c5f48c9276
Andrii Nakryiko says: ==================== This patchset adds the following APIs to allow attaching BPF programs to tracing entities: - bpf_program__attach_perf_event for attaching to any opened perf event FD, allowing users full control; - bpf_program__attach_kprobe for attaching to kernel probes (both entry and return probes); - bpf_program__attach_uprobe for attaching to user probes (both entry/return); - bpf_program__attach_tracepoint for attaching to kernel tracepoints; - bpf_program__attach_raw_tracepoint for attaching to raw kernel tracepoint (wrapper around bpf_raw_tracepoint_open); This set of APIs makes libbpf more useful for tracing applications. All attach APIs return abstract struct bpf_link that encapsulates logic of detaching BPF program. See patch #2 for details. bpf_assoc was considered as an alternative name for this opaque "handle", but bpf_link seems to be appropriate semantically and is nice and short. Pre-patch #1 makes internal libbpf_strerror_r helper function work w/ negative error codes, lifting the burder off callers to keep track of error sign. Patch #2 adds bpf_link abstraction. Patch #3 adds attach_perf_event, which is the base for all other APIs. Patch #4 adds kprobe/uprobe APIs. Patch #5 adds tracepoint API. Patch #6 adds raw_tracepoint API. Patch #7 converts one existing test to use attach_perf_event. Patch #8 adds new kprobe/uprobe tests. Patch #9 converts some selftests currently using tracepoint to new APIs. v4->v5: - typo and small nits (Yonghong); - validate pfd in attach_perf_event (Yonghong); - parse_uint_from_file fixes (Yonghong); - check for malloc failure in attach_raw_tracepoint (Yonghong); - attach_probes selftests clean up fixes (Yonghong); v3->v4: - proper errno handling (Stanislav); - bpf_fd -> prog_fd (Stanislav); - switch to fprintf (Song); v2->v3: - added bpf_link concept (Daniel); - didn't add generic bpf_link__attach_program for reasons described in [0]; - dropped Stanislav's Reviewed-by from patches #2-#6, in case he doesn't like the change; v1->v2: - preserve errno before close() call (Stanislav); - use libbpf_perf_event_disable_and_close in selftest (Stanislav); - remove unnecessary memset (Stanislav); [0] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAEf4BzZ7EM5eP2eaZn7T2Yb5QgVRiwAs+epeLR1g01TTx-6m6Q@mail.gmail.com/ ==================== Acked-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> |

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.
