I'm trying to make systemtap work on 12.3 x86_64. Attempt to compile latencytap.stp from included examples gives

I had the same problem in factory... Found a script that was developed to fix these problems, since apparently the interface is fairly fragile...

Now where did that script go...(and come from)...

I found the script but not sure where I D/led it from... might have been https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests/commits/master

That stap-fix.sh script in there is meant to handle internal differences in the kernel API when building custom kernels. It should never be necessary when working with distribution kernels. Looking at the error message it's far more likely the problem is that 64-bit kernel debug information is installed when the running kernel is 32-bit. -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Other way round :) I have 64 bit system but -debuginfo packages are available only for 32 bit. So runnig "zypper in kernel...-debuginfo" picked and installed 32 bit versions. I checked 12.2 and there -debuginfo packages are present for for both 32 and 64 bit.

My recollection was that it was a space issue. I think it should be fixed now/soon (for Factory) as there was a recent discussion on BS constraints that I think was the core issue. It's annoying that zypper will silently install the 32bit debuginfo (installed 64bit kernel) when 64bit debuginfo is missing. Anyhow, the core stap error is indeed because of the 32/64 mismatch. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

So if he just built his own from the sources, it would solve the problem? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
