Linus Torvalds 18ecdd4d0a Probes updates for v7.2
- eprobes: BTF support for dereferencing pointers
   . tracing/eprobes: Allow use of BTF names to dereference pointers. Add syntax
     to the parsing of eprobes to typecast structure pointer trace event fields,
     enabling BTF-based dereferencing instead of relying on manual offsets.
 
 - probes: Improvements and robustness enhancements
   . tracing: Use flexible array for entry fetch code. Store probe entry fetch
     instructions in the probe_entry_arg allocation via a flexible array
     member to simplify memory allocation and lifetime management.
   . tracing: Replace BUG_ON with lockdep_assert_held in uprobe_buffer functions.
     Replace BUG_ON() calls with lockdep_assert_held() in uprobe buffer
     enable/disable paths to prevent kernel crashes and better verify lock ownership.
   . tracing/probes: Ensure the uprobe buffer size is bigger than event size.
     Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() assertion to guarantee that the per-CPU uprobe
     working buffer size is always larger than the maximum probe event size.

 - BTF support for dereferencing pointers

   Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to typecast structure pointer
   trace event fields, enabling BTF-based dereferencing instead of
   relying on manual offsets.

 - Improvements and robustness enhancements

    - Use flexible array for entry fetch code.

      Store probe entry fetch instructions in the probe_entry_arg
      allocation via a flexible array member to simplify memory
      allocation and lifetime management.

    - Replace BUG_ON with lockdep_assert_held in uprobe_buffer functions

      Replace BUG_ON() calls with lockdep_assert_held() in uprobe buffer
      enable/disable paths to prevent kernel crashes and better verify
      lock ownership.

    - Ensure the uprobe buffer size is bigger than event size.

      Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() assertion to guarantee that the per-CPU
      uprobe working buffer size is always larger than the maximum probe
      event size.
