Subject: [PATCH v8 02/11] fprobe: Add ftrace based probe APIs

From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 20:54:29 +0900

The fprobe is a wrapper API for ftrace function tracer.
Unlike kprobes, this probes only supports the function entry, but this
can probe multiple functions by one fprobe. The usage is similar, user
will set their callback to fprobe::entry_handler and call
register_fprobe*() with probed functions.
There are 3 registration interfaces,

 - register_fprobe() takes filtering patterns of the functin names.
 - register_fprobe_ips() takes an array of ftrace-location addresses.
 - register_fprobe_syms() takes an array of function names.

The registered fprobes can be unregistered with unregister_fprobe().
e.g.

struct fprobe fp = { .entry_handler = user_handler };
const char *targets[] = { "func1", "func2", "func3"};
...

ret = register_fprobe_syms(&fp, targets, ARRAY_SIZE(targets));

...

unregister_fprobe(&fp);

 Changes in v8:
  - Remove ftrace_ops if CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=n.
 Changes in v7:
  - Fix kerneldoc for the APIs.
 Changes in v6:
  - Remove syms, addrs, and nentry fields from struct fprobe.
  - Introduce 3 variants of registration functions.
  - Call ftrace_free_filter() at unregistration.

 Changes in v4:
  - Fix a memory leak when symbol lookup failed.
  - Use ftrace location address instead of symbol address.
  - Convert the given symbol address to ftrace location automatically.
  - Rename fprobe::ftrace to fprobe::ops.
  - Update the Kconfig description.
