Very good point. The time related helpers are missing. In V5 I'm thinking to add something like bpf_ktime_get_ns(). To associate begin and end events I think bpf_gettid() would be needed, but that doesn't feel generic enough for helper function, so I'm leaning toward 'bpf_get_current()' helper that will return 'current' task pointer. eBPF program can use this pointer for correlation of events or can go exploring task fields with bpf_fetch_() helpers... Thank you very much for trying things out and for your feedback! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
