RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: systemtap-3.3-1.el7 Doc Type: Rebase: Bug Fixes and Enhancements
Doc Text:
_systemtap_ rebased to version 3.3 The _systemtap_ packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.3, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements: * Limited support for the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) tracing on the Intel64 and AMD64 architectures has been added. Use the `--runtime=bpf` option to use eBPF as a backend. Due to numerous limitations of `eBPF` and its SystemTap interface, only simple scripts work. For more information, see the Knowledge article https://access.redhat.com/articles/3550581 and the stapbpf(8) manual page. * The `--sysroot` option has been optimized for cross-compiled environments. * A new `--example` option allows you to search the example scripts distributed with SystemTap without providing the whole path of the file. * The SystemTap runtime and tapsets are compatible with kernel versions up to 4.17. * Usage of SystemTap on systems with real time kernel or machines with a high number of CPUs has been improved. * Handling of code used for Spectre and Meltdown attack mitigation has been improved.
