====================
BPF raw tracepoint support for BPF cookie
Add ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw tracepoint programs.
Both BTF-aware (SEC("tp_btf")) and non-BTF-aware (SEC("raw_tp")) are
supported, as they are exactly the same at runtime.
This issue recently came up in production use cases, where custom tried to
switch from slower classic tracepoints to raw tracepoints and ran into this
limitation. Luckily, it's not that hard to support this for raw_tp programs.
v2->v3:
- s/bpf_raw_tp_open/bpf_raw_tracepoint_open_opts/ (Alexei, Eduard);
v1->v2:
- fixed type definition for stubs of bpf_probe_{register,unregister};
- added __u32 :u32 and aligned raw_tp fields (Jiri);
- added Stanislav's ack.

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.
