Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu: "x86 kprobes: - Use boolean for some function return instead of 0 and 1 - Prohibit probing on INT/UD. This prevents user to put kprobe on INTn/INT1/INT3/INTO and UD0/UD1/UD2 because these are used for a special purpose in the kernel - Boost Grp instructions. Because a few percent of kernel instructions are Grp 2/3/4/5 and those are safe to be executed without ip register fixup, allow those to be boosted (direct execution on the trampoline buffer with a JMP) tracing: - Add function argument access from return events (kretprobe and fprobe). This allows user to compare how a data structure field is changed after executing a function. With BTF, return event also accepts function argument access by name. - Fix a wrong comment (using "Kretprobe" in fprobe) - Cleanup a big probe argument parser function into three parts, type parser, post-processing function, and main parser - Cleanup to set nr_args field when initializing trace_probe instead of counting up it while parsing - Cleanup a redundant #else block from tracefs/README source code - Update selftests to check entry argument access from return probes - Documentation update about entry argument access from return probes" * tag 'probes-v6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: Documentation: tracing: Add entry argument access at function exit selftests/ftrace: Add test cases for entry args at function exit tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe) tracing: Remove redundant #else block for BTF args from README tracing/probes: cleanup: Set trace_probe::nr_args at trace_probe_init tracing/probes: Cleanup probe argument parser tracing/fprobe-event: cleanup: Fix a wrong comment in fprobe event x86/kprobes: Boost more instructions from grp2/3/4/5 x86/kprobes: Prohibit kprobing on INT and UD x86/kprobes: Refactor can_{probe,boost} return type to bool
