Merge tag 'probes-v6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
"x86 kprobes:
- Use boolean for some function return instead of 0 and 1
- Prohibit probing on INT/UD. This prevents user to put kprobe on
INTn/INT1/INT3/INTO and UD0/UD1/UD2 because these are used for a
special purpose in the kernel
- Boost Grp instructions. Because a few percent of kernel
instructions are Grp 2/3/4/5 and those are safe to be executed
without ip register fixup, allow those to be boosted (direct
execution on the trampoline buffer with a JMP)
tracing:
- Add function argument access from return events (kretprobe and
fprobe). This allows user to compare how a data structure field is
changed after executing a function. With BTF, return event also
accepts function argument access by name.
- Fix a wrong comment (using "Kretprobe" in fprobe)
- Cleanup a big probe argument parser function into three parts, type
parser, post-processing function, and main parser
- Cleanup to set nr_args field when initializing trace_probe instead
of counting up it while parsing
- Cleanup a redundant #else block from tracefs/README source code
- Update selftests to check entry argument access from return probes
- Documentation update about entry argument access from return
probes"
