NAME         top

       warning::pass5 - systemtap pass-5 warnings

DESCRIPTION         top

       Warnings that occur during pass 5 (execution) can have a variety
       of causes.

       probe insertion errors
              With any of the systemtap runtimes, it may be possible that
              the backends are unable to insert probe points requested by
              the systemtap script.  For example, you may see errors such
              as

              WARNING: probe [...] registration error (rc -524)

              (524 is a kernel error code for ENOTSUPP).  These situa‐
              tions are out of systemtap's control, and result in some
              probes not receiving any hits.  This may be caused by tem‐
              porary resource constraints or permanent problems.  One
              common permanent problem is such a probe point being placed
              at instructions that the runtime (kernel kprobes, uprobes
              or dyninst) cannot decode or intercept.  A possible
              workaround is to move the probe points slightly in the
              script, so as to target a nearby statement, or a caller, or
              a callee.  See also error::dwarf(7stap).

       Increasing the verbosity of pass-5 with an option such as --vp
       00001 can help pinpoint the problem.
