Bug ID: 16955
Summary: blacklisting requires better feedback
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: translator
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: jlebon at redhat dot com
When a function is omitted because it is blacklisted, there is no useful
feedback:
$ stap -e 'probe kernel.function("do_symlink") { next }'
semantic error: while resolving probe point: identifier 'kernel' at :1:7
source: probe kernel.function("do_symlink") { next }
^
semantic error: no match (similar functions: do_symlink, add_symlink,
del_symlink, do_setlink, SyS_symlink)
Pass 2: analysis failed. [man error::pass2]
$
It's especially confusing because do_symlink is listed in the list of
alternatives. We should provide some indication as to why there was no match.
There is already some output hidden behind -vv to show that it is blacklisted:
...
probe do_symlink@init/initramfs.c:364 kernel reloc=.dynamic
pc=0xffffffff81d2116e init/exit - skipped
...
