why is that? The kernel modules should be compiled with BTF and
bpf infra can attach to those functions the same way.
__weak suggestion in the above is not to override it by the module.
It's there to prevent compiler from inlining it.
__weak int hid_bpf_report_fixup(struct hid_device *hdev, u8 *rdesc,
unsigned int *size) {...}
Will be only one.
Either in kernel proper or in kernel module. It's up to HID subsystem.

That's fine. Take a look at how libxdp is doing the chaining.
One bpf prog is attached to a main entry point and it does
demux (or call other progs sequentially) based on its own logic.
For example you have bpf prog that does:
SEC("fentry/hid_bpf_report_fixup")
int main_hid_bpf_report_fixup(struct hid_device *hdev, u8 *rdesc,
unsigned int *size)
{
if (hdev->id == ..)
another_bpf_prog();
}
Or call another bpf prog via bpf_tail_call.
There are lots of option to connect them.
You can also have N bpf progs. All look like:
SEC("fentry/hid_bpf_report_fixup")
int first_hid_bpf_report_fixup(struct hid_device *hdev, u8 *rdesc,
unsigned int *size)
{
if (hdev->id != mine_id)
return 0;
// do work;
}
And attach them all as fmod_ret type bpf prog to the same
kernel hid_bpf_report_fixup() function.
The bpf trampoline will call them sequentially.

Of course. No need to regenrated them with LLVM on the fly.

Chaining is already available for fentry/fexit/fmod_ret programs.

That's also possible.
You can have a main bpf prog as entry point that calls global functions
of this bpf program. Later you can install another bpf prog that
will replace one of the previously loaded global bpf functions.
So fully programmable and arbitrary chaining is available.

There are sleepable and non-sleepable fmod_ret/fentry/fexit programs.
The hid subsystem would need to white list all ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION
kernel functions approriately.
So that sleepable bpf prog won't attach to a hook where IRQs are disabled.

If there is anything missing in the verifier let's extend that.
Everyone will benefit.
PS
Sorry for delay. Looks like your emails are going into some sort
of queue in my gmail and receive them later. Or some other odd
filtering is going on. Maybe it's related to giant cc list in your patches.
