[Bug translator/5516] New: stap can not overwrite kernel local variables in guru mode


I got semantic error when I compiled a script which overwrote a kernel local
variable in guru-mode.
---
probe kernel.function("icmp_rcv") {
        printf("skb = %x\n", $skb);
        $skb = 0;
}
---
(NOTE: this script will crash kernel, so don't run it.)

Here is an error log.
$ stap -vg -p3  mini.stp
Pass 1: parsed user script and 38 library script(s) in 230usr/20sys/657real ms.
semantic error: Expecting symbol or array index expression: identifier '$skb' at
<input>:3:9
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 1 function(s), 0 embed(s), 0 global(s) in
340usr/430sys/8696real ms.
semantic error: unknown type of arg to print operator: identifier '$skb' at
<input>:2:30
Pass 3: translated to C into
"/tmp/stapUtkYiN/stap_4974e47d8036f6f2354d350ccb2ada6a_556.c" in 0usr/0sys/0real ms.
Pass 3: translation failed.  Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options.
