Bug ID: 15932
Summary: %m/%M should have a variant that reads user memory
(instead of kernel memory)
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: runtime
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dsmith at redhat dot com
While working on bug #15928, I found that the testcase was using %m to read
user memory instead of kernel memory. We should provide a way to dump user
memory like we are able to dump kernel memory.
One possible solution would be to use the '#' flag, which means "select the
alternate form". So, a format string of "%#m" would read 1 byte of user memory.
