SystemTap works by producing a new kernel module source, compiling the
module and installing it. The current version of systemtap uses an
extremely old series of kernel sources that do not work against Kernel
4.x.x. As a result, systemtap does not work AT ALL and will always produce
error messages.

For example:

$ sudo stap -l 'kernel.function("*")'
Tip: /usr/share/doc/systemtap/README.Debian should help you get started.

The only solution is to upgrade to the latest version of systemtap.
