Steven Rostedt (Google) 2673c60ee6 tracing/eprobes: Do not allow eprobes to use $stack, or % for regs
While playing with event probes (eprobes), I tried to see what would
happen if I attempted to retrieve the instruction pointer (%rip) knowing
that event probes do not use pt_regs. The result was:

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000024

Obviously this is not the desired result.

Move the testing for TPARG_FL_TPOINT which is only used for event probes
to the top of the "$" variable check, as all the other variables are not
used for event probes. Also add a check in the register parsing "%" to
fail if an event probe is used.

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.
