dtrace discuss - Sep 2005 - pid provider does not recognize return probe

Hi list,

I want to trace our binary with the pid provider, but it seems for few 
functions no return probe is recognized.

# dtrace -l | grep cull_pack_cont
40607    pid2294       sge_qmaster                    cull_pack_cont entry
47488    pid2294      libspoolb.so                    cull_pack_cont entry

or

# dtrace -l | grep cull_pack_switch
40603    pid2294       sge_qmaster                  cull_pack_switch entry
47484    pid2294      libspoolb.so                  cull_pack_switch entry

Does anyone have seen this before?

Regards
Roland

Hi Roland,

That''s a known bug which you can lookup here:

    http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6228044

The problem is that those functions probably have jump tables which are
causing us to bail out. This should be fixed in Solaris Express and
OpenSolaris and there will be a patch available for Solaris 10 within
the next couple of weeks (in fact, I just confirmed the patch on my
system yesterday). If you need a corrected binary, you can build your
own on OpenSolaris or I can try to help you out.
