[PATCH v5 00/12] tracing: fprobe: rethook: Use ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

Hi,

Here is the 5th version of the series to use ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs
in fprobe.
The previous version is here;

https://lore.kernel.org/all/169280372795.282662.9784422934484459769.stgit@devnote2/

In this version, I decided to use perf's own per-cpu pt_regs array to
copy the required registers[8/12]. Thus this version adds a patch which
adds a new ftrace_fill_perf_regs() API. So the ftrace_partial_regs() will
be used for BPF and ftrace_fill_perf_regs() is used for perf events.

This also adds a fix for RISCV ftrace[1/12]. When kernel is built with
disabling CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on RISCV, it stores partial
registers on the stack, but it doesn't make it fit to struct ftrace_regs.
But since the 4th argument of ftrace_func_t is ftrace_regs *, it breaks
the ABI. So fixing it to save registers on ftrace_regs (== pt_regs on RISCV).

Another new patch [3/12] is adding a comment about the requirements for
the ftrace_regs.

 - RISCV ftrace fix to save registers on struct ftrace_regs correctly.
 - Document fix for the current fprobe callback prototype.
 - Add a comment of requirement for the ftrace_regs.
 - Simply replace pt_regs in fprobe_entry_handler with ftrace_regs.
 - Expose ftrace_regs even if CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n.
 - Introduce ftrace_partial_regs(). (This changes ARM64 which needs a custom
   implementation)
 - Introduce ftrace_fill_perf_regs() for perf pt_regs.
 - Replace pt_regs in rethook and fprobe_exit_handler with ftrace_regs. This
   introduce a new HAVE_PT_REGS_TO_FTRACE_REGS_CAST which means ftrace_regs is
   just a wrapper of pt_regs (except for arm64, other architectures do this)
 - Update fprobe-events to use ftrace_regs natively.
 - Update bpf multi-kprobe handler use ftrace_partial_regs().
 - Update document for new fprobe callbacks.
 - Add notes for the $argN and $retval.

This series can be applied against the trace-v6.6-rc2 on linux-trace tree.

This series can also be found below branch.
