            Bug ID: 25168
           Summary: replace probe_read, probe_read_str
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bpf
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: me at serhei dot io
  Target Milestone: ---

After consulting with fche, I'm adding tapset functions that use BPF's
probe_read helpers to read user memory, on x86_64 only. But these helpers will
soon be deprecated in favour of properly separate
probe_read_kernel/probe_read_user. Use them as soon as they come out.
