Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - fprobe: Pass return address to the fprobe entry/exit callbacks so
   that the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the
   function return address.

 - kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
   flags so that those are not set at once.

 - fprobe events:
      - Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
        exit as a trace event.
      - Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a
        trace event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed
        tracepoints.
      - Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
      - Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
        fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify
        traced function arguments by name. This also applies the type of
        argument when fetching the argument.
      - Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This
        expands the '$arg*' meta argument to all function argument
        automatically.
      - Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns
        'void', '$retval' is rejected.
      - Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events
        and BTF support.
      - Update documentation about the fprobe events.
      - Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.

 - selftests for ftrace (in addition to the new fprobe events):
      - Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function
        which checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal
        kprobe can be defined in the same target function.
      - Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
        can be optimized or not.

<title>tracing/probes: Add $arg* meta argument for all function args</title>

Add the '$arg*' meta fetch argument for function-entry probe events. This
will be expanded to the all arguments of the function and the tracepoint
using BTF function argument information.

e.g.
 #  echo 'p vfs_read $arg*' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 #  echo 'f vfs_write $arg*' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 #  echo 't sched_overutilized_tp $arg*' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
p:kprobes/p_vfs_read_0 vfs_read file=file buf=buf count=count pos=pos
f:fprobes/vfs_write__entry vfs_write file=file buf=buf count=count pos=pos
t:tracepoints/sched_overutilized_tp sched_overutilized_tp rd=rd overutilized=overutilized

Also, single '$arg[0-9]*' will be converted to the BTF function argument.

NOTE: This seems like a wildcard, but a fake one at this moment. This
is just for telling user that this can be expanded to several arguments.
And it is not like other $-vars, you can not use this $arg* as a part of
fetch args, e.g. specifying name "foo=$arg*" and using it in dereferences
"+0($arg*)" will lead a parse error.

Support function or tracepoint parameters by name if BTF support is enabled
and the event is for function entry (this feature can be used with kprobe-
events, fprobe-events and tracepoint probe events.)

Note that the BTF variable syntax does not require a prefix. If it starts
with an alphabetic character or an underscore ('_') without a prefix like
'$' and '%', it is considered as a BTF variable.
If you specify only the BTF variable name, the argument name will also
be the same name instead of 'arg*'.

Move trace event parameter fetching code to common parser in
trace_probe.c. This simplifies eprobe's trace-event variable fetching
code by introducing a parse context data structure.

Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe
events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit
even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS,
it is not available if the architecture only supports
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not
probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture.
But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events.

The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function
(symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments
so that user can trace the function arguments and return values.

The fprobe events syntax is here;

 f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS]
 f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS]

E.g.

 # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1'  &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval'  &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
 f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1
 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval
 # echo 1 &gt; events/fprobes/enable
 # head -n 20 trace | tail
 #           TASK-PID     CPU#  |||||  TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION

When parsing a kprobe event, the return probe always sets both
TPARG_FL_RETURN and TPARG_FL_FENTRY, but this is not useful because
some fetchargs are only for return probe and some others only for
function entry. Make it obviously mutual exclusive.

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

No return values were used, so direct replacement with strlcpy is safe.

Each probe has an instance of process_fetch_insn respectively,
but they have something in common.

This patch aims to extract the common part into
process_common_fetch_insn which can be shared by each probe,
and they only need to focus on their special cases.

<title>kernel/trace: Provide default impelentations defined in trace_probe_tmpl.h</title>

There are 6 function definitions in trace_probe_tmpl.h, they are:

1, fetch_store_strlen
2, fetch_store_string
3, fetch_store_strlen_user
4, fetch_store_string_user
5, probe_mem_read
6, probe_mem_read_user

Every C file which includes trace_probe_tmpl.h has to implement them,
otherwise it gets warnings and errors. However, some of them are identical,
like kprobe and eprobe, as a result, there is a lot redundant code in those
2 files.

This patch would like to provide default behaviors for those functions
which kprobe and eprobe can share by just including trace_probe_kernel.h
with trace_probe_tmpl.h together.

It removes redundant code, increases readability, and more importantly,
makes it easier to introduce a new feature based on trace probe
(it's possible).

print_probe_args is currently inplemented in trace_probe_tmpl.h and
included by *probes, as a result, each probe has an identical copy.

This patch will move it to trace_probe.c as an new API, each probe
calls it to print their args in trace file.
