[DTrace-devel] [PATCH v4 5/5] selftests/usdt: add test covering different forms of stapsdt note args

[Kris Van Hees]

This test does not pass on Debian, or any other system that compiles with
PIE enbaled by default as far as I can see because it fails to resolve the
function name (even though it is in the symbol table since that is not
stripped).  So there must be something wrong with the logic of the
implementing patch to get the function name from the address information.
