--- Comment #3 from William Cohen <wcohen at redhat dot com> ---
Took a look the verbose output of the following commands for the failing bpf
and working lkm versions:

$ stap  -p4 -vvvvv --bpf -e 'global ids; probe
kernel.function("__do_sys_fcntl"){ids[$fd]++}'  >& bpf_function_typing.log

$ stap  -vvvvv -p4  -e 'global ids; probe
kernel.trace("sys_enter"){ids[$id]++}' >& lkm_typing.log


In the failing bpf version in the output see:

focused on module '/tmp/stapvvSB1G/tracequery_kmod_1/tracequery_kmod_1_116.o'
pattern 'stapprobe_sys_enter' matches function 'stapprobe_sys_enter'
replaced $id with __tracepoint_arg_id
Rerunning the code filters.
tracepoint-based probe_20795 tracepoint='sys_enter'

Later in the bpf output see:


symbol resolution for derived-probe kernel.trace("raw_syscalls:sys_enter") /*
<- kernel.trace("sys_enter") */
      global ids is defined in chosen-tapset-file <input>
number of probes with global-variable conditions: 0
Eliding side-effect-free singleton block operator '{' at <input>:1:44
replaced {

} with (__global_ids[__tracepoint_arg_id])++

resolved type long to operator '++' at <input>:1:53

semantic error: unresolved type : identifier '$id' at <input>:1:49
   thrown from: elaborate.cxx:7391
        source: global ids; probe kernel.trace("sys_enter"){ids[$id]++}


It seems that bpf is losing typing information for __tracepoint_arg_id.  For
the lkm version see:

found parameter for tracepoint 'sys_enter': type:'long int' name:'id'
decl:'long int __tracepoint_arg_id' ok
replaced $id with __tracepoint_arg_id
Rerunning the code filters.

Then later in the lkm output:

symbol resolution for derived-probe kernel.trace("raw_syscalls:sys_enter") /*
<- kernel.trace("sys_enter") */
      local __tracepoint_arg_id is already defined
      global ids is defined in chosen-tapset-file <input>
