            Bug ID: 17696
           Summary: Systemtap fails to find kernel tracepoints when kernel
                    is built in a separate directory from source tree
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: zhuo at bitoasis dot com

* A:

When kernel is built in a separate directory from the kernel source tree:

1) before building:

export BUILDDIR=/a/separate/path/
export KBUILD_OUTPUT=${BUILDDIR}/build

2) after building and installing:

   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build links to /a/separate/path/
   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source links to /kernel/source/tree/

Under this situation, stap -L 'kernel.trace("*")' lists nothing.

* B:

When kernel is built directly in kernel source tree directory,

   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build links to /kernel/source/tree/
   /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source links to /kernel/source/tree/

Under this situation, stap -L 'kernel.trace("*")' lists all available
tracepoints.
