Bug #: 15466
Summary: add fallback for timer.profile on kernels without
register_timer_hook()
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tapsets
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: smakarov@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
Recent kernels have taken out the register_timer_hook() mechanism. Until a
suitable tracepoint is added back, timer.profile should be changed to an alias
that falls back to something roughly equivalent like perf.sw.cpu_clock. (The
actual underlying probe point should be renamed something like
timer.profile.tick.)
