Subject: [GIT PULL] probes: Update for v6.18

Hi Linus,

Probes for v6.18:

- fprobe: Performance enhancement of the fprobe using rhltable
  . fprobe: use rhltable for fprobe_ip_table. The fprobe IP table has
    been converted to use an rhltable for improved performance when
    dealing with a large number of probed functions.
  . Fix a suspicious RCU usage warning of the above change in the
    fprobe entry handler.
  . Remove an unused local variable of the above change.
  . Fix to initialize fprobe_ip_table in core_initcall().

- wprobe: Introduce a watchpoint probe event based on hw_breakpoint.
  . Add a new watchpoint probe that uses hardware breakpoints to
    monitor memory accesses. This allows for tracing memory reads
    and writes at specified addresses.
  . Add a basic add/remove test case for wprobe.
  . Add a syntax test case for wprobe.

- probes: Cleanup probe event subsystems.
  . uprobe/eprobe: Allocate traceprobe_parse_context per probe instead
    of each probe argument parsing. This reduce memory allocation/free
    of temporary working memory.
  . uprobes: Cleanup code using __free().
  . eprobes: Cleanup code using __free().
  . probes: Cleanup code using __free(trace_probe_log_clear) to clear
    error log automatically.
  . probes: Replace strcpy() with memcpy() in __trace_probe_log_err().
