            Bug ID: 26152
           Summary: _struct_compat_timex_u() function doesn't work on
                    rhel8
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tapsets
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: wcohen at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

When running the current snapshot of systemtap on rhel8 some of the examples
(errsnoop and strace) that probe all the syscalls were failing.  Tracked the
problem down to the _struct_compat_timex_u() function.  This doesn't appear to
be a problem with the newer kernels in feora 32.
