[GIT PULL] probes: Updates for v7.2

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi Linus,

Probes updates for v7.2

- eprobes: BTF support for dereferencing pointers
  . tracing/eprobes: Allow use of BTF names to dereference pointers. Add syntax
    to the parsing of eprobes to typecast structure pointer trace event fields,
    enabling BTF-based dereferencing instead of relying on manual offsets.

- probes: Improvements and robustness enhancements
  . tracing: Use flexible array for entry fetch code. Store probe entry fetch
    instructions in the probe_entry_arg allocation via a flexible array
    member to simplify memory allocation and lifetime management.
  . tracing: Replace BUG_ON with lockdep_assert_held in uprobe_buffer functions.
    Replace BUG_ON() calls with lockdep_assert_held() in uprobe buffer
    enable/disable paths to prevent kernel crashes and better verify lock ownership.
  . tracing/probes: Ensure the uprobe buffer size is bigger than event size.
    Add a BUILD_BUG_ON() assertion to guarantee that the per-CPU uprobe
    working buffer size is always larger than the maximum probe event size.
