This is an opt-in interface that allows a tracepoint to provide a safe buffer that can be written from a BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT program. The size of the buffer must be a compile-time constant, and is checked before allowing a BPF program to attach to a tracepoint that uses this feature. The pointer to this buffer will be the first argument of tracepoints that opt in; the pointer is valid and can be bpf_probe_read() by both BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT and BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT_WRITABLE programs that attach to such a tracepoint, but the buffer to which it points may only be written by the latter.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
