A new feature is added where kprobes (and other probes) do not need to explicitly state the event name when creating a probe. The event name will come from what is being attached. That is: # echo 'p:foo/ vfs_read' > kprobe_events Will no longer error, but instead create an event: # cat kprobe_events p:foo/p_vfs_read_0 vfs_read This should not be tested as an error case anymore. Remove it from the selftest as now this feature "breaks" the selftest as it no longer fails as expected.

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 Restructured Text 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.
