Highlights, important fixes, or notable enhancements:

Based on https://sourceware.org/pipermail/systemtap/2020q4/027074.html

- significant performance and stability improvements to user-space probing
- implicit thread-local storage variables can now be accessed on x86_64, ppc and s390
- initial support for processing floating point values
- significantly improved concurrency for scripts using global variables via shortened critical sections
- new syntax for defining aliases with both a prologue and epilogue
- new @probewrite predicate
- syscall arguments are writeable again

.SystemTap rebased to version 4.4

The SystemTap instrumentation tool has been updated to version 4.4, which provides multiple bug fixes and enhancements. Notable changes include:

* Significant performance and stability improvements to user-space probing.

* Implicit thread local storage variables can now be accessed on x86_64, ppc64le and s390x processors.

* Initial support for processing of floating point values.

* Significantly improved concurrency for scripts using global variables. The locks required to protect concurrent access to global variables have been optimized so that they span the smallest possible critical region.

* New syntax for defining aliases with both a prologue and an epilogue.

* New `@probewrite` predicate.

* `syscall` arguments are writable again.

The SystemTap instrumentation tool has been updated to version 4.4, which provides multiple bug fixes and enhancements. Notable changes include:

* Performance and stability improvements to user-space probing.

* Users can now access implicit thread local storage variables on these architectures: AMD64, Intel 64, IBM Z, the little-endian variant of IBM Power Systems.

* Initial support for processing of floating point values.

* Improved concurrency for scripts using global variables. The locks required to protect concurrent access to global variables have been optimized so that they span the smallest possible critical region.

* New syntax for defining aliases with both a prologue and an epilogue.

* New `@probewrite` predicate.
