            Bug ID: 22109
           Summary: on rawhide, we're getting errors in the nfsd tapset
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

  Target Milestone: ---

On rawhide (4.13.0-0.rc7.git4.1.fc28.x86_64), we're getting errors like these
when using the nfsd tapset:

====
# stap -p4 ../src.copy/testsuite/buildok/nfsd-detailed.stp

====

At first glance, those errors looked like bad debuginfo errors, but they
aren't.

The upstream kernel has changed from functions like the following (from a RHEL6
kernel):

====
static __be32
nfsd3_proc_create(struct svc_rqst *rqstp, struct nfsd3_createargs *argp,
                                          struct nfsd3_diropres   *resp)
{
  ... stuff deleted ...
}
====

To the following (from the current upstream kernel):

====
static __be32
nfsd3_proc_create(struct svc_rqst *rqstp)
{
        struct nfsd3_createargs *argp = rqstp->rq_argp;
        struct nfsd3_diropres *resp = rqstp->rq_resp;

  ... stuff deleted ...
}
====

The 'argp' and 'resp' arguments got removed, but locals with the same names
were created. Systemtap has been bravely attempting to use these locals (and
succeeding at times). When trying to access 'argp' in return probes, that
failed (as it should, since we can only access function parameters in return
probes, not local variables).

The nfsd tapset should be updated to handle these upstream kernel changes.
