feat(recipes): add Linux usdt build #19

Closed mmarchini closed 4 years ago

rvagg commented 4 years ago

so what's the summary tagline for this one? "adds dtrace probes"? I assume it's useful for getting tracing data down into v8 that you can't get with a standard binary?

mmarchini commented 4 years ago

Add USDT probes* to allow tracing of V8 GC calls and some HTTP events with compatible tracers (systemtap and BPF tracing tools).

* I think we're past the point where calling them dtrace probes makes sense on Linux

I thought we merged this PR already :upside_down_face:

I'll try to test it again this weekend to see if we can move forward with it.
