Indirect functions not being resolved in libraries


Hi everyone,

Has anyone tried to put probe points on libraries where the function is
defined in the symbol table as an indirect function?  

For, example:
....
# stap -g -v -e 'probe process("/lib64/libc-2.17.so").function("printf") {
log("TEST") }'
....

Fails with the following message:
....
semantic error: while resolving probe point: identifier 'process' at
<input>:1:7
        source: probe
process("/lib64/libc-2.17.so").function("gettimeofday") { log("TEST") }
                      ^

semantic error: no match
....

According to the symbol table this is an indirect function:
...
# nm /lib64/libc-2.17.so
...
03bbdcad0f0 i gettimeofday
...

I am running some tests on Fedora 19 and have the debug information for the
libraries etc installed. This seems to be a problem with defined indirect
functions.  For example, the following works fine:
...
# stap -g -v -e 'probe process("/lib64/libc-2.17.so").function("printf") {
log("TEST") }'
....
# nm /lib64/libc-2.17.so
...
0000003bbdc51dd0 T printf
...

I'm presently at a loss as to how to resolve this.  Any help would be very
appreciated.

Best regards,
Alex
