lockstat - DTrace kernel lock instrumentation provider
DESCRIPTION
The lockstat driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation for locking primitives in the Solaris ker-
nel.
The lockstat provider makes probes available that you can use to discern lock contention statistics, or to understand virtually any aspect
of locking behavior inside the operating system kernel. The lockstat(1M) command is implemented as a DTrace consumer that uses the lockstat
provider to gather raw data.
The lockstat driver is not a public interface and you access the instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the
Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes
offered by the lockstat provider.

fasttrap - DTrace user instruction tracing provider
DESCRIPTION
The fasttrap driver is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation of arbitrary instructions in Solaris pro-
cesses. The fasttrap driver implements the DTrace fasttrap and pid providers.
The fasttrap driver is not a public interface and you access instrumentation offered by this provider through DTrace. Refer to the Solaris
Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the
fasttrap provider.
SPARC ONLY
The fasttrap provider provides a DTrace probe that fires each time a user process executes an instruction. The pid provider allows for the
dynamic creation of DTrace probes corresponding to instruction locations inside any user process specified using a process ID and an
instruction address or symbol name. Together these providers permit DTrace users to perform instrumentation of Solaris user processes and
to trace the interactions between processes and the operating system. See the chapter entitled "User Process Tracing" in the Solaris
Dynamic Tracing Guide for information on how to use these providers to instrument processes.

The hardware in the inner circle in the provider's network worked incorrectly and therefore there was flood for an hour. They said that it wouldn't repeat again anymore, and that that flood was not in our user network. Is this 100% correct?
