<invano> Hi fche, wanted to let you know for reference that I solved the arm problem I had yesterday. I kinda circumvented the problem at the moment. I'll need some time to understand stap user and kernel code and prepare a patch.
<fche> ah neat
<invano> the problem is that stap, on arm archs, is not able to distinguish arm and thumb mode
<invano> so I was under thumb mode but I'm pretty sure it was trying to execute instructions for arm mode
<fche> hm, wouldn't thumb mode be shown by odd PC values?
<invano> for now I solved jsut compiling my functions in arm mode instead of thumb
<invano> mmh you mean?
<fche> just trying to recall dim memories how arm/thumb work at the object/debuginfo level
<invano> ah ok
<fche> but anyway stap does not execute instructions (arm or thumb or anything else) itself - the kernel does, when performing its kprobe/uprobe hooking work
<invano> actually I'm on a armv7 proc with thumb2, thus 2/4B variable instructions.
<fche> will be very interested in reading more about your findings
<invano> yeah I started to have a look at kernel code but then I needed something faster and I recompiled in arm mode.

<invano> Planning to find how to patch the kernel code but I need to study the uprobe hooking a little bit first :)

<invano> actually I also found a message in a public mailing list, where they were discussing about something related probably

<invano> arm-kernel mailinglist.
<invano> here https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg320556.html they discuss about thumb2 kernel and arm mode recognition
<invano> related problem, but different probably
<fche> quite possibly related
<fche> stap just relays the symbol information to the kernel without much such heuristic processing; the closest thing we have done in the past is some powerpc TOC indirection
<fche> does CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL imply that the whole kernel is compiled with thumb* instructions? (Any idea why the symbol table wouldn't have the odd-pc addresses for symbols then?)
<invano> yes CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL should be for that purpose. I don't get why symbol table should have odd-pc addresses
<invano> ah ok probably understood
<invano> you mean incorrect NT_STAPSDTs?

<invano> also, kernel has decode-thumb.h/c that is enabled only with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
<invano> moreover, those thumb routines are considered only in kprobes (see /arch/arm/probes)
<invano> so for me it's like there is no thumb support for uprobes at the moment
<fche> that seems likely
