I don't have an issue. The vmlinux I was using wasn't xz compressed and so systemtap wasn't decompressing it. Maybe it can decompress xz.
My point was that you said only "kdump and crash read it [vmlinux]" which isn't true, systemtap also does. That is all.
Aaah. It also looks (from the source code) that libdw (elfutils) can read also vmlinuz if there is no vmlinux.
This wasn't working for me when I tried it, so I had to manually decompress the installed vmlinux. Possible I'm using too old an elfutils, or issue was elsewhere. Regardless, not relevant to this bug. I'll verify it works off-line. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
