Excuse me, would you please tell us why do you think *systemtap* for
Linux is not 'in a state usable' ? Thanks.

I am sure it's usable for something; just not (yet) for the kinds
of user-level tracing I'd like to use it for.

Systemtap is young, and mere mortals do not know that it even exists.
The documentation for systemtap is even younger, and the number of
explicit, fully-worked examples is small.

And the number of examples of user-level tracing appears to be zero :(

It's hard to tell from systemtap documentation that user-level
tracing is even one of the goals, yet it is (only because DTrace
provides it?).

Searching http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki produces:
Your search query "user level" didn't return any results.
