The first error, "implicit declaration of function ‘init_timer’" seems to be
caused by the following upstream kernel commit:

    timer: Remove init_timer() interface

    All users of init_timer() have been updated. Remove the ancient interface.

Hi, I am new to systemtap.

Of course, your patch is better than mine. However, I have also posted a patch
to fix this case three days ago.

https://sourceware.org/ml/systemtap/2017-q4/msg00164.html

Although I've read HACKING to understand the contribution procedures to
systemtap, I'm still not sure whether it is enough to send the patch to the
mailing list (when I want to contribute to systemtap next time). For example,
do I need to report a bug on Bugzilla first?

If possible could you please tell me about how to contribute to systemtap.

Thanks,
Lu

That is great, sorry that your patch was just accidentally overlooked.

You did the right thing.  I don't think this overlooking will happen again.  To
make it even more unlikely, please consider also opening a bugzilla report
about such problems.  That way the chances of "crossed wires" is smaller.

Thanks again!

It does not matter, I know how to do it later more importantly.

I'm so sorry about that. I've been out, and in the crush to catch up I missed
your patch. Thanks so much for trying to help out.

It doesn't matter. Thank you for your contribution to systemtap. It is very
helpful for my job.
