* What's new
+
+- Adjacent string literals are glued together, making this
+ construct valid:
+ probe process("/usr" @1 "/bin").function("*") { ... }
+
- In order to limit potential impact from future security problems,
the stap-server process does not permit its being launched as root.
-- New : systemtap now supports probes for Hardware Breakpoints on x86
- and x86_64. For syntax details, see man page for stapprobes.
+- On recent kernels, for some architectures/configurations, hardware
+ breakpoint probes are supported. The probe point syntax is:
+
+ probe kernel.data(ADDRESS).write
+ probe kernel.data(ADDRESS).length(LEN).write
+ probe kernel.data("SYMBOL_NAME").write
* What's new in version 1.1
