The `tracepoint` crate provides low-level building blocks for logging
[Tracepoints](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/trace/tracepoints.html)
via the Linux [user_events](https://docs.kernel.org/trace/user_events.html)
system. The events can be generated and collected on Linux 6.4 or later
(requires the `user_events` kernel feature to be enabled, the `tracefs` or
`debugfs` filesystem to be mounted, and appropriate permissions configured for
the `/sys/kernel/.../tracing/user_events_data` file).
