almost half an hour without crash the kernel.
Hi, perhaps there is an incompatibility between the current stap and the
RH kernel.
I will see if I can make a stock kernel work (I'm assuming that's what
you mean
by 2.6.18 above?).
Yes. I am using 2.6.18
I also checked in some bugfix for LKET on i386. I tried to turn on all
probes(addevent.*) and it works ok. You can try the latest CVS and let
me know if you have any problem.
Hi, just tried the current cvs code. The compile error is gone.
Unfortunately the kernel hang is still present :(
I may also try a 'real' machine vs a vmware instance.
I tried addevent.iosyscall.*, addevent.scsi.* , addevent.syscall.*,
and they all seem stable.
I tested addevent.* twice, which will turn on a lot of probes. The
first time it crash after 60 seconds. The second time it keep running
for almost 30 minutes without crash while I am running other
application at the same time. So I can't say addevent.* won't crash
your system, but you can try it or try with a smaller set of trace
hooks :)
btw, I updated elfutils to 0.124 in the second test of addevent.*
