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 2011-03-09 14:32:55 UTC
systemtap 1.5 should be available in time for rhel6.2.  We should rebase to it as usual.  It should feature some PCP integration, which rhel6.2 could take advantage of if bug #640150 were approved.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-06-07 16:54:39 UTC
Product Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal this
decision by reopening this request.

Comment 9 Frank Ch. Eigler 2011-07-26 15:39:36 UTC
systemtap 1.6 became available in time to make this rebase.

SystemTap

SystemTap is a tracing and probing tool that allows users to study and
monitor the activities of the operating system (particularly, the
kernel) in fine detail. It provides information similar to the output
of tools like netstat, ps, top, and iostat; however, SystemTap is
designed to provide more filtering and analysis options for collected
information.  SystemTap in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 is updated to
version 1.6, providing:

   * Security fixes for CVE-2011-2503: read instead of mmap to load modules,
     CVE-2011-2502: Don't allow path-based auth for uprobes
   * Security fixes for CVE-2011-1781, CVE-2011-1769: correct DW_OP_{mod,div}
     division-by-zero bug
   * Handle kernel modules with "-" in name such as "i2c-core" properly
   * process.mark now supports $$parms for reading probe parameters.
   * Improved, simplified operation of the compile-server and client:
     -compile-server may cache scripts build results for improved performance
     -compile-server and client communicate exchange version info to
      adjust communication protocol and use newest version of server possible
     -The "--remote USER@HOST" functionality can now be specified multiple
      times and will automatically build the script for distinct kernel and
      architecture configurations.
     -Removal of deprecated tools: stap-client, stap-authorize-server-cert,
      stap-authorize-signing-cert, stap-find-or-start-server, and
      stap-find-servers.
   * Staprun allow multiple instance of the same script to run at same time.
