Frank Ch. Eigler 2020-06-16 16:40:48 UTC Doc Text Important: if this rebase instead contains *only bug fixes,* or *only enhancements*, select the correct option from the Doc Type drop-down list.

As per upstream release notes:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/systemtap/2020q2/026923.html


Rebase package(s) to version: 4.3

Highlights, important fixes, or notable enhancements:

- userspace probes may be targeted by buildid as an alternate to a path name,
which allows matching binaries to be probed under any name, and which allows
a single script to target a range of different versions

- script functions may use probe $context variables, which allows systemtap
scripts to use common logic to work with a variety of probes

- stapbpf improvements including try-catch statements, and error probes, which
allows proper error tolerance in scripts running on the bpf backend

.SystemTap rebased to version 4.3

The SystemTap instrumentation tool has been updated to version 4.3, which provides multiple bug fixes and enhancements. Notable changes include:

* Userspace probes can be targeted by hexadecimal `buildid` from `readelf -n`. This alternative to a path name enables matching binaries to be probed under any name, and thus allows a single script to target a range of different versions. This feature works well in conjunction with the elfutils `debuginfod` server.

* Script functions can use probe `$context` variables to access variables in the probed location, which allows the SystemTap scripts to use common logic to work with a variety of probes.

* The `stapbpf` program improvements, including try-catch statements, and error probes, have been made to enable proper error tolerance in scripts running on the bpf backend.
