UST should be upgraded to a newer version. We changed the list.h header
in URCU to ensure we minimize the amount of namespace conflicts, and we
had to change UST accordingly. Sorry for the trouble, but we had to do
this change in order to facilitate instrumentation of large code-bases
like MariaDB.

Please note that if you upgrade UST, you will also have to update your
QEMU tracepoint probes to add an additionnal argument, as described in
the UST changelogs.

Thanks,

Mathieu
