Linux kernel source tree
c2758baa97
Instead of being a thin wrapper which calls into bpf_trace_printk, libbpf's bpf_printk convenience macro now chooses between bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk. If the arg count (excluding format string) is >3, use bpf_trace_vprintk, otherwise use the older helper. The motivation behind this added complexity - instead of migrating entirely to bpf_trace_vprintk - is to maintain good developer experience for users compiling against new libbpf but running on older kernels. Users who are passing <=3 args to bpf_printk will see no change in their bytecode. __bpf_vprintk functions similarly to BPF_SEQ_PRINTF and BPF_SNPRINTF macros elsewhere in the file - it allows use of bpf_trace_vprintk without manual conversion of varargs to u64 array. Previous implementation of bpf_printk macro is moved to __bpf_printk for use by the new implementation. This does change behavior of bpf_printk calls with >3 args in the "new libbpf, old kernels" scenario. Before this patch, attempting to use 4 args to bpf_printk results in a compile-time error. After this patch, using bpf_printk with 4 args results in a trace_vprintk helper call being emitted and a load-time failure on older kernels.

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.
