Description Petr Muller 2009-05-20 15:51:54 UTC

Description of problem:
on s390x architecture, with recent 5.4 tree (kernel-2.6.18-149.el5), some testcases from the systemtap testuite have a regression, when they fail to build with this message:

stap: offline.c:69: dwfl_offline_section_address: Assertion `mod->e_type == 1' failed.
Aborted

These testcases show this behavior:
systemtap.base/kmodule.stp
buildok/four.stp
buildok/nfsd-all-probes.stp
buildok/scsi-all-probes.stp


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemtap-0.9.7-1.el5

How reproducible:
always on s390x

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stap -v -p4 systemtap.base/kmodule.stp
  
Actual results:
Pass 1: parsed user script and 52 library script(s) in 500usr/10sys/714real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 4 probe(s), 0 function(s), 0 embed(s), 1 global(s) in 90usr/200sys/403real ms.
stap: offline.c:69: dwfl_offline_section_address: Assertion `mod->e_type == 1' failed.
Aborted

Expected results:
Pass 1: parsed user script and 44 library script(s) in 450usr/10sys/760real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 4 probe(s), 0 function(s), 0 embed(s), 1 global(s) in 60usr/200sys/377real ms.
Pass 3: translated to C into "/tmp/stapytF04n/stap_06fcfbc74ad254e050b1e5a8891c6549_689.c" in 50usr/200sys/391real ms.
/root/.systemtap/cache/06/stap_06fcfbc74ad254e050b1e5a8891c6549_689.ko
Pass 4: compiled C into "stap_06fcfbc74ad254e050b1e5a8891c6549_689.ko" in 3800usr/360sys/6538real ms.

Additional info:
With RHEL5.3 systemtap this works, so this is a Regression
