Fixed In Version: systemtap-3.2-1.el7
Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
_systemtap_ rebased to version 3.2 The *SystemTap* utility has been updated to upstream version 3.2. Notable enhancements include: * Support for extraction of matched regular expression has been added. * Probe aliases for accepting input from the standard input have been added. * Translator diagnostics have been improved. * Support for the new `statx` system call has been added. * A new string function `strpos()` for detecting substring position has been added to the stap language. Additionally, this update fixes the following bugs: * Previously, the statistics extractor functions `@min()` and `@max()` returned incorrect values. As a consequence, scripts relying on these functions did not work properly. The `@min()` and `@max()` functions have been fixed to return the correct maximum and minimum values. As a result, the affected scripts now work as expected. * Previously, some kernel tracepoints were inconsistently listed with the `stap -L` command, even when they could not be probed. *SystemTap* has been fixed so that the listed and probe-able tracepoint sets match again. * The `netdev.receive` probe has been fixed and can collect data again. * The example script `nettop.stp` affected by the broken `netdev.receive` probe again works as expected. Note that the kernel version in Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not support extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF), and consequently the related upstream *SystemTap* features are not available.

Able to see the enteries in the format :

N@OP where
N maybe any one of -1, -2, -4, -8, 1, 2, 4, 8
OP maybe in any one of the following formats
iNUM or i-NUM
REG or %rREG
NUM(REG) or -NUM(REG) or NUM(%rREG) or -NUM(%rREG)
REG,REG or %rREG,%rREG
where NUM is any numeric constant and REG is a register
index (0 to 31).
