error::pass3.7stap - Man Page

Errors during pass 3 (translation) occur only rarely.  

unsupported code generation

Some script language constructs are not available in every probe point.  For example, the @perf() counter-reading function may only be used in process.* probes.

Increasing the verbosity of pass-3 with an option such as --vp 002 may help pinpoint the problem.
