btf_trace_xxx types, crucial for tp_btf BPF programs (raw tracepoint with verifier-checked direct memory access), have to be preserved in kernel BTF to allow verifier do its job and enforce type/memory safety. It was reported ([0]) that for kernels built with Clang current type-casting approach doesn't preserve these types. This patch fixes it by declaring an anonymous union for each registered tracepoint, capturing both struct bpf_raw_event_map information, as well as recording btf_trace_##call type reliably. Structurally, it's still the same content as for a plain struct bpf_raw_event_map, so no other changes are necessary.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
