[Bug tapsets/11433] New: __stp_stack_print() needs uprobes.ko

["jistone at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

On i386 and x86_64, __stp_stack_print() calls uprobe_get_pc().  If uprobes.ko
doesn't happen to already be loaded, you'll get "Unknown symbol uprobe_get_pc"
in pass 5.

$ stap -e 'probe timer.profile { print_ubacktrace() }'
Error inserting module
'/tmp/stapUMosL6/stap_372d2e868930605380a28ec58c3bb989_1157.ko': Unknown symbol

$ dmesg | tail -n1
stap_372d2e868930605380a28ec58c3bb989_1157: Unknown symbol uprobe_get_pc

A possible answer is that print_ubacktrace() is useless outside of uprobes
probepoints anyway, but I hope we can do better than a pass-5 failure...
