RFC: Java VM support in SystemTap

["Danilov, Oleg V" <oleg dot v dot danilov at intel dot com>]

Hi,

Sorry for the wrong formatting in my previous email.

Inspired by the SUN DTrace ability to provide insight information about
running java applications we think it makes sense to add this ability to
the
SystemTap as well. Basically we need a framework which allows
investigation
of the behavior of underlying operating system combined with the insight
information about running Java applications. This can assist in
identifying
the underlying cause of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap
simplify gathering of information about Linux kernel and it is possible
to
add support of the user applications. An attached document describes our
vision on how Java VM support could be integrated into the SystemTap.

Your comments are welcome.

Thanks,
  Oleg
