 "Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users

  Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user
  attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph
  tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing
  function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for
  since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so
  it never happened. Until now!

  There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is
  kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function
  graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes
  uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a
  shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it
  possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs
  that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed.
  BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method
  doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would
  improve that.

  By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both
  kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This
  will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version
  will no longer be needed.

  Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users,
  due to shadow stack size and allocated slots"

Change the default threshold for osnoise to 1us, so that any noise
equal or above this value is recorded. Let the user set a higher
threshold if necessary.

Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Add ring_buffer memory mappings.

  The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with
  the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers
  and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer
  that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the
  swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory
  into other mediums (file system, network, etc).

  The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the
  kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space
  task itself.

  A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring
  buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader
  sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change
  which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer.

  The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the
  ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer
  that the writer will not write over.

  A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an
  example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to
  the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is
  disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be
  enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used
  for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being
  mapped.

  Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can
  not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped,
  snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots
  on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped"

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
   dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'

 - uprobes performance optimizations:
    - Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
      uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF
    - Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is
      valid
    - Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of
      spinlock for uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe
      benchmark result 43% on average

 - rethook: Remove non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from
   BPF and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible

 - objpool: Optimize objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
   rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching
   nr_cpu_ids because it is a const value

 - fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)

 - kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace

* tag 'probes-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
  kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed
  selftests/ftrace: Fix required features for VFS type test case
  objpool: cache nr_possible_cpus() and avoid caching nr_cpu_ids
  objpool: enable inlining objpool_push() and objpool_pop() operations
  rethook: honor CONFIG_FTRACE_VALIDATE_RCU_IS_WATCHING in rethook_try_get()
  ftrace: make extra rcu_is_watching() validation check optional
  uprobes: reduce contention on uprobes_tree access
  rethook: Remove warning messages printed for finding return address of a frame.
  fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types
  selftests/ftrace: add fprobe test cases for VFS type "%pd" and "%pD"
  selftests/ftrace: add kprobe test cases for VFS type "%pd" and "%pD"
  Documentation: tracing: add new type '%pd' and '%pD' for kprobe
  tracing/probes: support '%pD' type for print struct file's name
  tracing/probes: support '%pd' type for print struct dentry's name
  uprobes: add speculative lockless system-wide uprobe filter check
  uprobes: prepare uprobe args buffer lazily
  uprobes: encapsulate preparation of uprobe args buffer

It is now possible to mmap() a ring-buffer to stream its content. Add
some documentation and a code example.

To allow for assigning a suitable parent to the struct pmu device
update the documentation to describe the device via the event_source
bus where it will remain accessible.

For the ABI documention file also rename the file as it is named
after the path.
