In 'NOFENTRY_ARGS' test case for syntax check, any offset X of
`vfs_read+X` except function entry offset (0) fits the criterion,
even if that offset is not at instruction boundary, as the parser
comes before probing. But with "ENDBR64" instruction on x86, offset
4 is treated as function entry. So, X can't be 4 as well. Thus, 8
was used as offset for the test case. On 64-bit powerpc though, any
offset &lt;= 16 can be considered function entry depending on build
configuration (see arch_kprobe_on_func_entry() for implementation
details). So, use `vfs_read+20` to accommodate that scenario too.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use
   with kretprobes

   With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and
   kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is
   required.

   Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph
   infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass
   data from the entry callback to the exit callback.

   Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph
   shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window.

 - Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE.

   Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its
   use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory.

 - Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache.

   When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a
   shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size.
   Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will
   still be efficient in allocations.

 - Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to
   fgraph

 - Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions

 - Add more comments and documentation

 - Show function return address in function graph tracer

   Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the
   function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does.

 - Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs

   ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the
   registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and
   return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around
   pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the
   pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an
   abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through
   accessor functions.

 - Show how long it takes to do function code modifications

   When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the
   time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this
   value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new
   ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the
   modifications and had a significant impact on boot times.

   Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was
   created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such
   to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file
   to store the timings of this modification as well. This will make it
   easier to see the impact of changes to code modification on boot up
   timings.

 - Other clean ups and small fixes

The addition of recording both the function name and return address to the
function graph tracer updated the selftest to check for "=-5" from "= -5".
But this causes the test to fail on certain configs, as "= -5" is still a
value that can be returned if function addresses are not enabled (older kernels).

Check for both "=-5" and " -5" as a success value.

Masami reported a bug when running function graph tracing then the
function profiler. The following commands would cause a kernel crash:

  # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
  # echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
  # echo 1 &gt; function_profile_enabled

In that order. Create a test to test this two to make sure this does not
come back as a regression.

<title>function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address</title>

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.

This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.

To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '&lt;-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.

A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.

See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.

This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.

To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '&lt;-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.

A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.

See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0
load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0:

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - uprobes: make trace_uprobe-&gt;nhit counter a per-CPU one

   This makes uprobe event's hit counter per-CPU for improving
   scalability on multi-core environment

 - kprobes: Remove obsoleted declaration for init_test_probes

   Remove unused init_test_probes() from header

 - Raw tracepoint probe supports raw tracepoint events on modules:
     - add a function for iterating over all tracepoints in all modules
     - add a function for iterating over tracepoints in a module
     - support raw tracepoint events on modules
     - support raw tracepoints on future loaded modules
     - add a test for tracepoint events on modules"

Add a test case for tracepoint events on modules. This checks if it can add
and remove the events correctly.

Support raw tracepoint events on future loaded (unloaded) modules.
This allows user to create raw tracepoint events which can be used from
module's __init functions.

Note: since the kernel does not have any information about the tracepoints
in the unloaded modules, fprobe events can not check whether the tracepoint
exists nor extend the BTF based arguments.

<title>selftests/ftrace: Fix eventfs ownership testcase to find mount point</title>

Fix eventfs ownership testcase to find mount point if stat -c "%m" failed.
This can happen on the system based on busybox. In this case, this will
try to use the current working directory, which should be a tracefs top
directory (and eventfs is mounted as a part of tracefs.)
If it does not work, the test is skipped as UNRESOLVED because of
the environmental problem.
