            Bug ID: 17751
           Summary: systemtap hangs target process
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: a.gupta2 at yahoo dot com

systemtap 2.6 hangs target process (sample heapsort program from
https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/AddingUserSpaceProbingToApps) on Ubuntu
12.04 on EC2 (kernel 3.13). It works fine on similar configuration on virtual
box machine.

Detailed description:
1. Had a box of Ubuntu 12.04, kernel 3.2.0-67-virtual on EC2.
2. Upgraded kernel using 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-trusty'
to 3.13.0-43-generic.
3. Built systemtap v2.6 from source and installed it.
4. Built heapsort sample program from systemtap wiki.
5. Ran -> sudo stap -I tapset -c "./heapsort" heap_tap_all.stp

Systemtap hangs the process. After a while I attached gdb to running ./heapsort
process, continued execution of process and got SIGILL. See sample output
below:

 0x00007fd094a60a09 in brk () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
 (gdb) c
 Continuing.

 Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
