Linus Torvalds 91bd008d4e Probes updates for v6.11:
Uprobes:
 - x86/shstk: Make return uprobe work with shadow stack.
 - Add uretprobe syscall which speeds up the uretprobe 10-30% faster. This
   syscall is automatically used from user-space trampolines which are
   generated by the uretprobe. If this syscall is used by normal
   user program, it will cause SIGILL. Note that this is currently only
   implemented on x86_64.
   (This also has 2 fixes for adjusting the syscall number to avoid conflict
    with new *attrat syscalls.)
 - uprobes/perf: fix user stack traces in the presence of pending uretprobe.
   This corrects the uretprobe's trampoline address in the stacktrace with
   correct return address.
 - selftests/x86: Add a return uprobe with shadow stack test.
 - selftests/bpf: Add uretprobe syscall related tests.
   . test case for register integrity check.
   . test case with register changing case.
   . test case for uretprobe syscall without uprobes (expected to be failed).
   . test case for uretprobe with shadow stack.
 - selftests/bpf: add test validating uprobe/uretprobe stack traces
 - MAINTAINERS: Add uprobes entry. This does not specify the tree but to
   clarify who maintains and reviews the uprobes.
 
 Kprobes:
 - tracing/kprobes: Test case cleanups. Replace redundant WARN_ON_ONCE() +
   pr_warn() with WARN_ONCE() and remove unnecessary code from selftest.
 - tracing/kprobes: Add symbol counting check when module loads. This
   checks the uniqueness of the probed symbol on modules. The same check
   has already done for kernel symbols.
   (This also has a fix for build error with CONFIG_MODULES=n)
 
 Cleanup:
 - Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros for fprobe and kprobe examples.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
