Just an FYI that support was added to the upstream user space SDT probes 
to indicate that an argument can be a float argument.  SDT probes are 
recorded in the .note.stapsdt section and the syntax of a probes' 
argument is:
  [-][Size][f]@[Address]
where:
  '-' is optional and indicates a signed type
  Size is the sizeof() the type
  'f' is optional and indicates a float type
      This is a new syntax feature
  Address is typically one of:
   Literal | Register | Offset(Register) | Register,Register |
   Offset(Register,Register)
