The original pull message for uprobes (commit 654443e2) noted:
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
In order to actually be usable in module-based tools like SystemTap, the
interface needs to be exported. This patch first adds the obvious
exports for uprobe_register and uprobe_unregister. Then it also adds
one for task_user_regset_view, which is necessary to get the correct
state of userspace registers.
