            Bug ID: 222752
           Summary: DTrace: probe syscall::write:entry is not fired unless
                    printf in action
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: hannes@mehnert.org

I'm using rev322062, compiled (cc -o t t.c) the t.c below, which is a quite
small test case just for this bug.

The lifecycle of t and DTrace are not equal - thus I try to communicate from
the user application (t) to DTrace when to start instrumenting and when to
stop.  I do this by t writing START and STOP onto stdout, and the D script =
to
set a thread-local variable.

The probe sysctl::write:entry in t.d is not executed - the same one in t2.d,
where a printf is added - is executed.  My expectation from DTace is that t=
.d's
sysctl::write:entry would also be executed.

I execute "doas ./d.t" in one shell, then execute ./t in another shell.=20
(Running dtrace -c obviously works because DTrace then exits once t exits, =
but
this is not a solution for my use case (a much bigger instrumentation where=
 I
only want to trace after some initialisation).
