            Bug ID: 23747
           Summary: Unknown  section .note.Linux in kernel module cause
                    tests with --all-modules to fail to compile
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: wcohen at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

On x86_64 Fedora rawhide running kernel-4.19.0-0.rc6.git4.1.fc30.x86_64 a
number of the testsuite/systemtap.example script fail when using --all-modules
like the following ioctl_handler.stp test:

meta taglines 'test_check: stap -p4 ioctl_handler.stp --all-modules' tag
'test_check' value 'stap -p4 ioctl_handler.stp --all-modules'
attempting command stap -p4 ioctl_handler.stp --all-modules
OUT snd_pcm has unknown section .note.Linux for sym _note_6
child process exited abnormally
RC 1
FAIL: systemtap.examples/profiling/ioctl_handler build

It appears that the problem is triggered by problem dwarf information read in
when using the "--all-modules" option:
