I'm seeing this with systemtap-1.1-1.fc12.i686, trying to instrument python.

Simplified script is:
probe process("/usr/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0").function("PyObject_Malloc") {
  printf("PyObject_Malloc(%i)\n", $nbytes);
}

$ stap python-mem-simplified.stp -c "python -c 'import gtk; import dbus'"
semantic error: No cfa_ops supplied, but needed by DW_OP_call_frame_cfa: identifier '$nbytes' at python-mem-simplified.stp:2:35
        source:   printf("PyObject_Malloc(%i)\n", $nbytes);
                                                  ^
Pass 2: analysis failed.  Try again with another '--vp 01' option.

$ stap -vvvv python-mem-simplified.stp -c "python -c 'import gtk; import dbus'"

Replicated against:

Also fails against current systemtap git-trunk.

Comment 4 Mark Wielaard 2010-01-20 09:39:37 UTC
For the record, doesn't fail on x86_64.

Comment 5 Mark Wielaard 2010-02-02 12:55:23 UTC
Fixed upstream:

commit 87748e2b87e574d3c83866ccd0d83678c3c68d93
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw>
Date:   Tue Feb 2 13:47:19 2010 +0100

    Make sure cfa_ops are always retrieved through dwfl global address.
    
    dwflpp::translate_location() works on the dw address space, but
    get_cfa_ops() starts out with dwfl calls (only dwarf_cfi_addrframe()
    needs to be adjusted for bias).
    
    * dwflpp.cxx (translate_location): Pass pc plus module bias through to
      get_cfa_ops.
      (get_cfa_ops): Adjust for bias when calling dwarf_cfi_addrframe(),
      add frame start/end address when found if verbose logging.
    * testsuite/systemtap.exelib/lib.stp: Add $foo and $bar variables to
      process.function probes.
    * testsuite/systemtap.exelib/libmarkunamestack.stp: Likewise.
    * testsuite/systemtap.exelib/lib.tcl: Expect correct values for
      process.function probe variables.
    * testsuite/systemtap.exelib/libmarkunamestack.tcl: Likewise.

Comment 6 Mark Wielaard 2010-02-10 14:29:03 UTC
The patch in comment #5 relies on an elfutils fix for bug #563528

Comment 7 Mark Wielaard 2010-02-19 09:17:50 UTC
systemtap-1.1-2.fc13 and systemtap-1.1-2.fc12 have been pushed with the fix from comment #5. Which should fix this issue mostly. Full fix will be when new elfutils 0.145 lands (any day now).
