 Introduction
 ============
 
 This is a port of the Sun DTrace user and kernel code to Linux.
-No linux kernel code is touched in this build, but what is produced
-is a dynamically loadable kernel module. This avoids licensing
-issues and allows people to load and update dtrace as they desire.
-
-The goal of this project is to ensure dtrace is everywhere - so
-that we can all benefit from faster systems and software,
-better kernels and generally be a good citizen to the user and
-administrators systems.

-Miscellaneous
-=============
-
-This is a pre-alpha, work-in-progress port of Sun's DTrace kernel
-debugging tool for Linux. It is not prime-time and much of it
-doesnt compile.
-
-I have taken a variety of approaches to get where I am:
-
-custom include dir: 
-
-	- <linux> for user land tools which front-ends /usr/include and
-	  /usr/include/sys
-	- <sys> for the kernel drivers.
-
-makefiles are incomplete - I use 'makefile' and will clean up Suns
-Makefile and Makefile.targ and other extraneous subdirs to simplify things.
-
-make-me is a temporary script to build the kernel drivers.
-
-No top-level makefile at present. In cmd/dtrace/dtrace is a 64-bit dtrace
-binary built on RedHat FC8. Will remove that and make it buildable.
-
-Kernel drivers assume access to /usr/src/linux -- needs to be fixed.
-kernel drivers dont compile yet. Lots of use of 
-
-	# if defined(sun)
-	...
-	# endif
-
-for bits we wont want (much cribbed from the FreeBSD port).
-
-Some code has
-
-	# if linux
-	...
-	#endif
-
-where its definitely Linux time.
-
-No GPL code in here at present; all CDDL.
-
-'tags' files are CRiSP format cross-reference files. If you dont have
-CRiSP, delete them and build your own !
-
-If you see 'warn' in a makefile, its a tool which color codes gcc
-warnings and errors and makes it easier to read the output. It also
-knows how to hide the exceptionally annoying non-warning output lines
-which are impossible to fix in real life code without a gazillion
-of compiler flags.
