vm.mmap is defined thus:

  probe vm.mmap = kernel.function("do_mmap"), kernel.function("do_mmap2")? {
      address = $addr
      length = $len
  }

So if "do_mmap" is found, then your conditional flag is satisfied.  Add "-vv" to
your command-line, and you should see that it correctly resolves "do_mmap".  Now
you have a valid probe point, so it tries to fill in the body, where it fails
due to bug #1155.

Try a truly non-existent probepoint like:
  probe kernel.function("foobar") ? { printf("%d\n", $badparam) }
... and you'll get the correct "no probes found" error, without looking up the
parameter.
