Something *really* strange is going on there. The above output (and the part that I cut out) shows that stap didn't do pass 4 for any of the cache tests. That's really odd, since "stap -p4" is hardcoded in that test.


Can you run the following command *twice* and send me the output?

# stap -v -p4 -e "probe begin {}"

The output should look something like:

---------------
# stap -v -p4 -e "probe begin {}"
Pass 1: parsed user script and 53 library script(s) in 140usr/10sys/165real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 0 function(s), 0 embed(s), 0 global(s) in 10usr/10sys/3real ms.
Pass 3: translated to C into "/tmp/stapGSMvEZ/stap_7a5fe045c67645c83d0df1d327d2de1c_122.c" in 0usr/0sys/0real ms.
Pass 4: compiled C into "stap_7a5fe045c67645c83d0df1d327d2de1c_122.ko" in 880usr/140sys/2566real ms.
# stap -v -p4 -e "probe begin {}"
Pass 1: parsed user script and 53 library script(s) in 140usr/20sys/490real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 0 function(s), 0 embed(s), 0 global(s) in 10usr/0sys/3real ms.
Pass 3: using cached /home/dsmith/.systemtap/cache/7a/stap_7a5fe045c67645c83d0df1d327d2de1c_122.c


Pass 4: using cached /home/dsmith/.systemtap/cache/7a/stap_7a5fe045c67645c83d0df1d327d2de1c_122.ko

---------------

Pass 4 is giving an error, odd that it did not show up in the test log. Here it is:
[....]

From runtime/alloc.c
[...]
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP

66: void _stp_free_percpu(const void *objp)
{
int i;
struct percpu_data *p = (struct percpu_data *) (~(unsigned long) objp);


       for_each_cpu(i)
               kfree(p->ptrs[i]);
       kfree(p);
}

But earler in alloc.c _stp_free_percpu() is defined:

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
#define _stp_free_percpu(ptr) free_percpu(ptr)
#else
#define _stp_free_percpu(ptr) kfree(ptr)
#endif

I think the #ifdefs are messed up. Both defines are under CONFIG_SMP.
If I comment out the first defines it works better, but I am still net seeing the
"using cached " message.

Hmm. It appears from that output that the 'stap' binary you are using doesn't have caching support. If it did, the name of the C file wouldn't be 'stap_9388.c', it would be something like 'stap_6bc3d92354bbb164201d174128e2eca5_122.c'.


Can you check and ensure that the latest systemtap has been compiled and installed? Let's see the output of "stap -V".
