Available under a OSS compliant license (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.org&#x2F;license&#x2F;UPL" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;opensource.org&#x2F;license&#x2F;UPL</a>), it&#x27;s a shame that this completely user space implementation based on BPF hasn&#x27;t got wider attention. Looking at the activity on dtrace-devel it seems like it&#x27;s actively maintained by a team of dedicated developers.<p>The Linux &quot;native&quot; alternative bpftrace is fantastic but it&#x27;s not practical to use it in an embedded environment because it pulls in llvm-libs.
