Control: tag -1 confirmed Timo Juhani Lindfors <timo.lindfors@iki.fi> (14/05/2013): > systemtap currently only works as root. This regression occured during > the freeze when linux 3.2.32-1 migrated to testing in 2012-11-03 and > changed the permissions of /sys/kernel/debug to 0700.

Funny patch… Too bad your call for testing[1] received little feedback. :( 1. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.systemtap/20599 > I have tested the patch on both amd64 and i386.
