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.

Description Frank Ch. Eigler 2010-10-26 14:25:28 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #646870 +++

Due to a suspected problem in the way systemtap/elfutils
compute PC addresses to place int3 probe breakpoints into
prelinked shared libraries, sometimes the wrong instruction
is modified.  This can lead to lost probes, or segmentation
violations, or more subtle errors.  This problem appears to
exist in all versions of systemtap.

"prelink -u /usr/lib/libFOO.so" corrects the miscalculations,
as a temporary workaround.

This issue is being tracked upstream at
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12141

Comment 2 Frank Ch. Eigler 2010-11-14 02:04:18 UTC
elfutils patch in hand

Comment 4 Frank Ch. Eigler 2011-01-17 15:30:50 UTC
relies on elfutils 0.151 (or perhaps 0.150)
