The installer places these files in /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/. These files are generated by the tracetool. However, the /usr/bin/qemu-kvm is produced with a copy: cp -a x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 qemu-kvm No matching qemu-kvm.stp generated for the qemu-kvm executable. It would be really nice if that tapset file is generated so people can use more symbolic probe points.
