The canary __canary__get_pfnblock_flags_mask has never done its job of
detecting changes to the prototype of get_pfnblock_flags_mask because
it was actually calling the wrapper, because the wrapper/page_alloc.h
header maps get_pfnblock_flags_mask to wrapper_get_pfnblock_flags_mask.
Unfortunately, this wrapper is included by page_alloc.c only _after_ the
linux/pageblock-flags.h header is included, which means the
get_pfnblock_flags_mask prototype does _not_ have the wrapper prefix,
which prevents it from being useful for any kind of type validation.
This has been detected by a compiler warning stating that
wrapper_get_pfnblock_flags_mask() does not have a prior declaration.
Move the wrapper/page_alloc.h include _before_ including
pageblock-flags.h. This ensures the declaration has the wrapper_ prefix,
and therefore the compiler compares the declaration with the definition
of wrapper_get_pfnblock_flags_mask within page_alloc.c. The canary
function can be removed because it is redundant with this type check.
With this proper type check in place, we notice the following two
changes upstream:
commit 535b81e209219 ("mm/page_alloc.c: remove unnecessary end_bitidx for [set|get]_pfnblock_flags_mask()")
introduced in v5.9 removes the end_bitidx argument.
commit ca891f41c4c79 ("mm: constify get_pfnblock_flags_mask and get_pfnblock_migratetype")
introduced in v5.14 adds a const qualifier to the struct page pointer.
Adapt the code to match the evolution of this prototype.
Timers are added to the timer wheel off by one. This is required in
case a timer is queued directly before incrementing jiffies to prevent
early timer expiry.
When reading a timer trace and relying only on the expiry time of the timer
in the timer_start trace point and on the now in the timer_expiry_entry
trace point, it seems that the timer fires late. With the current timer_expiry_entry trace point information only now=jiffies is printed but
not the value of base->clk. This makes it impossible to draw a conclusion
to the index of base->clk and makes it impossible to examine timer problems
without additional trace points.
Therefore add the base->clk value to the timer_expire_entry trace
point, to be able to calculate the index the timer base is located at
during collecting expired timers.

Fix: build kvm probe on EL 8.4+
The lower value of the EL range, 240.15.1, corresponds to the first
import of EL r8 kernels into Rocky Linux's kernel staging repo.
The change may have been introduced in an earlier RHEL 8 kernel,
prior to the history of imports into Rocky.

fix: lttng-probe-kvm-x86-mmu build with linux 6.6
A small change was made upstream in `spte.h` that requires
`arch/x86/kvm` to be added to the search path when
building lttng-probe-kvm.x86-mmu.o.
See upstream commit :

KVM: x86/mmu: Include mmu.h in spte.h
Explicitly include mmu.h in spte.h instead of relying on the "parent" to
include mmu.h. spte.h references a variety of macros and variables that
are defined/declared in mmu.h, and so including spte.h before (or instead
of) mmu.h will result in build errors, e.g.

Fix: Correct minimum version in jbd2 SLE kernel range
This range was introduced in commit b49650509ff072d37ec112cf45a5f14f382c9a31;
however, the range is wrong and worked because the kernel versions
(eg. `5.14.21-150400.24.100-default`) were evaluated to values
greater than `LTTNG_SLE_KERNEL_RANGE(5,14,21,24,46,1)`.
As a result builds of lttng-modules against older versions of SLE
kernels failed.
