            Bug ID: 18944
           Summary: the ioblock.stp tapset fails to compile on RHEL7
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: runtime
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dsmith at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

On rhel7 (3.10.0-305.el7.x86_64), the buildok testsuite gets 3 failures from
the ioblock tapset:

FAIL: buildok/ioblock-all-probes.stp
FAIL: buildok/ioblock-detailed.stp
FAIL: buildok/ioblock-embedded.stp

The errors are all the same:

====

What's odd here is that the ioblock tapset has code to deal with this:

====
%{
#include <linux/bio.h>
#include <linux/genhd.h>
#ifdef STAPCONF_BLK_TYPES
#include <linux/blk_types.h>
#else
#define REQ_WRITE               (1 << BIO_RW)
#endif
%}
====

STAPCONF_BLK_TYPES is supposed to get defined by one of our "autoconf" like
tests when linux/blk_types.h is present and usable in the kernel source.

However, when this autoconf test is run, we get this error:

====
In file included from
/usr/local/share/systemtap/runtime/linux/autoconf-blk-types.c:1:0:
include/linux/blk_types.h:113:2: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
before âRH_KABI_REPLACEâ
  RH_KABI_REPLACE(void *rh_reserved1, struct bio_aux *bio_aux)
  ^
====

So, blk_types.h is present, but uses a Red Hat-only macro that comes from
/usr/src/kernel/KVER/include/linux/rh_kabi.h. In a more perfect work
blk_types.h would have included this file itself.

We'll need to rework the runtime/linux/autoconf-blk-types.c file to handle
this.
