Bug 230290

-22 is EINVAL, and is produced when the kprobes layer suspects
something is wrong with the probed address.
Could you paste following bits of information to help diagnose?

% uname -a
% rpm -qa | grep kernel
% grep kprobes /proc/kallsyms 
% stap -vvvv -e 'probe kernel.function("sys_mkdir") { exit () }'

Interesting.  It looks like the debuginfo-extracted addresses for the kernel are
in a different range (0xc1...) than the ones /proc/kallsyms lists (0xc06...).  I
wonder if this is an effect of the 2.6.21-rc relocatable-kernel changes.

I'll get the wider team to look at this one.

This problem is fixed upstream and in the 0.5.13 refresh for fc6/7.
