Merge branch 'add support for writable bare tracepoint'
Hou Tao says: ==================== From: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Hi, The patchset series supports writable context for bare tracepoint. The main idea comes from patchset "writable contexts for bpf raw tracepoints" [1], but it only supports normal tracepoint with associated trace event under tracefs. Now we have one use case in which we add bare tracepoint in VFS layer, and update file::f_mode for specific files. The reason using bare tracepoint is that it doesn't form a ABI and we can change it freely. So add support for it in BPF. Comments are always welcome.
