             Bug #: 15016
           Summary: SystemTap + Probing User Spaceâ
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: uprobes
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: eldereng@hotmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


I use OpenSuSe 12.2 with XEN hypervisor. Studying the Systemtap (Chapter 4.
User-Space Probing), I saw that it is possible to do probing for applications
in user space, but it's not work in my kernel.

Running the command below, everything works correctly.
stap -v -e 'probe vfs.read {printf("read performed\n"); exit()}' 
Pass 1: parsed user script and 90 library script(s) using
80812virt/24360res/2512shr/22300data kb, in 130usr/10sys/151real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 1 function(s), 3 embed(s), 0 global(s)
using 300208virt/126464res/8372shr/115764data kb, in 1360usr/730sys/2131real
ms.
Pass 3: translated to C into
"/tmp/stap7aWTJW/stap_6d420bdef22bdcac997a4dae1ea7f20b_1642_src.c" using
289736virt/121028res/5764shr/115764data kb, in 0usr/0sys/8real ms.
Updating /tmp/stap7aWTJW/Makefile.xen
Pass 4: compiled C into "stap_6d420bdef22bdcac997a4dae1ea7f20b_1642.ko" in
1430usr/630sys/2499real ms.
Pass 5: starting run.
read performed
Pass 5: run completed in 10usr/50sys/403real ms.




But, running the command below, nothing works.
stap -e 'probe process("/lib64/libc-2.15.so").function("malloc")
{println("test")}'
user-space facilities not available without kernel CONFIG_UTRACE or
CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS/CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES/CONFIG_UPROBES
Pass 4: compilation failed. Try again with another '--vp 0001' option.




Can someone help me?
