delete in a package variant.")
