Support Systemtap PPC32

Does Systemtap support PPC32? I see that it is mentioned, that it is supported on Intel and PPC64 platforms, but there is little information about PPC32.

Also, can SystemTap be used to debug custom loadable kernel modules?

Thanks Sethu

Systemtap only supports ppc64.

You can find ppc-32 support if you use the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server" or other older distributions.

If you are thinking of using any other similar tools, here is a comparison list:

Systemtap also supports the PPC64LE architecture, which is basically the new ABI for PPC64 and runs in small mode.
