Merge branch 'bpf: Add kprobe multi link'



Jiri Olsa says:

====================

hi,
this patchset adds new link type BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI that attaches
kprobe program through fprobe API [1] instroduced by Masami.

The fprobe API allows to attach probe on multiple functions at once very
fast, because it works on top of ftrace. On the other hand this limits
the probe point to the function entry or return.

With bpftrace support I see following attach speed:

  # perf stat --null -r 5 ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* { } i:ms:1 { exit(); } '
  Attaching 2 probes...
  Attaching 3342 functions
  ...

  1.4960 +- 0.0285 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  1.91% )

v3 changes:
  - based on latest fprobe post from Masami [2]
  - add acks
  - add extra comment to kprobe_multi_link_handler wrt entry ip setup [Masami]
  - keep swap_words_64 static and swap values directly in
    bpf_kprobe_multi_cookie_swap [Andrii]
  - rearrange locking/migrate setup in kprobe_multi_link_prog_run [Andrii]
  - move uapi fields [Andrii]
  - add bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function [Andrii]
  - many small test changes [Andrii]
  - added tests for bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts
  - make kallsyms_lookup_name check for empty string [Andrii]

v2 changes:
  - based on latest fprobe changes [1]
  - renaming the uapi interface to kprobe multi
  - adding support for sort_r to pass user pointer for swap functions
    and using that in cookie support to keep just single functions array
  - moving new link to kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c file
  - using single fprobe callback function for entry and exit
  - using kvzalloc, libbpf_ensure_mem functions
  - adding new k[ret]probe.multi sections instead of using current kprobe
  - used glob_match from test_progs.c, added '?' matching
  - move bpf_get_func_ip verifier inline change to seprate change
  - couple of other minor fixes
