severity 492676 normal reassing 492676 linux-2.6 retitle 492676 linux-2.6: should be compatible with systemtap thanks
Hi,
This is bug in Debian kernels and not in systemtap, so I'm reassigning
it there.
Please add the following options to enable use of systemtap:
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
CONFIG_KPROBES
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
CONFIG_RELAY
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO makes kernels much bigger, so it is useful to split
debug information into separate package and put it under
/usr/lib/debug/modules/.... Systemtap requires debug information for
modules and vmlinux (or entire vmlinux, need to check this).
