trace: Use correct argument index and tgid for filters
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
`trace` would use the incorrect argument index for USDT probes when
filtering specifically, e.g. `trace u:lib:tp (arg1 != 0) ...` would
actually use the type of the 2nd argument, and not the 1st argument
for the type of the filter variable in the generated program. This
could cause compilation errors or subtle bugs where the data would
be either extended or contracted to fit the wrong argument's type.

Additionally, `trace` would use the pid (thread id, `-L`) filter
with the `attach_uprobe` API, which expects a tgid (process id).
As a result, incorrect filtering would happen.
