.SystemTap rebased to version 4.5
The SystemTap package has been updated to version 4.5. Notable bug fixes and enhancements include:
* 32-bit floating-point variables are automatically widened to double variables and, as a result, can be accessed directly as `$context` variables.
* `enum` values can be accessed as `$context` variables.
* The BPF uconversions tapset has been extended and includes more tapset functions to access values in user space, for example `user_long_error()`.
* Concurrency control has been significantly improved to provide stable operation on large servers.
