Re: DTrace on Linux. Short answer is no DTrace on Linux.
If you're running Oracle Linux, Oracle has a partial DTrace implementation,
but it's missing several
key providers and the providers that are there do not work reliable. In a
word, it's buggy and in my
opinion not usable.
There's also https://github.com/dtrace4linux/linux, a DTrace port to Linux
on GitHub, but I found that to be
generally buggy and unreliable as well, and I do not think it is being
actively developed and debugged.**

Re: Brendan's site. It's a wealth of information on tools and utilities for
diagnosing performance problems
on Linux. If you're looking to get jump-started on Linux performance tools
and utilities, sit back, grab an
espresso, and watch several of Brendan's videos from various technical
conferences and grab the slide
decks on SlideShare.

** It is not my intention to cast aspersions on Paul Fox or any of the
contributors to dtrace4linux. It's
a huge amount of work, an extremely complex software framework and as far
as I know it's work
they did in their spare time. I am simply conveying my experience from
about a year ago of
grabbing the bits from GitHub, building and installing DTrace on Linux, and
trying to use it.
