Fixed In Version: systemtap-1.1-3.el5_5.1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Although the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 for the Itanium architecture introduced a new pipe system call handler, "sys_ia64_pipe", the function was not added to the SystemTap tapset. As a result, probing the system call from the script via "probe syscall.pipe" did not succeed. This error has been fixed, the new function has been added to the tapset, and the pipe system call should now be probed correctly.

As mentioned in comment 11 of bug 568032 (<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=568032#c11>), this has been fixed in upstream commit 9ab564b and fc2a22c by adding support for sys_ia64_pipe.

Fix for the syscalls2.stp tapset:

<http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=commitdiff;h=9ab564b0a21f2df7d9457857cc636c621a2f7090>

These patches will need to be backported.
