Linus Torvalds b7dbc2e813 Probes updates for v6.17:
- Stack usage reduction for probe events:
    - Allocate string buffers from the heap for uprobe, eprobe, kprobe,
      and fprobe events to avoid stack overflow.
    - Allocate traceprobe_parse_context from the heap to prevent
      potential stack overflow.
    - Fix a typo in the above commit.
 
  - New features for eprobe and tprobe events:
    - Add support for arrays in eprobes.
    - Support multiple tprobes on the same tracepoint.
 
  - Improve efficiency:
    - Register fprobe-events only when it is enabled to reduce overhead.
    - Register tracepoints for tprobe events only when enabled to
      resolve a lock dependency.
 
  - Code Cleanup:
    - Add kerneldoc for traceprobe_parse_event_name() and __get_insn_slot().
    - Sort #include alphabetically in the probes code.
    - Remove the unused 'mod' field from the tprobe-event.
    - Clean up the entry-arg storing code in probe-events.
 
  - Selftest update
    - Enable fprobe events before checking enable_functions in selftests.

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.
