Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Mike Cao 2011-08-11 11:13:48 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.169.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install system ,kernel-devel.kernel-debug
2.# cat /home/balloon.stp 
probe qemu.kvm.balloon_event
{  printf("opaque = %p,  addr =%u ",opaque,addr);

}

3.stap balloon.stp
  
Actual results:
# stap /home/balloon.stp 
parse error: expected literal string or number
	saw: operator '=' at /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/qemu-kvm.stp:260:8
     source:   next = $arg3;
                    ^
parse error: expected literal string or number
	saw: operator '=' at /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/qemu-kvm.stp:289:8
     source:   next = $arg3;
                    ^
parse error: expected literal string or number
	saw: operator '=' at /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/qemu-kvm.stp:315:8
     source:   next = $arg2;
                    ^
3 parse errors.

Pass 2: analysis failed.  Try again with another '--vp 01' option.

Expected results:
the script should work

Additional info:
1.The issue does not on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.159.el6.x86_64.rpm
2.I think the issue regressioned from the usb series patch.

Comment 3 Jes Sorensen 2011-08-12 06:35:56 UTC
I am not an expert on systemtap, but it looks like the error is due to the
'=' signs in your script. Try removing them and see if it makes the problem
go away, like this:

{  printf("opaque: %p,  addr: %u ",opaque,addr);

}

Also do you not have to reference the variables as $opaque, $addr?

Cheers,
Jes
