There is some debate about whether it's deemed acceptable to call
dev_err_probe() if you know that the error code can never be
-EPROBE_DEFER. Clarify in the function comments that this is
OK. Specifically this makes us able to transform code like this:
ret = do_something_that_cant_defer();
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(dev, "The foo failed to bar (%pe)\n", ERR_PTR(ret));
return ret;
}
to code like this:
ret = do_something_that_cant_defer();
if (ret < 0)
return dev_err_probe(dev, ret, "The foo failed to bar\n");
It is also possible that in the future folks might want a CONFIG
option to strip out all probe error strings to save space (keeping
non-probe errors) with the argument that probe errors rarely happen
after bringup. Having probe errors reported with a consistent function
would allow that.

The function kobject_create() is only used by one caller,
kobject_create_and_add(), no other driver uses it, nor is exported to
other modules.
However it's still exported in kobject.h, and can sometimes confuse
users of kobject.h.
Since all users should call kobject_create_and_add(), or if extra
attributes are needed, should alloc the memory manually then call
kobject_init_and_add().

Pull more perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Add missing fields and remove some duplicate fields when printing a
perf_event_attr.
- Fix hybrid config terms list corruption.
- Update kernel header copies, some resulted in new kernel features
being automagically added to 'perf trace' syscall/tracepoint argument
id->string translators.
- Add a file generated during the documentation build to .gitignore.
- Add an option to build without libbfd, as some distros, like Debian
consider its ABI unstable.
- Add support to print a textual representation of IBS raw sample data
in 'perf report'.
- Fix bpf 'perf test' sample mismatch reporting
- Fix passing arguments to stackcollapse report in a 'perf script'
python script.
- Allow build-id with trailing zeros.
- Look for ImageBase in PE file to compute .text offset.
