WARNING::SYMBOLS(7stap) WARNING::SYMBOLS(7stap)
warning::symbols - systemtap missing-symbols warnings
For some probing operations, where DWARF debugging data is not
available, systemtap needs ELF symbols for the relevant binaries.
This allows at least probe addresses to be calculated, some
variables resolved, and with @cast() and headers, maybe even some
types.
kernel symbol table
Systemtap may need a linux-build style System.map file to
find addresses of kernel functions/data. It may be
possible to create it by hand:
% su
# cp /proc/kallsyms /boot/System.map-`uname -r`
or
# nm /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux > /boot/System.map-`uname -r`
minisymbols
On some systems, binaries may be compiled with a subset of
symbols useful for function tracing and backtraces. This
'Minisymbols' is a xz compressed section labeled .gnu_de‐
bugdata. Support for minisymbols relies on elfutils ver‐
sion 0.156 or later.
compressed symbols
On some systems, symbols may be available, but compressed
into .zdebug_* sections. Support for compressed symbols
relies on elfutils version 0.153 or later.
