Not just ftrace, perf does it too.

Now another solution is to make the fast assigns available to anyone, and
to allow you to simply pass in a pointer and size to have the data written
into it. That is, you get the results of the TRACE_EVENT and not have to
depend on internal data from the tracepoint.
