Merge tag 'probes-v7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - BTF support for dereferencing pointers

   Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to typecast structure pointer
   trace event fields, enabling BTF-based dereferencing instead of
   relying on manual offsets.

 - Improvements and robustness enhancements

    - Use flexible array for entry fetch code.

      Store probe entry fetch instructions in the probe_entry_arg
      allocation via a flexible array member to simplify memory
      allocation and lifetime management.

    - Replace BUG_ON with lockdep_assert_held in uprobe_buffer functions

      Replace BUG_ON() calls with lockdep_assert_held() in uprobe buffer
      enable/disable paths to prevent kernel crashes and better verify
      lock ownership.

    - Ensure the uprobe buffer size is bigger than event size.

      Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() assertion to guarantee that the per-CPU
      uprobe working buffer size is always larger than the maximum probe
      event size.
