User interface:
cat bpf_123 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/__event__/filter

where 123 is an id of the eBPF program priorly loaded.
__event__ is static tracepoint event.
(kprobe events will be supported in the future patches)

eBPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to:
- lookup/update/delete elements in maps
- memcmp
- trace_printk
- load_pointer
- dump_stack
Are there plans to let eBPF replace the generic event
filtering framework in tracing?
