-<h1>Building SystemTap</h1>
-
-<p><i>From <tt>src/README</tt></i>:</p>
-<pre>
-systemtap: a linux trace/probe tool
-
-Visit the project web site at <http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap>,
-for documentation and mailing lists for developers and users.
-
-This is free software.
-See the COPYING file for redistribution/modification terms.
-See the INSTALL file for generic build instructions.
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- linux kernel with kprobes (mainline 2.6.11+ or backport)
-- kernel module build environment (kernel-devel or kernel-smp-devel rpm)
-- kernel debugging information (kernel-debuginfo rpm)
-- C compiler (same as what kernel was compiled with)
-- elfutils with libdwfl (possible to reuse system elfutils if new and
- complete enough, otherwise download source snapshot and build
- together with systemtap as follows)
-- root privileges
-
-Installation steps:
-
-- Install the kernel-debuginfo, kernel-[smp-]devel, gcc packages.
-- Install the systemtap package, if one already exists.
-
-Build steps:
-
-- Install the kernel-debuginfo, kernel-[smp-]devel, gcc packages
- (or see below if you are building your own kernels from source).
-- Download the latest elfutils snapshot:
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/elfutils/elfutils-NNNN.tar.gz
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/elfutils/elfutils-portability.patch
-- Untar the snapshot in some new directory; apply patch (don't ask, long story)
-- Download systemtap sources snapshot or from CVS:
- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/systemtap/snapshots/
- (or)
- cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/systemtap login
- # enter "anoncvs" as the password
- cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/systemtap co src
-- Build it:
- cd src
- ./configure --with-elfutils=PATCHED-ELFUTILS-DIR [other autoconf options]
- make all check
- make install
-
-Tips:
-
-- Systemtap looks for the debug info in these locations:
- /boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
- /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
- /lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux
-
-Building a kernel.org kernel:
-
-- Build the kernel using your normal procedures. Enable
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, CONFIG_KPROBES, and optionally CONFIG_RELAY.
-- Boot into the kernel.
-- Make sure the large unstripped kernel image 'vmlinux' from your
- build can be found by systemtap (see above) You can just symlink
- it to one of these locations.
-- Symlink your source directory to these two places, though systemtap
- does not at present use such source code.
- - /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`
- - /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
-- Symlink your build directory to here:
- - /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
-- For example, if your kernel source is in /home/me/linux/2.6.17-rc6
- and you build your kernel in the source directory, you would do
- this (be sure you are running the right kernel or `uname -r`
- will be wrong:)
- ln -s /home/me/linux/2.6.17-rc6/vmlinux /boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
- mkdir /usr/src/kernels (if needed)
- ln -s /home/me/linux/2.6.17-rc6 /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r`
- mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r` (if needed)
- ln -s /home/me/linux/2.6.17-rc6 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
- ln -s /home/me/linux/2.6.17-rc6 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
