no match while resolving probe point kernel.function("printk")

[Om <om dot turyx at gmail dot com>]

I am trying to execute this script.

# printk : time printing toggle
#
global toggle
probe kernel.function("printk")
{
	if(toggle == 1){
		printf("printk_time: %d ", $printk_time)
 		$printk_time = 1 - $printk_time
		printf("printk_time: %d", $printk_time)
	}
	exit()
}

probe begin
{
	toggle = $1
}

# stap -v -u printk-time-toggle.stp  1
Pass 1: parsed user script and 38 library script(s) in 
290usr/10sys/308real ms.
semantic error: write to target variable not permitted: identifier 
'$printk_time' at printk-time-toggle.stp:8:4
semantic error: no match while resolving probe point 
kernel.function("printk")
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 1 function(s), 0 embed(s), 1 
global(s) in 490usr/150sys/640real ms.
Pass 2: analysis failed.  Try again with more '-v' (verbose) options.

When I comment out the statement $printk_time = 1 - $printk_time, it 
compiles without complaining any semantic error.

# stap -v -u printk-time-toggle.stp  1
Pass 1: parsed user script and 38 library script(s) in 
290usr/10sys/310real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 2 probe(s), 7 function(s), 0 embed(s), 1 
global(s) in 500usr/150sys/643real ms.
Pass 3: translated to C into 
"/tmp/stapFgfNHR/stap_fc59a3f7e1709e761b6ba97c2107c611_2021.c" in 
0usr/0sys/1real ms.
Pass 4: compiled C into "stap_fc59a3f7e1709e761b6ba97c2107c611_2021.ko" 
in 2460usr/500sys/2874real ms.
Pass 5: starting run.
Pass 5: run completed in 60usr/70sys/5531real ms.

How can this happen?
