Linus Torvalds 544521d621 Probes updates for v6.14:
- kprobes: Cleanups using guard() and __free(): Use cleanup.h macros
   to cleanup code and remove all gotos from kprobes code. This work
   includes below changes.
   . kprobes: Adopt guard() and scoped_guard()
   . jump_label: Define guard() for jump_label_lock
   . kprobes: Use guard() for external locks
   . kprobes: Use guard for rcu_read_lock
   . kprobes: Remove unneeded goto
   . kprobes: Remove remaining gotos
 
 - tracing/probes: Also cleanups tracing/*probe events code with guard()
   and __free(). These patches are just to simplify the parser codes.
   This work includes below changes.
   . tracing/kprobe: Adopt guard() and scoped_guard()
   . tracing/uprobe: Adopt guard() and scoped_guard()
   . tracing/eprobe: Adopt guard() and scoped_guard()
   . tracing: Use __free() in trace_probe for cleanup
   . tracing: Use __free() for kprobe events to cleanup
   . tracing/kprobes: Simplify __trace_kprobe_create() by removing gotos
 
 - kprobes: Reduce preempt disable scope in check_kprobe_access_safe()
   This reduces preempt disable time only when getting the module
   refcount in check_kprobe_access_safe(). Previously it disabled
   preempt needlessly for other checks including
   jump_label_text_reserved(), but it took long time because of
   the linear search.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
