Description of problem:
The systemtap tutorial by Frank Eigler starts with:

# cat hello-world.stp
probe begin
{
   print("hello world\n")
   exit()
}
# stap hello-world.stp

This fails.  Running with "-v" the first problem is that the generated .c file includes linux/config.h, which has been obsoleted in 2.6.18.  Workaround: make an empty config.h file.

Second problem: generated module will not load due to missing symbol. Dmesg(1) reports:

stap_9360: Unknown symbol kallsyms_lookup_name

Checking against the git log ... the export of this symbol was dropped when a new method was added to the kernel for symbol to address resolution.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemtap-0.5.9-1.fc6

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.See
2.the
3.description

Actual Results:
Module is built (once I created empty config.h file) but will not load.

Expected Results:
Module should have loaded and printed "hello world".
