Subject: [PATCH v3] tracepoint: Have tracepoints created with
 DECLARE_TRACE() have _tp suffix

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Most tracepoints in the kernel are created with TRACE_EVENT(). The
TRACE_EVENT() macro (and DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() where in
reality, TRACE_EVENT() is just a helper macro that calls those other two
macros), will create not only a tracepoint (the function trace_<event>()
used in the kernel), it also exposes the tracepoint to user space along
with defining what fields will be saved by that tracepoint.

There are a few places that tracepoints are created in the kernel that are
not exposed to userspace via tracefs. They can only be accessed from code
within the kernel. These tracepoints are created with DEFINE_TRACE()

Most of these tracepoints end with "_tp". This is useful as when the
developer sees that, they know that the tracepoint is for in-kernel only
(meaning it can only be accessed inside the kernel, either directly by the
kernel or indirectly via modules and BPF programs) and is not exposed to
user space.

Instead of making this only a process to add "_tp", enforce it by making
the DECLARE_TRACE() append the "_tp" suffix to the tracepoint. This
requires adding DECLARE_TRACE_EVENT() macros for the TRACE_EVENT() macro
to use that keeps the original name.

Changes since v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20250507162049.30a3ccae@gandalf.local.home

- Fix BPF programs in tools to handle the _tp properly (Andrii Nakryiko)

  Andrii, can you make sure I did the changes correctly?
