Hi Jan,
CC systemtap upstream list, because I think this is not a great error
message.

It is a bit hard to say, because you didn't include journal.stap.
But I can replicate what you get with:
stap -v -e 'probe process("/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-
journald").function("dispatch_message_real") { log ("hit"); }'
You get that error message if stap cannot find that function symbol.
So first that ^ carrot should really not be at "process", but at
"function" (or really "dispatch_message_real").
stap really should tell you how to get that symbol. By installing the
matching debuginfo package.
You also get that message if the debuginfo and main package don't match
up. I had:
$ rpm -q systemd-debuginfo systemd
systemd-debuginfo-241-12.git1e19bcd.fc30.x86_64
systemd-241-10.git511646b.fc30.x86_64
The full version-release number should be identical.
After updating the systemd package, so it matched the systemd-
debuginfo
package, things finally started to work.
[mark@f30 ~]$ stap -e 'probe process("/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-
journald").function("dispatch_message_real") { log ("hit"); }'
hit
hit
hit
Cheers,
Mark
