.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:
* 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.
* `syscall` arguments are writable again.

Verified with systemtap-4.4-3.el8. > which should be compliant with our guidelines for architecture code names
I'll have to take your word for it. I would just use the identifiers in
the source code or diagnostic messages. :-)
