Add nr_maxactive to specify rethook_node pool size. This means
the maximum number of actively running target functions concurrently
for probing by exit_handler. Note that if the running function is
preempted or sleep, it is still counted as 'active'.

Pass the private entry_data to the entry and exit handlers so that
they can share the context data, something like saved function

User must specify the private entry_data size by @entry_data_size

<content type='text'>
Since commit ab51e15d535e ("fprobe: Introduce FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag
for fprobe") introduced fprobe_kprobe_handler() for fprobe::ops::func,
unregister_fprobe() fails to unregister the registered if user specifies
FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag.
Moreover, __register_ftrace_function() is possible to change the
ftrace_ops::func, thus we have to check fprobe::ops::saved_func instead.

To check it correctly, it should confirm the fprobe::ops::saved_func is
either fprobe_handler() or fprobe_kprobe_handler().

<id>ab51e15d535e07be9839e0df056a4ebe9c5bac83</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag for sharing fprobe callback with
kprobes safely from the viewpoint of recursion.

Since the recursion safety of the fprobe (and ftrace) is a bit different
from the kprobes, this may cause an issue if user wants to run the same
code from the fprobe and the kprobes.

The kprobes has per-cpu 'current_kprobe' variable which protects the
kprobe handler from recursion in any case. On the other hand, the fprobe
uses only ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(), which will allow interrupt
context calls another (or same) fprobe during the fprobe user handler is
running.

This is not a matter in cases if the common callback shared among the
kprobes and the fprobe has its own recursion detection, or it can handle
the recursion in the different contexts (normal/interrupt/NMI.)
But if it relies on the 'current_kprobe' recursion lock, it has to check
kprobe_running() and use kprobe_busy_*() APIs.

Fprobe has FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag to do this. If your common callback
code will be shared with kprobes, please set FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED
*before* registering the fprobe, like;

 fprobe.flags = FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED;

 register_fprobe(&amp;fprobe, "func*", NULL);

This will protect your common callback from the nested call.
