hi, this patchset is adding support to attach multiple uprobes and usdt probes through new uprobe_multi link. The current uprobe is attached through the perf event and attaching many uprobes takes a lot of time because of that. The main reason is that we need to install perf event for each probed function and profile shows perf event installation (perf_install_in_context) as culprit. The new uprobe_multi link just creates raw uprobes and attaches the bpf program to them without perf event being involved. In addition to being faster we also save file descriptors. For the current uprobe attach we use extra perf event fd for each probed function. The new link just need one fd that covers all the functions we are attaching to. v6 changes: - added acks [Yafang Shao] - fixed CI failure There's support for bpftrace [2] and tetragon [1].
