The number of active retprobes can be zero but it is not acceptable,
so return EINVAL error if detected.

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

                                   return from probed function

Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe
events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit
even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS,
it is not available if the architecture only supports
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not
probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture.
But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events.

The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function
(symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments
so that user can trace the function arguments and return values.

The fprobe events syntax is here;

 f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS]
 f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS]

E.g.

 # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1'  &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval'  &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
 f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1
 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval
 # echo 1 &gt; events/fprobes/enable
 # head -n 20 trace | tail
 #           TASK-PID     CPU#  |||||  TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |         |   |||||     |         |
              sh-142     [005] ...1.   448.386420: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540
              sh-142     [005] .....   448.386436: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 &lt;- vfs_read) arg1=0x1

Pass return address as 'ret_ip' to the fprobe entry and return handlers
so that the fprobe user handler can get the reutrn address without
analyzing arch-dependent pt_regs.

<title>fprobe: add recursion detection in fprobe_exit_handler</title>

fprobe_hander and fprobe_kprobe_handler has guarded ftrace recursion
detection but fprobe_exit_handler has not, which possibly introduce
recursive calls if the fprobe exit callback calls any traceable
functions. Checking in fprobe_hander or fprobe_kprobe_handler
is not enough and misses this case.

So add recursion free guard the same way as fprobe_hander. Since
ftrace recursion check does not employ ip(s), so here use entry_ip and
entry_parent_ip the same as fprobe_handler.
