Hi Frank,

While trying to update to the head version of SystemTap, I found that the following commit breaks my system (Linux legolas 4.15.0-101-generic #102~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 11 11:38:16 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

HEAD is now at 13d1ba6 PR12609 redux: filter out duplicate probes due to partial-inining
13d1ba6b86e806097e8c70777474f76cee182a25 is the first bad commit

 PR12609 redux: filter out duplicate probes due to partial-inining

 Ever since gcc 4.7ish, partially-inlined functions can sometimes show
 up as separate top-level functions named FOO.part.* in the ELF symbol
 table, but identifed as ordinary function FOO in DWARF.  The latter
 means that stap would probe both the partially inlined part of the
 function, and the non-inlined second part, for a plain .function()
 probe.  This new code suppresses the probe on the .part. one, based
 on a symbol name heuristic.

 Also RHBZ1169184.

I can no longer use the probe ‚kprocess.create'.
