Brings me to a related issue. A stap -l listing holds no meaning for certain
probe types whose validation can happen only at runtime (eg Dwarfless probes ,
hardware breakpoint probes). Ideally,
$ stap -l ' kprobe.function("sys_*")'
should flag an error. But it returns the same probe point:
$ stap -l ' kprobe.function("sys_*")'
kprobe.function("sys_*")
$
The -l listing needs to be restricted only to certain probe types ; and disabled
for others.
