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 of problem:
I got error following tapset error with qemu_vmalloc.stp output while probing 



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
#uanme -r
3.3.0-0.15.el7.x86_64
#rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-1.0-17.1.el7.x86_64
# rpm -q systemtap
systemtap-1.8-1.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stap qemu_vmalloc.stp
  

#cat qemu_vmalloc.stp
probe qemu.kvm.qemu_vmalloc
{
 printf("size is %zu \n",size); 
}


Actual results:

[root@localhost tracing-script]# cat qemu_vmalloc.stp 
probe qemu.kvm.qemu_vmalloc
{
 printf("size is %zu \n",size); 
}

Additional info:
Comment 3 Hai Huang 2013-01-15 19:22:40 UTC 
The problem is with the printf format specifier %zu.
Change "%zu" to "%lu", then the stap probe operation will work as expected:

# cat  qemu_vmalloc.stp
probe qemu.kvm.qemu_vmalloc { printf("size is %lu \n",size) }


# stap qemu_vmalloc.stp
size is 1073741824 
size is 131072 
size is 131072 
size is 67108864 
size is 8192 
size is 67108864 
size is 65536 
size is 65536
