- Update to version 5.1
  Summary of changes:
  * SystemTap frontend (stap) changes
    - An experimental "--build-as=USER" flag to reduce privilege during
      script compilation, which is a security improvement effort.
    - New probe-points for userland hardware breakpoints/watchpoints
      targeting processes (PR31180):
        probe process.data(ADDRESS).write
        probe process.data(ADDRESS).rw
        probe process.data(ADDRESS).length(LEN).write
        probe process.data(ADDRESS).length(LEN).rw
    - Support for stap --remote=bpf.
    - Improved searching heuristics for probing symbol names with/without
      symbol-version suffixes and with/without weak names.
    - Made long-running debuginfod downloads more cleanly interruptible.
    - Improved stap-prep heuristics for finding debuginfo for "-rt"
      (real-time) kernels.
  
  * SystemTap backend changes
    - Dynamic namespace switching for processes targeted via "-x PID",
      allowing processes running within containers to be probed.
    - Improved message transport robustness for heavy traffic (individual
      messages spanning pages) and for short runs (avoiding loss of
      last-gasp messages).
    - Added MTAG macro on several internal memory allocation routines
      to improve leak warnings.  Corrected a bunch of leaks.
    - "stap -t" now reports module initialization timings too.
    - Ported runtime for GCC14 compatibility, with its more recent C
      dialect warnings.
    - Support for DW_OP_bra in DWARF location lists, which makes a few
      more $context variables accessible to systemtap.
  
  * SystemTap tapset changes
    - Portability fixes for more recent kernels, as always.
    - set_kernel_string* tapset functions improved range checking.
    - print_ubacktrace_fileline() works with PIE binaries.
    - Many portability improvements and some fixes in the testsuite.
    - Enhancements for the tcp, nfs, memory tapsets.
