Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data
   structure.

 - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.

 - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.

     - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel
       loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported).

     - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and
       get function parameters) to a separated file.

     - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
       C-like arrow('-&gt;') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next-&gt;pid vruntime=next-&gt;se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval-&gt;name):string'

     - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will
       reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer"
       type.

     - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
       if $retval is used.

 - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.

 - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "User visible changes:

   - Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:

       # echo 'cpumask &amp; CPUS{17-42}' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter

   - Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer
     size via buffer_size_kb.

     Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual size
     rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.

  Major changes:

   - Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and
     dentries of tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of
     events, and each event has several inodes and dentries that
     currently exist even when tracing is never used, they take up
     precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate the inodes and
     dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There is now
     metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will
     create the inodes and dentries when they are used.

     Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data,
     but will wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's
     a little more complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code
     works properly before adding more complexity, making it easier to
     revert if need be.

  Minor changes:

   - Optimization to user event list traversal

   - Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the
     intermediate permission removes all access to the files so it is
     not a security concern, but just a clean up)

   - Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event
     logic

   - Other minor cleanups"

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

   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.

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

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add new feature to have function graph tracer record the return
   value. Adds a new option: funcgraph-retval ; when set, will show the
   return value of a function in the function graph tracer.

 - Also add the option: funcgraph-retval-hex where if it is not set, and
   the return value is an error code, then it will return the decimal of
   the error code, otherwise it still reports the hex value.

 - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu&lt;cpu&gt;/timerlat_fd
   That when a application opens it, it becomes the task that the timer
   lat tracer traces. The application can also read this file to find
   out how it's being interrupted.

 - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/available_filter_functions_addrs
   that works just the same as available_filter_functions but also shows
   the addresses of the functions like kallsyms, except that it gives
   the address of where the fentry/mcount jump/nop is. This is used by
   BPF to make it easier to attach BPF programs to ftrace hooks.

 - Replace strlcpy with strscpy in the tracing boot code.

So fix it.
