+On a kernel with FIPS mode enabled, staprun normally refuses to attempt to
eb15f5
+load systemtap-generated kernel modules.  This is because on some kernels,
eb15f5
+this results in a panic.  If your kernel includes corrections such as
eb15f5
+linux commit #002c77a48b47, then you can force staprun to attempt module
eb15f5
+loads anyway, by setting the

eb15f5
