Hou Tao says: ==================== From: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> Hi, The patchset series supports writable context for bare tracepoint. The main idea comes from patchset "writable contexts for bpf raw tracepoints" [1], but it only supports normal tracepoint with associated trace event under tracefs. Now we have one use case in which we add bare tracepoint in VFS layer, and update file::f_mode for specific files. The reason using bare tracepoint is that it doesn't form a ABI and we can change it freely. So add support for it in BPF. Comments are always welcome.

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.
