for() to simplify the for_each_insn_prefix() iterator to no longer

<id>23ef9d439769d5f35353650e771c63d13824235b</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).

Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

Instead of overriding this method, add EXECMEM_KPROBES entry in

Unlike sync_core(), text_poke_sync() is a very heavy operation, as
it sends an IPI to every online CPU in the system and waits for
completion.

Reflect this in the name.

Cleanup kprobes on ftrace code for x86.
 - Set instruction pointer (ip + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE) after pre_handler only
   when p-&gt;post_handler exists.
 - Use INT3_INSN_SIZE instead of 1.
 - Use instruction_pointer/instruction_pointer_set() functions instead of
   accessing regs-&gt;ip directly.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
   dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'

 - uprobes performance optimizations:
    - Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
      uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF
    - Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is
      valid
    - Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of
      spinlock for uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe
      benchmark result 43% on average

 - rethook: Remove non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from
   BPF and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible

 - objpool: Optimize objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
   rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching
   nr_cpu_ids because it is a const value

 - fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)

 - kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
   dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'

 - uprobes performance optimizations:
    - Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
      uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF
    - Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is
      valid
    - Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of
      spinlock for uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe
      benchmark result 43% on average

 - rethook: Remove non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from
   BPF and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible

 - objpool: Optimize objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
   rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching
   nr_cpu_ids because it is a const value

 - fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)

 - kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace
