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 will 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.

Change log:
v4:
 * rebased on bpf-next
 * update patch 2 to add support for writable raw tracepoint attachment
   in attach_raw_tp().
 * update patch 3 to add Acked-by tag

v3: https://www.spinics.net/lists/bpf/msg46824.html
  * use raw_tp.w instead of raw_tp_writable as section
    name of writable tp
  * use ASSERT_XXX() instead of CHECK()
  * define a common macro for "/sys/kernel/bpf_testmod"

v2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/bpf/msg46356.html 
  * rebase on bpf-next tree
  * address comments from Yonghong Song
  * rename bpf_testmode_test_writable_ctx::ret as early_ret to reflect
    its purpose better.

v1: https://www.spinics.net/lists/bpf/msg46221.html
