[Bug tapsets/15173] New: 'origin' renamed to 'whence'


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15173

             Bug #: 15173
           Summary: 'origin' renamed to 'whence'
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tapsets
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dsmith@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The following kernel commit changed arguments named 'origin' to 'whence':

commit 965c8e59cfcf845ecde2265a1d1bfee5f011d302
Author: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Mon Dec 17 15:59:39 2012 -0800

    lseek: the "whence" argument is called "whence"

    But the kernel decided to call it "origin" instead.  Fix most of the
    sites.

This causes problems for several probe aliases, including:

nfs.fop.llseek
syscall.llseek
syscall.lseek
generic.fop.llseek
