From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> v1->v2: - simplified api by combing bpf_raw_tp_open(name) + bpf_attach(prog_fd) into bpf_raw_tp_open(name, prog_fd) as suggested by Daniel. That simplifies bpf_detach as well which is now simple close() of fd. - fixed memory leak in error path which was spotted by Daniel. - fixed bpf_get_stackid(), bpf_perf_event_output() called from raw tracepoints - added more tests - fixed allyesconfig build caught by buildbot v1: This patch set is a different way to address the pressing need to access task_struct pointers in sched tracepoints from bpf programs. The first approach simply added these pointers to sched tracepoints: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/753 which Peter nacked. Few options were discussed and eventually the discussion converged on doing bpf specific tracepoint_probe_register() probe functions. Details here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/20/929 Patch 1 is kernel wide cleanup of pass-struct-by-value into pass-struct-by-reference into tracepoints. Patches 2 and 3 are minor cleanups to address allyesconfig build Patch 4 minor prep work to expose number of arguments passed into tracepoints. Patch 5 introduces BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT api. the auto-cleanup and multiple concurrent users are must have features of tracing api. For bpf raw tracepoints it looks like: // load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...); // receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint // and attach bpf program to it raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd); Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and unregister tracepoint probe. More details in patch 5.
