Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix accounting of stop_count in file release

   On opening the trace file, if "pause-on-trace" option is set, it will
   increment the stop_count. On file release, it checks if stop_count is
   set, and if so it decrements it. Since this code was originally
   written, the stop_count can be incremented by other use cases. This
   makes just checking the stop_count not enough to know if it should be
   decremented.

   Add a new iterator flag called "PAUSE" and have it set if the open
   disables tracing and only decrement the stop_count if that flag is
   set on close.

 - Remove length field in trace_seq_printf() of print_synth_event()

   When printing the synthetic event that has a static length array
   field, the vsprintf() of the trace_seq_printf() triggered a
   "(efault)" in the output. That's because the print_fmt replaced the
   "%.*s" with "%s" causing the arguments to be off.

 - Fix a bunch of typos

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
 "Stack usage reduction for probe events:
   - Allocate string buffers from the heap for uprobe, eprobe, kprobe,
     and fprobe events to avoid stack overflow
   - Allocate traceprobe_parse_context from the heap to prevent
     potential stack overflow
   - Fix a typo in the above commit

  New features for eprobe and tprobe events:
   - Add support for arrays in eprobes
   - Support multiple tprobes on the same tracepoint

  Improve efficiency:
   - Register fprobe-events only when it is enabled to reduce overhead
   - Register tracepoints for tprobe events only when enabled to resolve
     a lock dependency

  Code Cleanup:
   - Add kerneldoc for traceprobe_parse_event_name() and
     __get_insn_slot()
   - Sort #include alphabetically in the probes code
   - Remove the unused 'mod' field from the tprobe-event

This also groups headers as linux-generic, asm-generic, and local

After a recent change in clang to strengthen uninitialized warnings [1],
it points out that in one of the error paths in parse_btf_arg(), params
is used uninitialized:

Cleanup __store_entry_arg() so that it is easier to understand.
The main complexity may come from combining the loops for finding
stored-entry-arg and max-offset and appending new entry.

This split those different loops into 3 parts, lookup the same
entry-arg, find the max offset and append new entry.

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and
modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events,
uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected.
In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by
`dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events
interfaces are not serialized.

To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs
create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and
uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is
held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and
modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events,
uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected.
In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by
`dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events
interfaces are not serialized.

To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs
create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and
uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is
held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.
