-1) I have installed SystemTap but am getting a "semantic error: libdwfl 
-failure (missing kernel debuginfo): No such file or directory", when I
-try to run a script. What am I missing? How do I fix it?
-
-This error message is related to the processing of debug-information. It
-may simply be missing, or may have some consistency/correctness problems.
-So please make sure that kernel-debuginfo rpm is installed in your system
-or in case of custom built kernels, your kernel is compiled with debug 
-options(ref Q.2). Please refer this link  
-http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/tutorial/node27.html
-
-Common error messages that one may encounter while using SystemTap along
-with possible reasons for them, are listed at
-http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/tutorial/node23.html and 
-http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/tutorial/node27.html
-
-2) What config options need to be enabled to be able to use SystemTap on 
-custom built kernels?
-
-Look at http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/wiki/SystemTapWithSelfBuiltKernel
-for the specific config options to be enabled for SystemTap.
-
-3) I have a kernel built with options listed in (2), but still can't get
-SystemTap to work. What am I missing?
-
-See Q2. Also, if you've used 'make install' to install your custom built kernel,
-it may not have copied the uncompressed 'vmlinux' to /boot/vmlinux-'uname-r'
-
-4) Is it possible for me to view the kernel module generated by SystemTap?
-
-You can specify -p3 to look at the kernel module code translated by SystemTap.
-stap -p3 <script> | less
-stap -p3 -e '...' | less
-
-man stap(1)
-[...]
-   -p NUM     stop after pass NUM 1-5, instead of 5
-              (parse, elaborate, translate, compile, run)
-
-5) How do I run prebuilt SystemTap modules?
-
-Prebuilt SystemTap modules can be run using the 'staprun(8)'
-
-$ staprun /path/to/<name>.ko
-
-Also see
-http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob_plain;f=README.security;hb=HEAD
-
-6) What should I do when some tapsets functions fails to resolve like 
-"semantic error: unresolved arity-1 function: identifier 'log'"
-
-Ensure that the tapsets are installed at the right location:
-/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/ (in RHEL or Fedora) or 
-/usr/local/systemtap/tapset if you install from source.
-
-7) This is way cool! I want to write my own scripts. Where do I look for more
-information?
-
-a. Read the SystemTap tutorial - http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/tutorial/
-b. Read the Language reference guide at - http://sourceware.org/systemtap/langref/
-c. Check out our wiki - http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/wiki/
-d. Look at http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/getinvolved.html as to how you
-   can get involved.
-e. Subscribe to our mailing list at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/.
-f. Join our IRC channel on freenode (#systemtap) and fire away your queries.
-
-8) Is it possible to override some of the macros in SystemTap generated 
-"C" module.
-
-Yup. Use -D option with stap command.
-man stap
-[...]
--D NM=VAL  emit macro definition into generated C code
-
-9) What is a tapset?
-
-A tapset is just a script that designed for reuse by installation into a
-special directory.See http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/tutorial/node15.html
-for more information.
-
-10) I see that there is no tapset for my favourite subsystem. What do I do?
-
-SystemTap community encourages users to write tapsets. See our tapset developer
-guide at http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob_plain;f=tapset/DEVGUIDE;hb=HEAD
-
-Learn how to write your own tapset looking at the existing ones under 
-/usr/share/systemtap/tapset.
-
-11) I hear the latest Linux Kernels come with marker support. Does SystemTap
-support markers?
-
-Yes, SystemTap supports kernel markers. See
-http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/wiki/UsingMarkers for more information.
-
-12) I am a non-root user, but still want to run SystemTap scripts.
-Is that possible?
-
-Yes, it is possible. Add yourself as a member of 'stapusr' group. Members
-of stapusr group can run SystemTap scripts/modules located at 
-/lib/modules/`uname -r`/systemtap directory.
-
-13) This is fantastic! But how does it all work?
-
-Internals of translation in SystemTap is described in src/INTERNALS* file.
-Documentation on kprobes is available at kernel source
-(Documentation/kprobes.txt).
-
-* http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob_plain;f=INTERNALS;hb=HEAD
-
-14) Do I have to be a RedHat Enterprise Linux/Fedora user to be able to 
-use SystemTap?
-
-No, It is possible to use SystemTap on other Linux distributions. Our
-wiki http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/wiki has more information on this.
-
-15) I found a bug when using the tool. How do I report it?
-
-a. You can file a bug at SystemTap bugzilla
-    http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemtap
-b. Drop us a note with details of the bug at systemtap@sources.redhat.com
-
-16) I'd like to contribute to the project. Where to I start?
-
-See http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap/getinvolved.html. You can even work on 
-some bugs listed in SystemTap bugzilla (look for "current bugs/pending features"
-link at the bottom of the getinvolved page)
-
-17) I am a RHEL/Fedora user, but don't have the debuginfo rpm. Where can I find it?
-
-For RHEL, you can find the rpm at: http://people.redhat.com/duffy/debuginfo.
-For Fedora, you can run: yum --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo install 
-kernel-debuginfo
-
-18) How can I find a list of blacklisted functions?
-
-See output of:
-stap -vvv -e 'probe kernel.function("*") {}' -p4 2>&1 | grep blacklisted
