I'd like to try experiencing this feature, and can't help wondering
how to make it run.

Should i purchase a rhel5?
#It surprises me that utrace+uprobes already live in its kernel, for

#instability problems has caused utrace to be moved out of mm kernel.

How about building on a kerne.org kernel?
utrace patch is here: http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/
latest uprobes patch is here(?):
http://sourceware.org/ml/systemtap/2007-q2/msg00328.html
Is there any note about building a kernel with working and latest (as
could as possible) utrace+uprobes?

Thank you for any help.
