Most tracepoints in the kernel are created with TRACE_EVENT(). The TRACE_EVENT() macro (and DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() where in reality, TRACE_EVENT() is just a helper macro that calls those other two macros), will create not only a tracepoint (the function trace_<event>() used in the kernel), it also exposes the tracepoint to user space along with defining what fields will be saved by that tracepoint. There are a few places that tracepoints are created in the kernel that are not exposed to userspace via tracefs. They can only be accessed from code within the kernel. These tracepoints are created with DEFINE_TRACE() Most of these tracepoints end with "_tp". This is useful as when the developer sees that, they know that the tracepoint is for in-kernel only (meaning it can only be accessed inside the kernel, either directly by the kernel or indirectly via modules and BPF programs) and is not exposed to user space. Instead of making this only a process to add "_tp", enforce it by making the DECLARE_TRACE() append the "_tp" suffix to the tracepoint. This requires adding DECLARE_TRACE_EVENT() macros for the TRACE_EVENT() macro to use that keeps the original name.
