dtrace discuss - Sep 2007 - invalid probe specifier nge::entry: "/usr/lib/dtrace/procfs.d"

I recently did a backport of a couple of networking bug fixes from s10x_u4_b6 to
s10x_u3_b10. I patched just /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix and
/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix in my existing u3 OS image and I''m
seeing this dtrace problem when running any dtrace script:

NODE hcb101 ~ $ ./tcpstat.sh 
dtrace: failed to compile script /dev/fd/10:
"/usr/lib/dtrace/procfs.d", line 316: translator member pr_clname
definition uses incompatible types: "char [8]" = "priv_set_t
[4]"

I can comment out the offending line in procfs.d:

pr_clname = `sclass[T->t_cid].cl_name;

and things appear to work. However I would like to know what updated files I
need to copy from my Solaris workspace in order to keep dtrace happy without
editing procfs.d.

thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

By replacing those binaries without generating them using the methodology
used for Solaris updates you''ve created a situation where the CTF
(type)
data is effectively corrupt. Contact the Solaris update team for the
correct way to generate those one-off patches.

If you just want to work around the issue and don''t need to make use of
symbolic type information, you may be able to use -x nolibs.

Could you please post the source of tcpstat.sh here?

cheers,
