$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/available_filter_functions | grep
__bpf_tramp
__bpf_tramp_image_release
__bpf_tramp_image_put_rcu_tasks
__bpf_tramp_image_put_rcu
__bpf_tramp_image_put_deferred
__bpf_tramp_exit


__bpf_tramp_exit is notrace function, so shouldn't be here. Notice
that __bpf_tramp_enter (which is also notrace) are not in
available_filter_functions.

So it's quite bizarre and inconsistent.
