Merge tag 'probes-v6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

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('->') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next->pid vruntime=next->se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval->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.

+``$retval`` is rejected.
+
+You can access the data fields of a data structure using allow operator ``->``
+(for pointer type) and dot operator ``.`` (for data structure type.)::
+
+# echo 't sched_switch preempt prev_pid=prev->pid next_pid=next->pid' >> dynamic_events
+
+The field access operators, ``->`` and ``.`` can be combined for accessing deeper
+members and other structure members pointed by the member. e.g. ``foo->bar.baz->qux``
+If there is non-name union member, you can directly access it as the C code does.
+For example::
+
+ struct {
+	union {
+	int a;
+	int b;
+	};
+ } *foo;
+
+To access ``a`` and ``b``, use ``foo->a`` and ``foo->b`` in this case.
+
+This data field access is available for the return value via ``$retval``,
+e.g. ``$retval->name``.
+
+For these BTF arguments and fields, ``:string`` and ``:ustring`` change the
+behavior. If these are used for BTF argument or field, it checks whether
+the BTF type of the argument or the data field is ``char *`` or ``char []``,
+or not.  If not, it rejects applying the string types. Also, with the BTF
+support, you don't need a memory dereference operator (``+0(PTR)``) for
+accessing the string pointed by a ``PTR``. It automatically adds the memory
+dereference operator according to the BTF type. e.g. ::
+
+# echo 't sched_switch prev->comm:string' >> dynamic_events
+# echo 'f getname_flags%return $retval->name:string' >> dynamic_events
+
+The ``prev->comm`` is an embedded char array in the data structure, and
+``$retval->name`` is a char pointer in the data structure. But in both
+cases, you can use ``:string`` type to get the string.
