> sys_perf_event_open()->perf_init_event(event) is called before

> This patch adds hw_perf_event->tp_target for PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT,
> this is analogous to PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT/bp_target we already have.
> The patch also moves ->bp_target up so that it can overlap with the

> Also add the "struct list_head tp_list" into this union. It is not
> strictly necessary, but it can simplify the next changes and we can
