Add a note about the argument and return value accecss will be best
effort. Depending on the type, it will be passed via stack or a
pair of the registers, but $argN and $retval only support the
single register access.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove eventfs_file descriptor

   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
   create its files dynamically.

   In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
   mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file
   inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories
   were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by
   a eventfs_file.

   In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
   directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc
   files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs
   directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback.

   When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of
   evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks
   to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so
   that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback
   then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create
   this file.

   This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
   instances down by 2 megs each!

 - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a
   single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even
   if no process is attached to them

 - Clean up of seq_buf

   There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and
   friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf
   to be able to do this

 - Expand instance ring buffers individually

   Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
   enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
   top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
   memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance

 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

* tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (34 commits)
  seq_buf: Export seq_buf_puts()
  seq_buf: Export seq_buf_putc()
  eventfs: Use simple_recursive_removal() to clean up dentries

   - Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
     series 'Fixes and cleanups to compaction'

   - Joel Fernandes has a patchset ('Optimize mremap during mutual
     alignment within PMD') which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
     pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
     implementation which Linus suggested

   - More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i
     the following patch series:

     Hunter provides some fixups for the recently-added 'unaccepted
     memory' feature. To increase the feature's checking coverage. 'Plug
     a few gaps where RAM is exposed without checking if it is
     unaccepted memory'

   - In the series 'cleanups for lockless slab shrink' Qi Zheng has done
     some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab

     manipulation' Zi Yan has fixed a potential issue with the direct
     manipulation of hugetlb page frames

   - In the series 'mm: hugetlb: Skip initialization of gigantic tail
     struct pages if freed by HVO' has improved our handling of gigantic

     added statistics for memcg v1 users which are available (and
     useful) under memcg v2

   - Florent Revest has enhanced the MDWE (Memory-Deny-Write-Executable)

     Roesch makes is possible for a process to propagate KSM treatment
     across exec()

   - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
     distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
     bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
     Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
     calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'

     in the series 'Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition'

   - As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
     automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the
     series 'mm: PCP high auto-tuning'

     cpupid functions to folios'

   - Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series 'Some bugfix about
     kmemleak'

     them off the allocation fallback list. This is done in the series
     'handle memoryless nodes more appropriately'

   - khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series 'Some
     khugepaged folio conversions'"

[ bcachefs conflicts with the dynamically allocated shrinkers have been
  resolved as per Stephen Rothwell in

     https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913093553.4290421e@canb.auug.org.au/

Pull ia64 removal and asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann:

 - The ia64 architecture gets its well-earned retirement as planned,
   now that there is one last (mostly) working release that will be
   maintained as an LTS kernel.

 - The architecture specific system call tables are updated for the
   added map_shadow_stack() syscall and to remove references to the
   long-gone sys_lookup_dcookie() syscall.

This isolate_mode_t flag is effectively unused since 89f6c88a6ab4 ("mm:
__isolate_lru_page_prepare() in isolate_migratepages_block()") as
sc-&gt;may_unmap is now checked directly (and only node_reclaim has a mode
that sets it to 0).  The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter.  That one was mainly used to
indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl
script consumed, but that got silently broken.  After fixing the script by
the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore.  So just
remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

The script has fallen behind tracepoint changes for a while, fix it up.

Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters
that are not used by the script).  More notable change involves
mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if
the inactive list is being scanned.  However the parameter currently only
indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED.  We can use the lru parameter instead to
determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.

Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for
that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by
utilizing the persist flag during event register.

Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can
be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering
for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the
required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a
persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data
   structure.

 - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.

 - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.

     - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel
       loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported).

     - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and
       get function parameters) to a separated file.

     - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
       C-like arrow('-&gt;') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next-&gt;pid vruntime=next-&gt;se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval-&gt;name):string'

     - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will
       reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer"
       type.

     - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
       if $retval is used.

 - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.

 - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.
