When CONFIG_COMPAT is defined in the kernel's config, stap fails to compile its runtime on Fedora 32 (kernel 5.10): ``` $ /opt/stap/bin/stap -e 'probe process.function("main") { println(register("x0")) }' -c ./a.out WARNING: cannot find module /home/agentzh/git/systemtap.new/a.out debuginfo: No DWARF information found [man warning::debuginfo] In file included from /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/linux/../linux/regs.c:16, from /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/linux/../regs.c:20, from /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/linux/runtime.h:251, from /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/runtime.h:26, from /tmp/stapLY6U32/stap_9b24fb2c80d42c5c58d165f9c20c403e_6889_src.c:21: /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/compatdefs.h: In function ‘_stp_is_compat_task2’: /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/compatdefs.h:38:2: error: #error architecture not supported, no TIF_32BIT flag? 38 | #error architecture not supported, no TIF_32BIT flag? | ^~~~~ /opt/stap/share/systemtap/runtime/compatdefs.h:40:1: error: no return statement in function returning non-void [-Werror=return-type] 40 | } | ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:279: /tmp/stapLY6U32/stap_9b24fb2c80d42c5c58d165f9c20c403e_6889_src.o] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:1806: /tmp/stapLY6U32] Error 2 WARNING: kbuild exited with status: 2 Pass 4: compilation failed. [man error::pass4] ``` That part of runtime code does not handle aarch64 at all. A fix is easy. A patch is under way.
BTW, any target C program with a main function will reproduce this.
Ah, William Cohen was faster than me. Closing this.
