bpf: mark a NULL kfunc argument precisegrafted
check_kfunc_arg() allows bpf_register_is_null() for nullable arguments w/o marking the underlying scalar register precise. Hence a checkpoint created on such a path would prune against arbitrary scalar value. Fixes: 3bda08b63670 ("bpf: Allow NULL buffers in bpf_dynptr_slice(_rw)") Signed-off-by: Eduard Zingerman <eddyz87@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260904-register-is-null-precise-fixes-v1-5-0f5a360ff15d@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

+Real-time Linux Analysis tool

+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla** *COMMAND* [*OPTIONS*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+The **rtla** is a meta-tool that includes a set of commands that aims to
+analyze the real-time properties of Linux. But instead of testing Linux
+as a black box, **rtla** leverages kernel tracing capabilities to provide
+precise information about the properties and root causes of unexpected
+results.
+
+COMMANDS
+========
+**hwnoise**
+
+ Detect and quantify hardware-related noise.
+
+**osnoise**
+
+ Gives information about the operating system noise (osnoise).
+
+**timerlat**
+
+ Measures the IRQ and thread timer latency.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+**-h**, **--help**
+
+ Display the help text.
+
+For other options, see the man page for the corresponding command.
+
+SEE ALSO
