Fix to allocate fprobe::entry_data_size buffer with rethook instances.
If fprobe doesn't allocate entry_data_size buffer for each rethook instance,
fprobe entry handler can cause a buffer overrun when storing entry data in
entry handler.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
 "Cleanups:

   - kprobes: Fixes typo in kprobes samples

   - tracing/eprobes: Remove 'break' after return

  kretprobe/fprobe performance improvements:

   - lib: Introduce new `objpool`, which is a high performance lockless
     object queue. This uses per-cpu ring array to allocate/release
     objects from the pre-allocated object pool.

     Since the index of ring array is a 32bit sequential counter, we can
     retry to push/pop the object pointer from the ring without lock (as
     seq-lock does)

   - lib: Add an objpool test module to test the functionality and
     evaluate the performance under some circumstances

   - kprobes/fprobe: Improve kretprobe and rethook scalability
     performance with objpool.

     This improves both legacy kretprobe and fprobe exit handler (which
     is based on rethook) to be scalable on SMP systems. Even with
     8-threads parallel test, it shows a great scalability improvement

   - Remove unneeded freelist.h which is replaced by objpool

   - objpool: Add maintainers entry for the objpool

   - objpool: Fix to remove unused include header lines"

kretprobe is using freelist to manage return-instances, but freelist,
as LIFO queue based on singly linked list, scales badly and reduces
the overall throughput of kretprobed routines, especially for high
contention scenarios.

Here's a typical throughput test of sys_prctl (counts in 10 seconds,
measured with perf stat -a -I 10000 -e syscalls:sys_enter_prctl):

OS: Debian 10 X86_64, Linux 6.5rc7 with freelist
HW: XEON 8336C x 2, 64 cores/128 threads, DDR4 3200MT/s

         1T       2T       4T       8T      16T      24T
   24150045 29317964 15446741 12494489 18287272 17708768
        32T      48T      64T      72T      96T     128T
   16200682 13737658 11645677 11269858 10470118  9931051

This patch introduces objpool to replace freelist. objpool is a
high performance queue, which can bring near-linear scalability
to kretprobed routines. Tests of kretprobe throughput show the
biggest ratio as 159x of original freelist. Here's the result:

                  1T         2T         4T         8T        16T

ratio up to 448x:

Pull probe fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - fprobe: Add a comment why fprobe will be skipped if another kprobe is
   running in fprobe_kprobe_handler().

 - probe-events: Fix some issues related to fetch-arguments:

    - Fix double counting of the string length for user-string and
      symstr. This will require longer buffer in the array case.

    - Fix not to count error code (minus value) for the total used
      length in array argument. This makes the total used length
      shorter.

    - Fix to update dynamic used data size counter only if fetcharg uses
      the dynamic size data. This may mis-count the used dynamic data
      size and corrupt data.

    - Revert "tracing: Add "(fault)" name injection to kernel probes"
      because that did not work correctly with a bug, and we agreed the
      current '(fault)' output (instead of '"(fault)"' like a string)
      explains what happened more clearly.

    - Fix to record 0-length (means fault access) data_loc data in fetch
      function itself, instead of store_trace_args(). If we record an
      array of string, this will fix to save fault access data on each
      entry of the array correctly.

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - Fix fprobe's rethook release issues:

     - Release rethook after ftrace_ops is unregistered so that the
       rethook is not accessed after free.

     - Stop rethook before ftrace_ops is unregistered so that the
       rethook is NOT used after exiting unregister_fprobe()

 - Fix eprobe cleanup logic. If it attaches to multiple events and
   failes to enable one of them, rollback all enabled events correctly.

 - Fix fprobe to unlock ftrace recursion lock correctly when it missed
   by another running kprobe.

 - Cleanup kprobe to remove unnecessary NULL.

 - Cleanup kprobe to remove unnecessary 0 initializations.

Ensure running fprobe_exit_handler() has finished before
calling rethook_free() in the unregister_fprobe() so that caller can free
the fprobe right after unregister_fprobe().

unregister_fprobe() ensured that all running fprobe_entry/exit_handler()
have finished by calling unregister_ftrace_function() which synchronizes
RCU. But commit 5f81018753df ("fprobe: Release rethook after the ftrace_ops
is unregistered") changed to call rethook_free() after
unregister_ftrace_function(). So call rethook_stop() to make rethook
disabled before unregister_ftrace_function() and ensure it again.

Here is the possible code flow that can call the exit handler after
unregister_fprobe().

------
 CPU1                              CPU2
 call unregister_fprobe(fp)
 ...
                                   __fprobe_handler()
                                   rethook_hook() on probed function
 unregister_ftrace_function()
                                   return from probed function
                                   rethook hooks
                                   find rh-&gt;handler == fprobe_exit_handler
                                   call fprobe_exit_handler()
 rethook_free():
   set rh-&gt;handler = NULL;
 return from unreigster_fprobe;
                                   call fp-&gt;exit_handler() &lt;- (*)
------

(*) At this point, the exit handler is called after returning from
unregister_fprobe().

This fixes it as following;
------
 CPU1                              CPU2
 call unregister_fprobe()
 ...
 rethook_stop():
   set rh-&gt;handler = NULL;
                                   __fprobe_handler()
                                   rethook_hook() on probed function
 unregister_ftrace_function()
                                   return from probed function
                                   rethook hooks

 rethook_free()
 return from unreigster_fprobe;

While running bpf selftests it's possible to get following fault:

  general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address \
  0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NOPTI
  ...
  Call Trace:

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

In unregister_fprobe function we can't release fp-&gt;rethook while it's
possible there are some of its users still running on another cpu.

Moving rethook_free call after fp-&gt;ops is unregistered with
unregister_ftrace_function call.
