Linus Torvalds 05bf73aa27 Probes updates for v6.7:
- cleanups:
   . kprobes: Fixes typo in kprobes samples.
 
   . tracing/eprobes: Remove 'break' after return.
 
 - kretprobe/fprobe performance improvements:
   . lib: Introduce new `objpool`, which is a high performance lockless
     object queue. This uses per-cpu ring array to allocate/release
     objects from the pre-allocated object pool. Since the index of ring
     array is a 32bit sequential counter, we can retry to push/pop the
     object pointer from the ring without lock (as seq-lock does).
 
   . lib: Add an objpool test module to test the functionality and
     evaluate the performance under some circumstances.
 
   . kprobes/fprobe: Improve kretprobe and rethook scalability
     performance with objpool.
     This improves both legacy kretprobe and fprobe exit handler (which
     is based on rethook) to be scalable on SMP systems. Even with
     8-threads parallel test, it shows a great scalability improvement.
 
   . Remove unneeded freelist.h which is replaced by objpool.
 
   . objpool: Add maintainers entry for the objpool.
 
   . objpool: Fix to remove unused include header lines.
