Hi :
I  tried to trace some function the driver/net ixgbe by systemtap, but 
it always fails with following errors:
[root@petpig demo]# lsmod|grep ixgbe
ixgbe                 106084  1
dca                     5152  1 ixgbe
mdio                    3772  1 ixgbe

[root@petpig demo]# cat ixgbe.stp
probe kernel.function("ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_put") { log ("enter") }
probe kernel.function("ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_put").return { log ("exit") }

[root@petpig demo]# stap -v ixgbe.stp
