[PATCH v3 0/5] tracing/probes: Clean up and refactor argument parser

["Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Hi,

This is the 3rd version of the series which refactors and cleans up
the fetcharg parser in the trace_probe. The previous version is here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/178392766002.3229912.15711868107734330750.stgit@devnote2/

The main goals are to improve code readability, prevent kernel stack
overflow by eliminating recursive function calls, and extend the
argument string length limit to support complex BTF typecast
expressions.

In this version, I fixed to remove unused variable and add a
error log in parse_this_cpu() [5/5].


Patches:
- Patch 1: Decomposes parse_probe_vars() into smaller, dedicated helper 
  functions for parsing specific variable types ($retval, $stack, etc.).
- Patch 2: Decomposes parse_probe_arg() into static helper subroutines for 
  handling registers, memory/symbols, and immediates.
- Patch 3: Alphabetizes the ERRORS macros list in trace_probe.h to improve 
  readability.
- Patch 4: Extends MAX_ARGSTR_LEN from 63 to 255 for long BTF cast/dereference
  arguments, and introduces MAX_COMMON_HEAD_LEN to prevent regression on match
  head commands.
- Patch 5: Eliminates recursion in parse_probe_arg() using a loop and a parse 
  state stack integrated into traceprobe_parse_context. It also raises the
  nesting limit to 8 and updates the selftest scripts.

Thanks,

---
