tracing: probe: Allocate traceprobe_parse_context from heap

2025-07-23T15:21:30Z

Instead of allocating traceprobe_parse_context on stack, allocate it dynamically from heap (slab). This change is likely intended to prevent potential stack overflow issues, which can be a concern in the kernel environment where stack space is limited.

Sort the #include directives in trace_probe* files alphabetically for easier maintenance and avoid double includes. This also groups headers as linux-generic, asm-generic, and local headers.

tracing: probes: Fix a possible race in trace_probe_log APIs

2025-05-13T13:23:34Z

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.

module: Use RCU in find_module_all().

2025-03-10T10:54:44Z

The modules list and module::kallsyms can be accessed under RCU assumption. Remove module_assert_mutex_or_preempt() from find_module_all() so it can be used under RCU protection without warnings. Update its callers to use RCU protection instead of preempt_disable().
