Alexei suggested, 'link_type' can be more precise and differentiate
for human in fdinfo. In fact BPF_LINK_TYPE_KPROBE_MULTI includes
kretprobe_multi type, the same as BPF_LINK_TYPE_UPROBE_MULTI, so we
can show it more concretely.

link_type

v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250615150514.418581-1-chen.dylane@xxxxxxxxx
v1 -> v2:
- replace 'func_cnt' with 'uprobe_cnt'.(Andrii)
- print func name is more readable and security for kprobe_multi.(Alexei)

New callbacks just to print a string?
Let's find a different way.
How about moving 'flags' from bpf_[ku]probe_multi_link into bpf_link ?
(There is a 7 byte hole there anyway)
and checking flags inline.
Jiri, Andrii,
better ideas?
We can just remember original attr->link_create.attach_type in
bpf_link itself, and then have a small helper that will accept link
type and attach type, and fill out link type representation based on
those two. Internally we can do the special-casing of uprobe vs
uretprobe and kprobe vs kretprobe transparently to all the other code.
And use that here in show_fdinfo
but you'd still need the flags, no? to find out if it's return probe
I tried what Alexei suggested and it seems ok and simple enough
