Pointers passed to tp_btf were trusted to be valid, but some tracepoints do take NULL pointer as input, such as trace_tcp_send_reset(). Then the invalid memory access cannot be detected by verifier. This patch fix it by add a suffix "__nullable" to the unreliable argument. The suffix is shown in btf, and PTR_MAYBE_NULL will be added to nullable arguments. Then users must check the pointer before use it. A problem here is that we use "btf_trace_##call" to search func_proto. As it is a typedef, argument names as well as the suffix are not recorded. To solve this, I use bpf_raw_event_map to find "__bpf_trace##template" from "btf_trace_##call", and then we can see the suffix.

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 reStructuredText 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.
