My project kmview is based on utrace. Utrace is a wonderful tool to support partial virtualization, I have found no other tools providing a tracing interface of user processes by kernel modules. -systemtap, dtrace: are mainly for kernel debug -LTTng: creates traces for off-line debugging (ust needs the program to be compiled for tracing, it does not work on existing binaries).
utrace can be a fast and smart replacement for the old/slow ptrace. Now the kernel patches are getting obsolete... This is a call for utrace users and developers to see if there are enough (human) resources to continue the project. I am considering to fork the subset of the project needed by kmview, but if there are enough other projects and developers interested to utrace survival we can work together. renzo davoli virtualsquare labs University of Bologna
