[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Allow access to const void pointer arguments in tracing programs

[KaFai Wan <mannkafai@gmail.com>]

hi, 
Tracing programs can access arguments via BTF [1]. Currently we allow 
tracing programs to access pointers to string (char pointer), 
void pointers, pointers to structs, and int pointers [2].

If we try to access argument which is pointer to const void like 2nd 
argument in kfree, it's an UNKNOWN type, verifier will fail to load. 
typedef void (*btf_trace_kfree)(void *, long unsigned int, const void *);
