Daniel Borkmann a67edbf4fb bpf: add initial bpf tracepoints ... This work adds a number of tracepoints to paths that are either considered slow-path or exception-like states, where monitoring or inspecting them would be desirable. For bpf(2) syscall, tracepoints have been placed for main commands when they succeed. In XDP case, tracepoint is for exceptions, that is, f.e. on abnormal BPF program exit such as unknown or XDP_ABORTED return code, or when error occurs during XDP_TX action and the packet could not be forwarded. Both have been split into separate event headers, and can be further extended. Worst case, if they unexpectedly should get into our way in future, they can also removed [1]. Of course, these tracepoints (like any other) can be analyzed by eBPF itself, etc. Example output: # ./perf record -a -e bpf:* sleep 10 # ./perf script sock_example 6197 [005] 283.980322: bpf:bpf_map_create: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=4 val=8 max=256 flags=0 sock_example 6197 [005] 283.980721: bpf:bpf_prog_load: prog=a5ea8fa30ea6849c type=SOCKET_FILTER ufd=5 sock_example 6197 [005] 283.988423: bpf:bpf_prog_get_type: prog=a5ea8fa30ea6849c type=SOCKET_FILTER sock_example 6197 [005] 283.988443: bpf:bpf_map_lookup_elem: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=[06 00 00 00] val=[00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] [...] sock_example 6197 [005] 288.990868: bpf:bpf_map_lookup_elem: map type=ARRAY ufd=4 key=[01 00 00 00] val=[14 00 00 00 00 00 00 00] swapper 0 [005] 289.338243: bpf:bpf_prog_put_rcu: prog=a5ea8fa30ea6849c type=SOCKET_FILTER [1] https://lwn.net/Articles/705270/ Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
