Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
"BTF typecasting and variable fetch enhancements:
- Typecast support across probe events: Extended BTF typecasting
syntax (e.g., (STRUCT)PARAM->MEMBER) to kprobes, uprobes, and
fprobes on function entry and return
- Nested typecasts: Added support for chaining and nesting typecasts
up to 3 levels, including casting registers and stack variables
- Field specifier option: Added (STRUCT,FIELD) syntax to emulate
container_of(), allowing retrieval of parent structures from member
pointers
- $current variable support: Introduced $current special variable to
access the running task_struct via BTF dereferencing
- Per-CPU variable access: Added this_cpu_read() and this_cpu_ptr()
fetcharg methods to trace CPU-local data safely
- Fetcharg bytecode dumper: Added CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_DUMP_FETCHARG
to dump the compiled fetcharg bytecode instructions as comments in
dynamic_events
- Extended symbol name handling: Removed the MAX_COMMON_HEAD_LEN
limit and extended MAX_ARGSTR_LEN to 256 bytes, enabling probing of
long symbols, mangled Rust symbols and complex BTF expressions
- eprobe variable syntax: Allowed eprobes to reference event fields
directly without requiring a '$' prefix
- Cleanup unused parameters, redundant codes, duplicate macros and
pointer arithmetic
- Use a ternary operator for simplifying fetch_type_from_btf_type()
Expanded boot time dynamic probe support:
- Add boot-time tracing configuration support for event probes
(eprobes), function probes (fprobes), and tracepoint probes
(tprobes)
- Allow comment lines ('#') in dynamic_events file
Optimization, robustness, and cleanups:
- Simplify fprobe_remove_ips() by reusing graph and ftrace helpers
- Remove __packed attribute from struct __fprobe_header to avoid
unaligned memory access penalties on RISC architectures
- Remove redundant memset() calls in perf event probe handlers
- Replace legacy __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ in header files
Selftests & refactoring:
- Refactor parse_probe_arg() and parse_probe_vars(), and eliminate
recursion in probe argument parsing to protect kernel stack depth
- Add selftests for BTF typecasts and module probing without module
prefixes
- Force LC_ALL=C in ftracetest to prevent test failures on localized
systems
- Refactor btf_type_skip_modifiers() to remove ignored id parameter
- Sort ERRORS list in trace_probe.h alphabetically
- Fix typo in fprobe docs, and trace_fprobe function name
- Rename FETCH_OP_DATA to FETCH_OP_IMMSTR
- Make file offset error message probe-agnostic"
