Sorry for not putting my systemtap version.

What should I do? Should I use an older version of systemtap? I have
built this from source rather than from package managers.

Title:
  Systemtap regression on Linux 5.2.0-rc4+

Status in systemtap package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  System tap breaks when I run the following script in Linux 5.2.0-rc4+.
  It does not break on stable kernels like 4.4.0-148-generic.

  Script:
  file.stp:

  global stats

  probe kernel.function("do_try_to_free_pages").return {
     order = @entry($sc->order)
     time = cpu_clock_ns(cpu()) - @entry(cpu_clock_ns(cpu()))
     stats["do_try_to_free_pages", execname(), order] <<< time
  }

  probe kernel.function("try_to_compact_pages").return {
     order = @entry($order)
     time = cpu_clock_ns(cpu()) - @entry(cpu_clock_ns(cpu()))
     stats["try_to_compact_pages", execname(), order] <<< time
  }

  probe end {
     foreach([f,en,order+] in stats) {
          printf("%s:%s: order %d allocation latency - ", f,en,order)
          printf("max/avg/min/count: %d/%d/%d/%d\n", @max(stats[f,en,order]), at avg(stats[f,en,order]), at min(stats[f,en,order]), at count(stats[f,en,order]))
    }
  }

  Command to execute: sudo stap -v file.stp
