I just checked in some material for the Systemtap beginner's guide into the systemtap git tree. This is to address PR11823 - document user-space probes and other recent features in beginner's guide:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11823
There are some todo left on this material:
-compiling the uprobes.ko module when needed
-pretty printing $ $$ suffixes
-user-space stack backtraces
Any comments or feedback on the material would be appreciated.
