trace: bpf: Allow bpf to attach to bare tracepoints
mainline inclusion from mainline-5.12 commit 6939f4ef category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I53R0H CVE: NA backport: openEuler-22.03-LTS --------------------------- Some subsystems only have bare tracepoints (a tracepoint with no associated trace event) to avoid the problem of trace events being an ABI that can't be changed. >From bpf presepective, bare tracepoints are what it calls RAW_TRACEPOINT(). Since bpf assumed there's 1:1 mapping, it relied on hooking to DEFINE_EVENT() macro to create bpf mapping of the tracepoints. Since bare tracepoints use DECLARE_TRACE() to create the tracepoint, bpf had no knowledge about their existence. By teaching bpf_probe.h to parse DECLARE_TRACE() in a similar fashion to DEFINE_EVENT(), bpf can find and attach to the new raw tracepoints. Enabling that comes with the contract that changes to raw tracepoints don't constitute a regression if they break existing bpf programs. We need the ability to continue to morph and modify these raw tracepoints without worrying about any ABI. Update Documentation/bpf/bpf_design_QA.rst to document this contract.
