I must say I don't really understand some of the issues you are seeing. But it
looks like you are using a couple of years old Ubuntu install. Maybe you can
ask them if they are still supporting that and can help you with using these
more modern systemtap features.

This is weird, it means stap believes this probe is empty. But what you show
above looks like it isn't. Do all if statements evaluate to false?

This is even more curious. This seems to have nothing to do with the script you
posted. I cannot explain why the above expands to something that uses an
@entry.

Might there be more to the script than what you posted in this bug?
