kprobes can be placed on most instructions in a function, not
just entry, and ftrace and bpftrace support the function+offset
notification for probe placement. Adding parsing of func_name
into func+offset to bpf_program__attach_kprobe() allows the
user to specify
SEC("kprobe/bpf_fentry_test5+0x6")
...for example, and the offset can be passed to perf_event_open_probe()
to support kprobe attachment.

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.
