            Bug ID: 18889
           Summary: lost ability to probe kernel module initializers
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

On recent kernels, a probe requested on module .init.* functions no longer
receives hits.  This appears to be because the kernel MODULE_STATE_COMING
notification is coming too early (before the module_sect_attrs are set), so we
cannot relocate symbols against .init.*, and thus cannot place probes.  The
bz6503.* test case was too permissive to let us discover this immediately.  The
kernel change that broke stap has not yet been identified.
