Re: can systemtap 0.9.9's uprobes be used on Linux Kernel 2.6.28 ?


Hi -

Yes, assuming it contains utrace.

RHEL5 (and centos) ship 2.6.18 + patches.  If you're really running
2.6.28, then please identify the version of utrace applied to it.

This is kind of weird, seemingly related to the x86_64+i386 arch
merger done in the 2.6.24 timeframe.
