  Hi,

Here is the 4th version of series to improve the BTF support on probe events.
The previous series is here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/169037639315.607919.2613476171148037242.stgit@devnote2/

This version updates the btf_find_struct_member() to use a simple stack
to walk through the anonymous unions/structures instead of recursive call.
Also, returning int error code from query_btf_context()
if !CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS.

This series enables {f,k}probe events to access the members of data
structures using BTF from arguments and return value. This also adds
some new APIs to BTF so that other users can use BTF to find function
prototypes and the members of data structures.

This series can be applied on top of "probes/core" branch of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git/

You can also get this series from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhiramat/linux.git topic/fprobe-event-ext

Thank you,
