Bug 816761

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #739596 +++

Description of problem:

Attempting to use systemtap on fc17. Systemtap builds kernel modules and installs them to instrument the machine. For this to work need to have kernel-devel (or kernel-tegra-devel) able to build modules on the machine. The machine attempting this on is a trimslice pro.  Pretty much like #739595 just a newer version of the kernel.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-headers-3.3.2-8.fc17.armv7hl
kernel-tegra-3.3.2-8.fc17.armv7hl
kernel-debuginfo-common-armv7hl-3.3.2-2.fc17.armv7hl
kernel-tegra-devel-3.3.2-8.fc17.armv7hl
systemtap-1.7-4.fc17.armv7hl

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the rpms above from koji
2. As root run the example from http://sourceware.org/systemtap/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/using-systemtap.html#testing:
stap -v -e 'probe begin {printf("hello world\n"); exit()}'
3.
  
Actual results:

Unable to run the example get something of like the following:


# stap -v -e 'probe begin {printf("hello world\n"); exit()}'

Additional info:

Looking at local rpmbuild of kernel rpm see:

$ls rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.39.fc14/linux-2.6.39.armv5tel/arch/arm/mach-tegra/include/mach/

Don't see the include/mach in the kernel-tegra-devel:

$ls /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40.3-0.fc14.armv7l.tegra/arch/arm/mach-tegra/
Kconfig  Makefile  Makefile.boot


Manually copied the missing include directory over to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.40.3-0.fc14.armv7l.tegra/arch/arm/mach-tegra/ and things ran.

Same for 2.6.40.4-6.fc15.armv7hl.tegra

Created attachment 542714 [details]
Add the arch/arm/mach-<ArmVariant>/include direcetory to the -devel package

I have been building a slightly different version of the kernel, but I believe this patch to the kernel.spec file will copy the missing include directory to the appropriate location in the kernel-*-devel packages.

See that this is fixed in kernel-tegra-devel-2.6.42.3-2.fc15.armv7hl
