Bug ID: 21489
Summary: don't prefer vmlinux.id for build-id
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: translator
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
We've had a report where a running kernel matched a proper kernel-build tree,
but stap/elfutils searched for debuginfo under /boot first. We ended up with
no build-id mismatch errors, because stap picked up the one from the
kernel-build-tree, rather than from the /boot/vmlinux* file itself. That would
have signalled the user that something was wrong with his installation.
The translator should not prefer the vmlinux.id file, esp. because its search
path does not match that of elfutils' search for vmlinux/debuginfo.
