[Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Hi Linus,

Probes fixes for v6.16-rc6:

 - fprobe-event: The @params variable was being used in an error path
   without being initialized. The fix to return an error code.

    tracing/probes: Avoid using params uninitialized in parse_btf_arg()
    
    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:
    
      kernel/trace/trace_probe.c:660:19: warning: variable 'params' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
        660 |                         return PTR_ERR(params);
            |                                        ^~~~~~
    
    Match many other NO_BTF_ENTRY error cases and return -ENOENT, clearing
    up the warning.
