[PATCH] tracing: probes: error if BTF is required but unavailable
flat view
WARM3d
LANDED
From: Martin Kaiser <hidden>
Date: 2026-10-14 08:39:26
Also in:

Subsystem:
the rest, tracing · Maintainers:
Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu
Landed in mainline as 66c658033d84 on 2026-10-15.
traceprobe_expand_meta_args expands probe arguments based on BTF info.
Return an error if we have arguments that need expanding but BTF is not
supported.
The params variable is now unused, it can be removed.
Fixes: d157d7694460 ("tracing/probes: Support BTF field access from $retval")
