            Bug ID: 30406
           Summary: C symbol conflicts when using Fedora 36's 6.2 kernels
                    and -DDEBUG_MEM
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: agentzh at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

When using Fedora 36 x86_64's own 6.2 kernel with the latest stap and the
`-DDEBUG_MEM` option, there is symbol conflicts with the kernel headers. It can
be reproduced by the following minimal example:

```
probe tcp.receive {
    println("Hit");
    exit();
}
```

And the compilation error when building the .ko file is like this:

```
$ /opt/stap/bin/stap -DDEBUG_MEM a.stp

                 from ./include/net/sock_reuseport.h:5,

```

It is the symbol MEM_PERCPU in conflict. I'll propose a patch to add the `STP_`
prefix to stap runtime's symbols there to avoid such issues.
