[... 6 other traces ...] statistics: entry count: 19 exit-hit count: 7 exit-miss count: 12 statement count: 216 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Take a random sampling of do_select runs. Print a dummy non-existent variable at the end, because the default '$$vars' is too long. Also, disable overload-prevention since select(2) is very heavily used; might even need a larger -DMAXMAPENTRIES=num and smaller -DMAXSTRINGLEN=num set. Note that the line numbers shown allow a pretty good after-the-fact trace of what happened. # stap -g --suppress-time-limits whythefail.stp kernel do_select 'randint(1000)<1' '$foo' [...] Xorg.bin[2360] kernel function(do_select) $return: 1 Xorg.bin[2360] fs/select.c:410 $foo: ?
