Hello forum members!
I suspect I have a config problem, but I tried different things and couldn't get the callgraph component of the linuxtools to work. If somebody could give me some hint on how to get callgraph to work I'd be very thankful.
After much search and several attempts I finally got (apparently) SystemTap working properly on my ubuntu910. Below is the output of the install test as provided here( http://sourceware.org/systemtap/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/us ing-systemtap.html#installproper)

Pass 1: parsed user script and 54 library script(s) in 260usr/0sys/273real ms.
Pass 2: analyzed script: 1 probe(s), 11 function(s), 2 embed(s), 1 global(s) in 370usr/180sys/534real ms.
Pass 3: using cached /home/ben/.systemtap/cache/3e/stap_3ebe9cf751d7f87e588d94c19 ba1cfc8_4650.c
Pass 4: using cached /home/ben/.systemtap/cache/3e/stap_3ebe9cf751d7f87e588d94c19 ba1cfc8_4650.ko
Pass 5: starting run.
read performed
Pass 5: run completed in 0usr/10sys/89real ms.

Now when I go to eclipse and try running profile using Profile as Function callgraph I get this:

SystemTap's version of uprobes is out of date.
As root, run "make -C /usr/share/systemtap/runtime/uprobes".
Pass 4: compilation failed. Try again with another '--vp 0001' option.

It seems to me one should not need to become an expert on SystemTap in order to use profile callgraph with eclipse. However, I did try the suggestions given above.

When I tried running "make -C /usr/share/systemtap/runtime/uprobes" as root I got the following pile of errors:

Please see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/529 313

There is missing utrace support in the Ubuntu kernel.

So, then I suppose I cannot use callgraph on my ubuntu910 installed eclipse! That's what this post( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/529 313) seems to indicate.
Thanks for the reply, anyway!

I've patched my kernel 2.6.35 with utrace under Ubuntu10.10, but when executing callgraph I encountered some problems:

sh: /usr/bin/staprun: Permission denied
Pass 5: run failed. Try again with another '--vp 00001' option.

How can I get the right permission ?Anybody knows?

Did you remember to add your userid to the stapdev group? See the Callgraph Help docs and follow the link to the SystemTap Beginner's Guide. Section 2.3 discusses the stapdev and stapusr user groups.

Hi all!

I thought I could just install ubuntu debuginfo kernel [1] and thus make it works as expected. However, the error raised when calling callgraph still persist in my ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid).

I have issued (by hands) many simple systemtap scripts only to test the installation and them all ran without errors.

Maybe ubuntu debuginfo kernel is compiled with utrace disabled. Does not exist an /dev/utrace device in the system.

Should I really go for re-compiling the kernel from source? Any idea?

Yes, you have to patch the kernel and re-compile it if you want to stap your own apps,otherwise it doesn't have to do so if you only need to collect some information about your OS or kernel.

Ok, i've downloaded the correct kernel with utrace, added myself to stapdev and stapusr groups and still can't run it:

ERROR: Unable to verify the signature for the module /tmp/stapShZRuj/stap_c9114380922df2350a36dd8ea544d25e_176164 .ko.
Members of the "stapusr" group can only use unsigned modules within
the "/lib/modules/2.6.35-26-generic/systemtap" directory.
Module " /tmp/stapShZRuj/stap_c9114380922df2350a36dd8ea544d25e_176164 .ko " does not exist within that directory.

note: I have manually created systemtap dir with stapdev group rights in "/lib/modules/2.6.35-26-generic/" - previously it complained that it does not exist.

I thought about linking systemtap dir to one used in /tmp/, but its name is always random. Can I just somehow point callgraph to use /lib/modules/2.6.35-26-generic/systemtap instead of tmp? Or is there a way to sign that *.ko module?

Running eclipse as root seems to fix the problem.

@Fu Haiping: I am also using Ubuntu 10.10 with linux kernel 2.6.35. Can you kindly give me the link of the patch of utrace and tell me in steps how you patched the kernel with the utrace. Whenever I run the userspace programm and try to trace it, I get the error that CONFIG_UTRACE not set. I am really in need of this. Please help me out as soon as possible

I'm also having problems with this callgraph facility. More on this thread at:

forums.opensuse.org/forums/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/474642-eclipse-callgraph-systemtap-problems.html#post2458006

It turns out the latest OpenSuse 12.1 has removed utrace from their trace-flavour of kernel, saying that it is no longer accepted upstream.

That's a shame, I was hoping to explore this tool, but now looks like its out of reach Sad

I've been giving systemtap another try, this time on my OpenSUSE 11.4 system.

The OpenSuse 11.4 repos came with systemtap v1.4 (which is a bit old now).

I tried running a simple "stap hello.stp" example and encountered this error message, similar to the one EvgenijM86 experienced in his post.

ERROR: Unable to verify the signature for the module /tmp/stapShZRuj/stap_c9114380922df2350a36dd8ea544d25e_176164 .ko
Members of the "stapusr" group can only use unsigned modules within
the "/lib/modules/2.6.35-26-generic/systemtap" directory.

I've learnt you can overcome this error, by doing the following:

sudo chgrp stapdev /usr/bin/stap*
sudo chmod a+s /usr/bin/stap*

Ie, change the group of those stap* binaries to stapdev and that setuid bit is set.

After this, if I do "stap hello.stp" now, the output is:

hello world
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/stapTJfUev': Permission denied

Hmm, so there's still a permission problem removing those temp folders, but it runs, whew...

Not perfect, but some progress... I'm also thinking of just building the latest systemtap from the source, as I recall the newer version doesn't need utrace, which was a problem in opensuse, as last I heard, they don't include it anymore:

Just to follow up:

I tried building the latest systemtap v2.4 from the source
This worked better with my "stap hello.stp" example (when run as the current user, no longer have the "rm: cannot remove..." error message at the end)
In eclipse, it still complains about not having utrace though...

I read a bit more here:

https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/SystemtapOnUbuntu

There was a mention there that utrace is no longer needed for kernels >=3.5.

Aah ok then, in my opensuse11.4, I'm on kernel v2.6.37 right now... So maybe I'll give eclipse+systemtap another try when I upgrade to a newer version of opensuse one day and hopefully things will work out better...
