[DTrace-devel] [PATCH 05/14] Add a hook for a provider-specific "update" function

[eugene.loh at oracle.com]

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

For up-coming USDT-probe support, we need to update a BPF map
-- at least when the dtrace session starts but possibly also later
to support systemwide USDT tracing for processes that may start up
later.

One way to do this is with a USDT-specific update function.

For now, let's add a hook for providers to have provider-specific
update functions.  User space can either call

    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(dt_providers); i++) {
        if (dt_providers[i]->update)
            dt_providers[i]->update(...);
    }

any time it likes.  Or it can call dt_usdt.update(...).

This is for WIP.  A different approach can be adopted later instead.
