- x96/kprobes: Use boolean for some function return instead of 0 and 1.
- x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on INT/UD. This prevents user to put kprobe on
INTn/INT1/INT3/INTO and UD0/UD1/UD2 because these are used for a special
purpose in the kernel.
- x86/kprobes: Boost Grp instructions. Because a few percent of kernel
instructions are Grp 2/3/4/5 and those are safe to be executed without
ip register fixup, allow those to be boosted (direct execution on the
trampoline buffer with a JMP).
- tracing/probes: Add function argument access from return events (kretprobe
and fprobe). This allows user to compare how a data structure field is
changed after executing a function. With BTF, return event also accepts
function argument access by name. This also includes below patches;
. Fix a wrong comment (using "Kretprobe" in fprobe)
. Cleanup a big probe argument parser function into three parts, type
parser, post-processing function, and main parser.
. Cleanup to set nr_args field when initializing trace_probe instead of
counting up it while parsing.
. Cleanup a redundant #else block from tracefs/README source code.
. Update selftests to check entry argument access from return probes.
. Documentation update about entry argument access from return probes.

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.
