$ cd $HOME

$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev debhelper gawk

apt-get install ncurses-dev

$ mkdir tmp

$ cd tmp

$ sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)

$ apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)

$ cd linux-2.6.31 (this is currently the kernel version of 9.10)

$ fakeroot debian/rules clean

$ AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic skipdbg=false

$ sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image-debug-2.6.31-19-generic_2.6.31-19.56_amd64.ddeb

出现错误：

测试是否成功：

stap -e 'probe kernel.function("vfs_read") { printf("%s ", $$vars)}' -vv

用户域的探针

Systemtap最初是用于内核态的探针的，但是基于用户态的探针能定位解决用户的程序问题。Systemtap0.6能往用户态的进程中放入探针。SystemTap能支持在用户态的进程中的某个方法的入口和出口的地方放入探针。

用户态Systemtap的探针要求安装utrace内核扩展。utrace的介绍在：

http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace

使用命令来判断当前系统是否安装了utrace

grep CONFIG_UTRACE /boot/config-`uname -r`

如果支持用户态探针，会输出：

CONFIG_UTRACE=y

用户态Systemtap也需要uprobes内核模块。如果没有安装的话，你在运行需要uprobes模块的时候会出现下面的问题：

用户态的事件

用户态事件以process开始，有下面几种形式

PATH是可执行程序的路径

process("PATH").function("function")

process("PATH").statement("statement")

process("PATH").mark("marker")

process.begin

process.thread.begin

process.end

process.thread.end

process.syscall
