- Upgrade to version 5.0 (bsc#1223327):
  * Performance improvements in uprobe registration and module startup.
  * More probe point process details are printed in "-L" list mode with
    more "-v".
  * For the case where newer kernels may break systemtap runtime APIs,
    better pass-4 failure diagnostics are printed.
  * Tapset function print_ubacktrace_fileline() now understands DWARF5.
  * The target(s) of process probes may be specified by path name
    globs, as located selected debuginfod servers.  This requires the
    debuginfod servers to support "metadata" queries.  The following
    probes all of the binaries matching /usr/*/curl known to the
    debuginfod servers, regardless of what's currently installed as the
    system /usr/bin/curl:
      # export DEBUGINFOD_URLS="URL1 URL2 ..."
      # stap -e 'probe debuginfod.process("/usr/*/curl").begin { log("hi") }'
    The archive glob may be given as an optional component to filter further:
      # stap -e 'probe debuginfod.archive("*.fc38*")
                 .process("/usr/*/c*").function("main") { log("Hello World") }'
  * The kernel-user message transport system added framing codes,
    making the transport more reliable, but becoming incompatible
    across pre-5.0 versions.  Use matching versions of stap and
    staprun.
  * RHEL6, kernel 2.6.32* as well as older releases have been
    deprecated from the codebase.  RHEL7 and kernel version 3.10 are
    now the oldest supported versions for Systemtap.
  * The testsuite Makefile has been simplified to remove concurrency,
    so "parallel" and "resume" modes are gone.
  * New runtime macro STP_TIMING_NSECS is now supported for reporting
    probe timing stats in nsecs instead of cycles.  This may become
    default later.
  * Add new runtime macro STP_FORCE_STDOUT_TTY to override
    STP_STDOUT_NOT_ATTY.
- Unlike OpenSUSE, SLE has no libdebufinfod.  
  However detection for the !libdebuginfod case is broken:
  New patch: configure.ac-fix-broken-libdebuginfod-library-auto-detection.patch
