The utrace structs suffer from a number of use-after-free scenarios,
which cause panics and other mayhem. They can be used in queued-up task
workers after being freed, fetched from task_utrace_struct() and quickly
freed after while still in use, or fetched from task_utrace_struct()
after having already been freed. And utrace->task can be used after the
task struct it points to is freed.
A number of changes are made to remedy the widespread use-after-free
issues. Firstly, utrace structs now have a reference counter to protect
them from being abruptly freed while in use. This guarantees that a
utrace struct will only be freed after everything using it, including
task workers, is finished.
The task struct assigned to each utrace struct is now pinned as well,
making all utrace->task usage safe while the utrace struct is alive.
When utrace exits, all of the possible utrace workers are now canceled
instead of only some of them. Although this mass cancel isn't necessary
now, it's good to do so to speed up utrace exit so that exiting doesn't
require waiting for all of the in-flight workers to finish running. We
are also guaranteed that utrace->task will be valid if the utrace struct
has a positive reference count since the task struct is pinned.
To accommodate for the reference counting, rename get_utrace_bucket() to
find_utrace_bucket() since it doesn't grab any references, and rename
task_utrace_struct() to get_utrace_struct() to indicate that it grabs a
reference on the returned utrace struct.
The utrace_flags member of the utrace struct is reduced from a long to
an int to make room for an atomic reference counter without increasing
the size of the utrace struct. This is fine since there aren't enough
utrace flags to require the use of a long.

Tentative version of user_long_error() for bpf, needs more testing.
NEXT, the __bpf_probe_read_user_error() helper can be used to implement
the other user_{char,short,int} tapset functions.
This patch starts a new practice for tapset layout for tapset functions
that have a lkm/dyninst implementation and a separate bpf implementation:
- The lkm/dyninst implementation is placed in the toplevel tapset/
directory, surrounded by %( runtime != "bpf" %? ... %).
- The bpf implementation is placed in the tapset/bpf/ directory.
Once applied to the rest of the tapsets, this practice should work to
eliminate the current proliferation of two-way
%( runtime != "bpf" %? implementation1 %: implementation2 %)
conditionals in the runtime code, and allow bpf versions of numerous
remaining tapset functions to be implemented and cleanly placed

buildrun: stop adding our own -Wframe-larger-than=XYZ CFLAGS
linux kbuild has included a CONFIG_FRAME_WARN option for some time,
which adds a -Wframe-larger-than=$(...) CFLAGS. Until this patch,
systemtap used to add one of its own, on the theory that our generated
code really should not have large stack frames. This is partly
assured by use of preallocated per-cpu "struct context" structures, so
our warning was a belt-and-suspenders protection. However, this lower
limit is not sufficient any more.
On rawhide (linux 5.11, gcc 11), KASAN etc. makes the stack-frame of
the unwind_frame() function about 700 bytes, which is easily within
the CONFIG_FRAME_WARN but larger than 512. We now just defer to

runtime: utilize relay subbufs as much as possible
The relay subbufs used for printing are used very inefficiently, causing
print messages to be frequently dropped. The cause for this inefficiency
is that every time a print flush occurs, the current subbuf is switched
out even if it isn't filled. We can't wait for a subbuf to fill up
before switching it out either, or messages will be delayed.
To remedy this, we instead check to see if there's any data in any
subbuf and use that as an indicator to staprun to tell if there's data
available to read. Then when staprun attempts to read the data out, we
can switch out the current subbuf if it has data in it. This lets us
squeeze out every bit of storage from the subbufs.
Any print drops experienced after this patch should be fixed by
increasing the subbuf count (_stp_nsubbufs).

stap commit b71d20af819 fixed error messages in bpf assembly
(being broken by implicit deallocation of stack vars on exception throw)
but neglected the fact that visit_embeddedcode can recurse
(via emit_functioncall) such that a single bpf_unparser field for
storing asm_stmts will get overwritten by the recursive call.
Alloc/free a separate statement list per visit_embeddedcode call instead.

Update test for bpf raw tracepoints to work with Linux 5.7 kernels
The kernel commit 70ed506c3bbcfa846d4636b23051ca79fa4781f7 in Linux
5.7 and newer replaced the bpf_raw_tracepoint_release function with
bpf_raw_tp_link_release. This change in function names would cause
SystemTap's test for BPF raw tracepoint support to fail. Updated the
check to look for the newer alternative function name.

Don't warn about freeing a NULL pointer for functions that tolerate it
Passing a NULL pointer to kfree(), vfree(), and free_percpu() is fine
and supported behavior; these functions will just return early when
given a NULL pointer. However, DEBUG_MEM doesn't know about this, and
warns about it even though it isn't a problem. This mutes the warning
from _stp_mem_debug_free() when these functions receive a NULL pointer.

Add stapdyn VMA-tracking.
To handle VMA-tracking in stapdyn: 1) do not emit pragma:vma so the
kernel VMA-tracker is not enabled 2) add a stapdyn version of
_stp_umodule_relocate which 3) uses dwfl_linux_proc_report to find the
appropriate module start 4) relocate the offset. This makes tls

task_finder2: fix task worker race on module unload
Unfortunately, __stp_tf_cancel_all_task_work() does not guarantee that
all of the task finder's task workers will be finished executing when it
returns. In this case, we rely on the stp_task_work API to prevent the
module from being unloaded while there are task workers in-flight, which
works, but the stp_task_work API is notified of a task worker finishing
before it actually finishes. Inside __stp_tf_task_worker_fn(), the
call to the task worker's function (tf_work->func) is where the final
refcount in the stp_task_work API could be put, but there will still be
instructions left in the task worker that will be executing for a short
time after that. In that short time, there can be a race where the
module is unloaded before the task worker finishes executing all of its
instructions, especially if the task worker gets preempted during this
time on a PREEMPT kernel.
To remedy this, we must ensure that the last instruction in
__stp_tf_task_worker_fn() is where the stp_task_work API is notified of
a task worker finishing.

task_finder2: fix list corruption in __stp_tf_cancel_all_task_work()
The previous commit (b26b4e2c2 "task_finder2: fix panics due to broken
task work cancellation") made it possible for the next node in the task
work list to be free, which would made list_for_each_entry_safe() not so
safe anymore. Using list_for_each_entry_safe() is still the fastest
approach here, so when the next node in the list happens to be freed, we
should just restart iteration on the list.

task_finder2: fix panics due to broken task work cancellation
The task_work_cancel() API uses function pointers to uniquely identify
task work structs, so there's no guarantee that a specific task work
struct we want to cancel is the one that will actually get canceled.
This issue would cause task work structs to be freed while they were
still queued up on the task's task-worker list.
This is an example of one such panic, where the DEBUG_MEM feature
reported that a __stp_tf_task_work struct (56 bytes) wasn't freed,
because that specific task worker got canceled and instead an active
task worker got freed!

Work around kernel claims of a function("input_event").inline probe point
Newer Fedora Linux kernels (F32/F33) are claiming a
function("input_event").inline probe point exists and has no
arguments. The build of the stapgames block and eater fail because
the needed arguments are not found. Examined where the claimed inline
input_events functions are with:
stap -v -L 'kernel.function("input_event").*'
There appears to be a bogus one listed inside the callable input_event
function itself. Worked around this by setting the game.input tapset
probe to function("input_event").call to exclude the bogus inline
version. It was verified that the games got input from the keyboard
with this patch.

session.cxx: fix print error dupe-elimination for chained errors
Commit 0e1d5b7eb397 introduced an issue where error messages would be
duplicated, like so:
Before:
--------------------8<--------------------
semantic error: type mismatch (long): identifier 'a' at test.stp:8:5
source: a = 32;
^
semantic error: type was first inferred here (string): identifier 'a' at :4:5
source: a = "stringcheese";
^
The first message would be duplicated because the wrong seen_errors is
checked inside the loop, after that first message would be printed
outside the loop. This fixes the issue by using the same error counter
throughout.

staprun: handle more and fewer cpus better
NR_CPUS was a hard-coded minimum and maximum on the number of CPUs
worth of trace$N files staprun/stapio would open at startup. While a
constant is useful for array sizing (and so might as well be really
large), the actual iteration should be informed by get_nprocs_conf(3).
This patch replaces NR_CPUS with MAX_NR_CPUS (now 1024, why not), and
limits open/thread iterations to the actual number of processors. It
even prints an error if a behemoth >1K-core machine comes into being.
