This patch can fix the problem. But I do not know whether it is right.
This sounds highly related to Matthias' issue: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-June/msg01484.html
What version of systemtap headers and gcc are you using, that produce this error?
I use RHEL6RC, and the version of systemtap headers and gcc are: # rpm -qa 'systemtap*' systemtap-sdt-devel-1.2-9.el6.x86_64 systemtap-runtime-1.2-9.el6.x86_64 systemtap-1.2-9.el6.x86_64 # rpm -q gcc gcc-4.4.4-13.el6.x86_64

If a cast really helps matters, I'd almost rather hide it within the #define PROBE() than make callers have to worry about it, but I'm reluctant to add a cast without knowing exactly why you are hitting compilation failure.
