Preface
Oracle Linux: DTrace Reference Guide describes how to use DTrace. The guide also describes some DTrace providers in detail. Most of the information in this document is generic and applies to all releases of Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle Linux 7, with support for the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 (UEK R4) and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 5 (UEK R5) kernels. Note that UEK R5 is not supported on Oracle Linux 6.
Note:
This release of DTrace supports systems that use the x86_64 processor architecture, but not systems that use 32-bit x86 processors.
DTrace support has also been extended to the 64-bit Arm architecture in this release. However, note that some providers might not be supported on this architecture.

Diversity and Inclusion
Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
