stap now works around the problem -- it will skip the broken ext4 header so that the other tracepoints are still usable. See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10424 It would still be nice to have usable ext4 tracepoints though. I think either trace/events/ext4.h needs to remove its ../../.. includes, or else the kernel-devel packages need to also grab those ext4-internal headers. Kernel commit 3661d286 (post 2.6.31) removes the relative includes, and I've confirmed that this enables SystemTap to use the ext4 tracepoints. Please consider including that simple patch in rawhide. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Josh, I apologize for not seeing this bug earlier. Everything should be copacetic in F12, F13, and rawhide now, yes? If so we can close this CURRENTRELEASE I guess. You're right, updated F12 is fine, as well as F13 and rawhide. Thanks! |
Description of problem: kernel-devel includes the tracepoint definitions for ext4 in "include/trace/events/ext4.h", but that file tries to include several relative files that aren't included in kernel-devel, "../../../fs/ext4/ext4.h" and "../../../fs/ext4/mballoc.h". Thus, the ext4 tracepoints can't be used by systemtap.
