Support function or tracepoint parameters by name if BTF support is enabled
and the event is for function entry (this feature can be used with kprobe-
events, fprobe-events and tracepoint probe events.)
Note that the BTF variable syntax does not require a prefix. If it starts
with an alphabetic character or an underscore ('_') without a prefix like
'$' and '%', it is considered as a BTF variable.
If you specify only the BTF variable name, the argument name will also
be the same name instead of 'arg*'.

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.
