As well as using dtrace -G to generate USDT probes, programs and
libraries may have added static probes via stapsdt ELF notes.
This series adds support for such probes.  Patch 1 prepares for
this support by adding counting to parsing of stapsdt probe args
(since they do not include an explicit arg count); Patch 2 adds
the support, while patches 3-6 add tests covering that support.

Changes since v4:

- fix up address computation to work for libraries and -fPIE
  binaries; add a test for the latter (Kris, patches 2,6)
- do mapfile, Paddr_to_map() lookups once for stapsdt probes
  (Kris, patch 2)

Changes since v3:

- merged with USDT ELF note changes; since these use the same
argument-parsing/access code, no need to add code for this now (patch 2)
- updated said ELF note parsing to count as well as parse arguments
since stapsdt probes do not provide an arg count (patch 1)
- added explicit stapsdt provider to reflect that stapsdt probes
are fundamentally different and do not auto-register for discovery
via ioctl (patch 2, Kris)
- added simple pid wildcarding support for /proc map parsing.

Changes since v2:

- updated terminology to distinguish stapsdt from USDT probes

Alan Maguire (6):
  usdt: have copy_args() count args while parsing them
  support stapsdt ELF-note-defined static probes
  selftests/usdt: add test for stapsdt note-defined probe firing, args
  selftests/usdt: add test for stapsdt notes in shared library
  selftests/usdt: add test covering different forms of stapsdt note args
  selftests/usdt: add test for stapsdt note-defined probe firing in
    -fPIE binary
