Hi Roland, I discovered today that I was getting bad addresses for a simple systemtap probe, process("/bin/env").function("main"). I tracked it down to getting the module bias from dwfl_module_detdwarf, which AIUI should always be zero for ET_EXEC. When this file is prelinked, we're getting a non-zero bias. This is a regression from 0.149, apparently due to the address_sync logic added for the i386 REL->RELA fix. I'm on x86_64 this time, and that /bin/env is from coreutils-8.5-7.fc14.x86_64. Jakub said that the PT_LOAD heuristic should work fine for shared libraries, but suggested for ET_EXEC that it might work better to compute the bias from non-movable sections, or to parse the .gnu.prelink_undo section. I've attached readelf -WlS for prelinked and not, and for the .debug. I also uploaded those along with the actual binaries here: http://jistone.fedorapeople.org/env-prelink-issue/ Thanks, Josh
