* What's new
-- Module signing: If the appropriate nss libraries are available on your system,
- stap will sign each compiled module using a self-generated certificate.
- This is the first step toward extending authority to load certain modules to
- unprivileged users. For now, if the system administrator adds a certificate
- to a database of trusted signers (stap-authorize-signing-cert), modules signed
- using that certificate will be verified by staprun against tampering.
- Otherwise, you should notice no difference in the operation of stap or staprun.
+- Dwarfless syscalls: The nd_syscalls tapset is now available to probe
+ system calls without requiring kernel debugging information. All of
+ the same probepoints in the normal syscalls tapset are available with
+ an "nd_" prefix, e.g. syscall.open becomes nd_syscall.open. Most
+ syscall arguments are also available by name in nd_syscalls.
