I'm looking at an upstream problem, and wrote a simple systemtap script

probe kernel.function("module_put")

It has been reported that this bug is fixed in git systemtap
(via a runtime autoconf test); we just need to spin an update
for fedora.

    Fix on_each_cpu() call for kernels >2.6.26.

    This is a generalization of the patch from James Bottomley:
    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2008-q3/msg00220.html

    The on_each_cpu() change was merged *after* the 2.6.26 release, so I'm
    using an autoconf test instead of James' version check.

Title:
  Systemtap broken on Intrepid

Status in systemtap package in Fedora:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: systemtap

  Hi,
        in Intrepid I cannot run any systemtap script, since each one fails with this error:

  Running make -C "/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build" M="/tmp/stapy5xLfx" modules >/dev/null

  It seems to be a known problem, which has been patched this summer:

  Can you please update systemtap package to reflect this API change?

  Thanks!
