Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.

=======

Both base rhel systemtap and gccts systemtap seem to reproduce it:

8.4 Server x86_64 # uname -r; rpm -qa |fgrep systemtap|sort
4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64
gcc-toolset-11-systemtap-4.5-3.el8.x86_64
gcc-toolset-11-systemtap-client-4.5-3.el8.x86_64
gcc-toolset-11-systemtap-devel-4.5-3.el8.x86_64
gcc-toolset-11-systemtap-runtime-4.5-3.el8.x86_64
systemtap-4.5-1.el8.x86_64

systemtap-devel-4.5-1.el8.x86_64
systemtap-runtime-4.5-1.el8.x86_64
8.4 Server x86_64 # 


In case this is a real issue the bug should be cloned for gccts.
Comment 1 Martin Cermak 2022-02-17 10:47:16 UTC 
Confirmed when retesting gcc-toolset-11-systemtap-devel-4.5-6.el8 now with 4.18.0-367.el8.
Comment 3 Frank Ch. Eigler 2022-11-17 17:54:25 UTC 
A hand-run version of this test passes with systemtap-4.8-1.el8 - no complaints about procfs leftovers after an OOMy run.
