The scheduler.ctxswitch alias in scheduler.stp doesn't work on x86_64. This
alias probes __switch_to, which is marked with __kprobes in x86_64 and thus
cannot be probed.

This is known -- __switch_to was blocked on x86_64 due to bug #2068. It also
fails on IA64, where __switch_to is a macro.
The only reason that scheduler.ctxswitch exists is because there are still some
problems with accessing parameters in inline functions. (See bug #1155)
Otherwise, scheduler.cpu_on and scheduler.cpu_off are the preferred, portable
probe points.
If you only need 'prev', use cpu_off, which fires in the context of the previous
task. If you need 'next', use cpu_on, which fires in the context of the new task.
If you need both, then unfortunately you'll have to put two probes. Once bug
#1155 is resolved, then either cpu_on or cpu_off will give you access to both
'prev' and 'next', but until then you'll have to kludge something together.
