Subject: [Bug translator/10174] New: Enable stap to map function addresses to function names
Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 11:28:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090520112758.10174.prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

While probing a function like :

void timer_stats_update_stats(void *timer, pid_t pid, void *startf,
                              void *timerf, char *comm,
                              unsigned int timer_flag)

one can determine only address of timer interrupt handler (timerf).
One needs to lookup /proc/kallsyms to lookup what handler-function name this
address corresponds to.

It'll proly be a good idea for systemtap translator/tapsets to have functions
for this.
