Hi Linus,

Probes fixes for v7.2-rc6:

- selftests/ftrace: Refactor eprobes test to fix argument checks
  Refactor the eprobes selftest to get more stable test result by using
  `sys_enter_chdir` instead of `openat` and filter for exact directory
  names. This resolves test instability after string pointer handling fix.

    selftests/ftrace: refactor eprobes test to fix argument checks
    
    The add/remove eprobe test installs an eprobe for the openat syscall and
    runs ls. It checks the filenames that were opened by ls against a
    whitelist and a blacklist.
    
    Commit 206b25c09080 ("tracing: eprobe: read the complete FILTER_PTR_STRING
    pointer") fixed access to some string fields in eprobes. This triggers
    test failures as the blacklist does not allow relative paths for the
    openat parameters.
    
    What makes this test unstable is the fact that the openat calls vary a
    lot between different systems.
    
    Refactor the test to make it more robust. "cd <directory>" will issue a
    chdir syscall with the target directory as parameter. Set an eprobe on
    the sys_enter_chdir event and filter for the exact directory name. Allow
    (fault) as fallback.
