Is it possible to see a list of these tracepoints from user space? If not,
then it's only available via the kernel. Sure BPF and even trace probes can
attach to them. Just like attaching to functions. The point is, they are
not exposed directly to user space. User space only knows about it if the
user has access to the kernel.

Unless BPF does expose what's avaliable, does it?
