The tcp provider uses dt_cg_tramp_get_member() to retrieve the
offset of the sk_protocol field in struct sock. However it
returns the wrong value on UEK6 since it is an 8-bit bitfield.
>From pahole we see:
unsigned int __sk_flags_offset[0]; /* 560 0 */
unsigned int sk_padding:1; /* 560: 0 4 */
unsigned int sk_kern_sock:1; /* 560: 1 4 */
unsigned int sk_no_check_tx:1; /* 560: 2 4 */
unsigned int sk_no_check_rx:1; /* 560: 3 4 */
unsigned int sk_userlocks:4; /* 560: 4 4 */
unsigned int sk_protocol:8; /* 560: 8 4 */
In other words it is really at offset 561 but because we just
lookup the member offset and not the member type offset we get the
wrong value for the sk_protoocol.
This in turn causes tcp state-change probes (and in-progress UDP
probes) to not fire since we verify that sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP.
The fix is to look up the member _type_ offset and add it to the
bit offset we get for the member itself. With this in place the
state-change probes fire, but the local tcp tests still fail due
to separate issues with the tcp:::accept-established probe.
This issue is not seen on more recent kernels because sk_protocol
becomes a __u16 as the number of protocols exceeds 256.
