Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:
"fprobe bug fixes:
- Prevent re-registration
Add an earlier check to reject re-registering an already active
fprobe before its state is modified during the initialization phase
- Robustness in failure paths:
- Ensure fprobes are correctly removed from all internal tables
and properly RCU-freed during registration failure
- Make unregister_fprobe() proceed with unregistration even if
temporary memory allocation fails
- RCU safety in module unloading
Avoid a potential "sleep in RCU" warning by removing a kcalloc()
call in the module notifier path. This also tries to remove
fprobe_hash_node even if memory allocation fails.
- Type-aware unregistration
Fix a bug where unregistering an fprobe did not account for
different types (entry-only vs entry-exit) at the same address,
which previously left "junk" entries in the underlying
ftrace/fgraph ops
- Unregistration of empty ftrace_ops
Avoid unneeded performance overhead due to making registered
ftrace_ops empty - which means 'trace all functions'. This counts
remaining entries and unregister ftrace_ops when it becomes empty.
Two new selftests to check above fixes:
- Module Unloading Test:
Specifically verifies that fprobe events on a module are correctly
cleaned up and do not trigger 'trace-all' behavior when the module
is removed.
- Multiple Fprobe Events Test:
Ensure that having multiple fprobes on the same function correctly
manages the ftrace hash map during removal"
