Pull kprobes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
- Skip negative return code check for snprintf in eprobe
- Add recursive call test cases for kprobe unit test
- Add 'char' type to probe events to show it as the character instead
of value
- Update kselftest kprobe-event testcase to ignore '__pfx_' symbols
- Fix kselftest to check filter on eprobe event correctly
- Add filter on eprobe to the README file in tracefs
- Fix optprobes to check whether there is 'under unoptimizing' optprobe
when optimizing another kprobe correctly
- Fix optprobe to check whether there is 'under unoptimizing' optprobe
when fetching the original instruction correctly
- Fix optprobe to free 'forcibly unoptimized' optprobe correctly

Note that the array can be applied to memory type fetchargs, you can not
apply it to registers/stack-entries etc. (for example, '$stack1:x8[8]' is
wrong, but '+8($stack):x8[8]' is OK.)

+ Char type can be used to show the character value of traced arguments.

String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
kernel space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container
has been paged out. "ustring" type is an alternative of string for user-space.
