A use-after-free bug was caught by KASAN while running usdt related
code (BCC project. bcc/tests/python/test_usdt2.py):

Annoyingly, modify_user_hw_breakpoint() unnecessarily complicates the
modification of a breakpoint - simplify it and remove the pointless
local variables.

Also update the stale Docbook while at it.

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "Two regression fixes, two bug fixes for older issues, two fixes for
  new functionality added this cycle that have userspace ABI concerns,
  and a small cleanup. These have appeared in a linux-next release and
  have a build success report from the 0day robot.

   * The 4.16 rework of altmap handling led to some configurations
     leaking page table allocations due to freeing from the altmap
     reservation rather than the page allocator.

     The impact without the fix is leaked memory and a WARN() message
     when tearing down libnvdimm namespaces. The rework also missed a
     place where error handling code needed to be removed that can lead
     to a crash if devm_memremap_pages() fails.

   * acpi_map_pxm_to_node() had a latent bug whereby it could
     misidentify the closest online node to a given proximity domain.

   * Block integrity handling was reworked several kernels back to allow
     calling add_disk() after setting up the integrity profile.

     The nd_btt and nd_blk drivers are just now catching up to fix
     automatic partition detection at driver load time.

   * The new peristence_domain attribute, a platform indicator of
     whether cpu caches are powerfail protected for example, is meant to
     be a single value enum and not a set of flags.

     This oversight was caught while reviewing new userspace code in
     libndctl to communicate the attribute.

     Fix this new enabling up so that we are not stuck with an unwanted
     userspace ABI"

* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
  libnvdimm, nfit: fix persistence domain reporting
  libnvdimm, region: hide persistence_domain when unknown
