bpf_probe_read_kernel() has a __weak definition in core.c and another
definition with an incompatible prototype in kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c,
when CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS is enabled.
Since the two are incompatible, there cannot be a shared declaration in
a header file, but the lack of a prototype causes a W=1 warning:
kernel/bpf/core.c:1638:12: error: no previous prototype for 'bpf_probe_read_kernel' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
On 32-bit architectures, the local prototype
u64 __weak bpf_probe_read_kernel(void *dst, u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr)
passes arguments in other registers as the one in bpf_trace.c
BPF_CALL_3(bpf_probe_read_kernel, void *, dst, u32, size,
const void *, unsafe_ptr)
which uses 64-bit arguments in pairs of registers.
As both versions of the function are fairly simple and only really
differ in one line, just move them into a header file as an inline
function that does not add any overhead for the bpf_trace.c callers
and actually avoids a function call for the other one.

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.
