[PATCH v2 2/3] tracing/fprobe: Support raw tracepoint events on modules

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Sat Jun 01 2024 - 04:23:20 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Support raw tracepoint event on module by fprobe events.
Since it only uses for_each_kernel_tracepoint() to find a tracepoint,
the tracepoints on modules are not handled. Thus if user specified a
tracepoint on a module, it shows an error.
This adds new for_each_module_tracepoint() API to tracepoint subsystem,
and uses it to find tracepoints on modules.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240530215718.aeec973a1d0bf058d39cb1e3@xxxxxxxxxx/
