Bug ID: 17155
Summary: systemtap.examples/profiling/functioncallcount.stp
failures on x86_64
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: testsuite
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dsmith at redhat dot com
When I run the systemtap.examples/check.exp testcase (which tests all the
examples), the functioncallcount.stp example fails about half the time on
x86_64. When it fails, I see this in systemtap.log:
====
ERROR: probe overhead exceeded threshold
WARNING: Number of errors: 1, skipped probes: 0
WARNING: /usr/local/bin/staprun exited with status: 1
Pass 5: run failed. [man error::pass5]
child process exited abnormally
RC 1
FAIL: systemtap.examples/profiling/functioncallcount run
====
The guts of functioncallcount.stp look like:
====
probe kernel.function(@1).call { # probe functions listed on commandline
called[probefunc()] <<< 1 # add a count efficiently
}
global called
probe end {
foreach (fn in called-) # Sort by call count (in decreasing order)
# (fn+ in called) # Sort by function name
printf("%s %d\n", fn, @count(called[fn]))
exit()
}
====
Because of bug #13693, probefunc() was rewritten and now has a higher overhead.
If we switch to ppfunc(), this example script should work more often.
(The use of the new probefunc() may also be contributing to bug #17140)
