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.

diff between PASSing and FAILing systemtap.log

Description of problem:
The RHEL6.1 candidate systemtap packages has 3 FAILs in
systemtap.stress/conversions.exp testcase, while the 6.0.z systemtap has 3 PASSes here. This happens on i686 and ppc64, unknown on s390x and
x86_64.

Additional info:
systemtap.sum:
 Running /usr/share/systemtap/testsuite/systemtap.stress/conversions.exp ...
-PASS: conversions.stp 0
-PASS: conversions.stp 0xffffffff
-PASS: conversions.stp 0xffffffffffffffff
+FAIL: conversions.stp 0 (13)
+FAIL: conversions.stp 0xffffffff (13)

I could not extract any useful snippet from systemtap.log, so I will attach diff between PASSing and FAILing systemtap.log

This has been fixed in the upstream systemtap with the following patch:
