Instead of using a TRACE_EVENT() macro, you can use DECLARE_TRACE()
which will create the tracepoint in the kernel, but will not create a
trace event that is exported to the tracefs file system. Then BPF could
hook to it and it will still not be exposed as an user space API.

You can see its use in include/trace/events/sched.h
