commit 5876002191544908925353c6ea20a0335be7e703
Merge: 262f759 64e807c
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Dec 12 15:59:28 2011 +0100

    Merge branch 'master' of ssh://sourceware.org/git/systemtap

commit 262f75989148e759f76f16044677182a218bf680
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
Date:   Mon Dec 12 15:54:59 2011 +0100

    Protect just the transport state with _stp_transport_mutex.
    
    _stp_transport_mutex was held over the whole of _stp_handle_start()
    and _stp_cleanup_and_exit(). This is unnecessary and dangerous since
    some functions that get called could sleep. Add a new state variable
    _stp_start_called and protect just that together with _stp_exit_called
    to make sure _stp_handle_start() and _stp_cleanup_and_exit() are only
    executed once.

commit ab86339871ab6e281cbb3c62ea9b1d5f6a53e1f4
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>

    uprobes.c add rcu_read_lock for pid_task(), rcu_dereference and utrace.
    
    pid_task(), rcu_dereference() and the utrace functions that convert a
    given pid to a task need to be protected by the rcu_read_lock().
