You mean systrace_freebsd.ko. I've renamed it for consistency with other systrace provider variants. I can change it back. > Perhaps we could keep the old name? =A0Or add a new module > under that name that would load native syscall module and all emulation s= yscall > modules (if any)? I'm not sure that creating an umbrella 'systrace' module is worth it. "kldload /boot/kernel/systrace*" should do that just fine. The reason dtrace exists is that there are number of modules with dtrace providers that are not easily distinguishable by their name. --Artem
