[Bug translator/10228] New: Add more vma-tracking for user space symbol/backtraces

- Reply-to: sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org
Currently stap only adds a vma-tracker for processes that have a function probe
placed on them. That means address/symbol resolution and backtraces only work
for processes for which a probe is explicitly placed. To make this work more
smoothly a couple of extensions/defaults could be added:
- If -c <target> is given a vma-tracker should be placed on the target process
(and its children?)
- If -d <process> is given a vma-tracker should be placed on that process.
- If no -c (and no -d?) option is given a vma-tracker should be added to all
running processes on the system.
This is in addition to the vma-trackers placed on processes that are explicitly
probed through function/syscall/itrace probes (and duplicate engines should be
eliminated, but the vma-tracker layer should already take care of that).
