    linux 5.0-rc3 adaptations

should help

We're planning to release stap 4.1 within days, with this fix (and
including up to kernel 5.1 support).

Title:
  Systemtap stapconf header is not generated

Status in systemtap package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.10 to Ubuntu 19.04. Systemtap does not
  compile scripts any more. It reports that stapconf_[random].h header
  file does not exist. The Makefile in /tmp/stap[random]/ does exist,
  but for some reason the C header is not being generated.

  The systemtap script I am using contains the following probes:

  global p_count = 0
      probe kprocess.create {
          p_count += 1
          //printf("Process: %s - PID: %d - Created PID: %d - Created TID: %d - Parent process: %d - Parent name: %s - Processes created: %d\n",execname(),pid(),new_pid,new_tid,ppid(),pid2execname(ppid()),p_count)
      }

      probe socket.create {
          printf("Process socket: %s - PID: %d - Parent process: %s - PPID: %d\n",execname(),pid(),pid2execname(ppid()),ppid())
      }

  It worked in Ubuntu 18.10. But not in 19.04. I have compiled Systemtap
  4.0 from source and reports the same error.
