Linux has been adding tracing technologies over the years: kprobes (kernel dynamic tracing), uprobes (user-level dynamic tracing), tracepoints (static tracing), and perf_events (profiling and hardware counters). And namespaces, used for Linux containers, are also a relevant technology. Oracle VM Server is based on Xen.
