Alexei Starovoitov 71ee10e267 Merge branch 'Allow attaching to bare tracepoints'
Qais Yousef says:

====================

Changes in v3:
	* Fix not returning error value correctly in
	  trigger_module_test_write() (Yonghong)
	* Add Yonghong acked-by to patch 1.

Changes in v2:
	* Fix compilation error. (Andrii)
	* Make the new test use write() instead of read() (Andrii)

Add some missing glue logic to teach bpf about bare tracepoints - tracepoints
without any trace event associated with them.

Bare tracepoints are declare with DECLARE_TRACE(). Full tracepoints are declare
with TRACE_EVENT().

BPF can attach to these tracepoints as RAW_TRACEPOINT() only as there're no
events in tracefs created with them.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
