Description Evan Klitzke 2018-02-18 19:00:38 UTC
This morning I upgraded my kernel package from kernel-4.14.18-300.fc27.x86_64 to kernel-4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64. I am still using systemtap package version systemtap-3.2-2.fc27.x86_64. I am now getting script failures due to an apparent change in the kernel timer APIs. I believe this is related to upstream kernel git commit 919b250f8570618e84af544c3e18dad5210eb9b6

The exact error I am seeing:

Comment 1 David Smith 2018-02-20 17:58:08 UTC
I'm not seeing this error on 4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64 with HEAD systemtap. Have you got a small reproducer?

I believe I fixed this in upstream commit 382a60e6a76ee and we just need to push a new version to f27 (but that reproducer would certainly confirm that).

Comment 2 Sergey Avseyev 2018-02-21 12:21:19 UTC
Is it possible to include patch from upstream?
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbb26e17a

Also upstream ticket: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22551

Comment 3 Sergey Avseyev 2018-02-22 10:16:59 UTC
I have applied that patch to f27 branch myself, and it works.
