- fprobe: Pass return address to the fprobe entry/exit callbacks so that
the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the function
return address.
- kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
flags so that those are not set at once.
- fprobe events:
. Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
exit as a trace event.
. Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a trace
event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed tracepoints.
. Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
. Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify traced
function arguments by name. This also applies the type of argument
when fetching the argument.
. Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This expands
the '$arg*' meta argument to all function argument automatically.
. Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns 'void',
'$retval' is rejected.
. Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events and
BTF support.
. Update documentation about the fprobe events.
. Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.
- selftests for ftrace (except for new fprobe events):
. Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function which
checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal kprobe
can be defined in the same target function.
. Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
can be optimized or not.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
- fprobe: Pass return address to the fprobe entry/exit callbacks so
that the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the
function return address.
- kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
flags so that those are not set at once.
- fprobe events:
- Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
exit as a trace event.
- Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a
trace event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed
tracepoints.
- Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
- Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify
traced function arguments by name. This also applies the type of

- Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This

- Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns

- Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events
and BTF support.
- Update documentation about the fprobe events.
- Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.
- selftests for ftrace (in addition to the new fprobe events):
- Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function
which checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal
kprobe can be defined in the same target function.
- Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
can be optimized or not.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
