It is useful to expose skb addr and sock addr to user in tracepoint tcp_probe, so that we can get more information while monitoring receiving of tcp data, by ebpf or other ways. For example, we need to identify a packet by seq and end_seq when calculate transmit latency between layer 2 and layer 4 by ebpf, but which is not available in tcp_probe, so we can only use kprobe hooking tcp_rcv_established to get them. But we can use tcp_probe directly if skb addr and sock addr are available, which is more efficient.

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.
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.
