commit 62911bbe502536cb7d49c80b70f667c11354d1ed
Author: Josh Stone <jistone@redhat.com>

    Add initial support for inode-based uprobes
    
    This adds support for placing regular userspace probes using the new
    inode+offset API being developed for the upstream kernel.  This includes
    probing functions, statements, and SDT markers, but return probes aren't
    yet supported in the new API.  A lot of the finer details of systemtap's
    userspace runtime still needs work too, but this is a functional start.
    
    * runtime/uprobes-inode.c: New, basic registration code to lookup
      filename inodes and connect uprobes using the new API.
    * tapsets.cxx (kernel_supports_inode_uprobes): New, guess whether this
      is an inode-uprobes kernel based on CONFIG values.
      (dwarf_builder::build): Disallow userspace return probes.
      (uprobe_derived_probe::join_group): Only trigger task_finder and the
      manual uprobes model for the old style of uprobes.
      (uprobe_builder::build): Disallow absolute-address userspace probes.
      (uprobe_derived_probe_group::emit*): Split into inode/utrace variants.
