I am running on the latest git-updated linux-next (using git fetch - right? version is 2.6.26-rc4-next-20080530). After I run my stap script: probe kernel.function("*@mm/swapfile.c").call { printf ("%s -> %s\n", thread_indent(1), probefunc()) print_backtrace(); printf("\n"); } probe kernel.function("*@mm/swapfile.c").return { printf ("%s <- %s\n", thread_indent(-1), probefunc()) printf("\n"); } I got the next message at the console: Keeping temporary directory "/tmp/stapweLwM7" Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: last sysfs file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: Process staprun (pid: 4522, ti=f44d1000 task=c83e0000 task.ti=f44d1000) Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: Stack: 00000000 f6ba5880 c04466d0 00000000 c08579b0 c044192a f8f8e300 00000000 Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: 00000063 00000020 f8f8e300 c044192a f44d1e64 c0446885 f8f8e300 00000014 Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: f8f8e300 f44d1fb0 c04430b7 0000002c 00020000 00000001 00000001 000006e0 Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: Call Trace: Message from syslogd@funnyman at Wed Jun 4 23:56:00 2008 ... funnyman kernel: [<c04466d0>] ?
