[PATCH bpf-next v3 0/5] writable contexts for bpf raw tracepoints

[Matt Mullins]

This adds an opt-in interface for tracepoints to expose a writable context to
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE programs that are attached, while
supporting read-only access from existing BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT
programs, as well as from non-BPF-based tracepoints.

The initial motivation is to support tracing that can be observed from the
remote end of an NBD socket, e.g. by adding flags to the struct nbd_request
header.  Earlier attempts included adding an NBD-specific tracepoint fd, but in
code review, I was recommended to implement it more generically -- as a result,
this patchset is far simpler than my initial try.

v2->v3:
  * Andrew addressed Josef's comments:
    * C-style commenting in nbd.c
    * Collapsed identical events into a single DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS.
      This saves about 2kB of kernel text

v1->v2:
  * add selftests
    * sync tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
  * reject variable offset into the buffer
  * add string representation of PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER to reg_type_str
