Hey,
running stap on a fresh install after stap-prep will always produce
warnings, which break some of the stap functionality:
$ stap test.stp
WARNING: Kernel function symbol table missing [man warning::symbols]
stap looks for the symbols at:
$ strace stap test.stp 2>&1 | grep System.map
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib/modules/6.1.0-10-amd64/build/System.map",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/boot/System.map-6.1.0-10-amd64", O_RDONLY) = 3
where the latter just contains:
$ cat /boot/System.map-6.1.0-10-amd64
ffffffffffffffff B The real System.map is in the
linux-image-<version>-dbg package
i.e., the symbols are actually available at:
$ dpkg -L linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64-dbg | grep System.map
/usr/lib/debug/boot/System.map-6.1.0-10-amd64
but stap does not know this. I can get this working locally with:
$ sudo cp /proc/kallsyms /boot/System.map-$(uname -r)
But this can't be the official solution for obvious reasons. See:
https://sourceware.org/systemtap/man/warning::symbols.7stap.html
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SystemTap#System.map_is_missing
For reference, stap works out of the box without stap-prep on Fedora 38.
There:
$ strace stap test.stp 2>&1 | grep System.map
openat(AT_FDCWD,
"/lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64/build/System.map", O_RDONLY) = 3
$ rpm -qf /lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64/build/System.map
kernel-devel-6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64
Cheers,
