Hey, running stap on a fresh install after stap-prep will always produce warnings, which break some of the stap functionality: $ stap test.stp WARNING: Kernel function symbol table missing [man warning::symbols] stap looks for the symbols at: $ strace stap test.stp 2>&1 | grep System.map openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib/modules/6.1.0-10-amd64/build/System.map", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/boot/System.map-6.1.0-10-amd64", O_RDONLY) = 3 where the latter just contains: $ cat /boot/System.map-6.1.0-10-amd64 ffffffffffffffff B The real System.map is in the linux-image-<version>-dbg package i.e., the symbols are actually available at: $ dpkg -L linux-image-6.1.0-10-amd64-dbg | grep System.map /usr/lib/debug/boot/System.map-6.1.0-10-amd64 but stap does not know this. I can get this working locally with: $ sudo cp /proc/kallsyms /boot/System.map-$(uname -r) But this can't be the official solution for obvious reasons. See: https://sourceware.org/systemtap/man/warning::symbols.7stap.html https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SystemTap#System.map_is_missing For reference, stap works out of the box without stap-prep on Fedora 38. There: $ strace stap test.stp 2>&1 | grep System.map openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64/build/System.map", O_RDONLY) = 3 $ rpm -qf /lib/modules/6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64/build/System.map kernel-devel-6.3.11-200.fc38.x86_64 Cheers, Juho Kuisma
