ustack() does not work on Ubuntu 12.04 with Linux 3.2.0-58-generic: invalid address (0x56) in action #1

[juancb]

When running dtrace on Ubuntu 12.04 under Linux 3.2.0-58-generic it seems that ustack() does not print out a stack trace but instead errors out with "invalid address (0x56) in action #1" as seen below. Is ustack() expected to work or is this functionality still pending?

ustack() should work but launching a command via -c does not. I had made a
number of changes to the way dtrace launches a proc under linux but havent
pushed out that change yet. What I have is better but still not perfect.
Was attempting to fix the pid provider, from another bug report, which
highlighted an issue.

Is the pid provider fixed now on ubuntu 12:04? Trying out USDT and it has a dependency on the pid provider.

pid provider should work - its validated as part of the build (we create
"simple" program to handle this.

"dtrace -c" continues to not work

am presently fixing issues on 3.16 kernels.
