Subject: [GIT PULL] probes: Updates for 6.6

Hi Linus,

Probes updates for v6.6:

- 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('->') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
    't sched_switch next=next->pid vruntime=next->se.vruntime'
  . Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
      'f getname_flags%return +0($retval->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.
