            Bug ID: 17906
           Summary: The test to restrict  nearest probes  to ABSOLUTE and
                    RELATIVE causing  unprivileged_probes.exp tests with
                    wildcards to fail
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: wcohen at redhat dot com

When reviewing tests I found that a number of the tests (about 60) in
unprivileged_probes.exp were failing in:

 make installcheck RUNTESTFLAGS="--debug
systemtap.unprivileged/unprivileged_probes.exp"

The tests were working in the systemtap-2.6 release.  The tests are now failing
like the following expert from systemtap.log:

eval exec stap -p2 --unprivileged -e {probe
process.library("libfoo.so").statement("libfoofunc@libfoo.c:*").nearest {
println ("Hello"); exit (); }} -c ./foo
semantic error: while resolving probe point: identifier 'process' at
<input>:1:7
        source: probe
process.library("libfoo.so").statement("libfoofunc@libfoo.c:*").nearest {
println ("Hello"); exit (); }
                      ^

semantic error: .nearest is only valid with absolute or relative line numbers

Pass 2: analysis failed.  [man error::pass2]
FAIL: unprivileged probes: --unprivileged
process.library(string).statement(string).nearest

A git bisect tracked the problem down to:

$ git bisect bad

    nearest probes: restrict to ABSOLUTE and RELATIVE

fc45b76e84f556355d52c4c4027f2d978b84bd88 M    tapsets.cxx

It looks like this doesn't accept wildcards and will cause them to be flagged
as errors.
