Merge branch 'bpf-tracing-multiprog-tp-query'



Yonghong Song says:

====================
Commit e87c6bc3 ("bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments
for a single perf event") added support to attach multiple
bpf programs to a single perf event. Given a perf event
(kprobe, uprobe, or kernel tracepoint), the perf ioctl interface
is used to query bpf programs attached to the same trace event.

There already exists a BPF_PROG_QUERY command for introspection
currently used by cgroup+bpf. We did have an implementation for
querying tracepoint+bpf through the same interface. However, it
looks cleaner to use ioctl() style of api here, since attaching
bpf prog to tracepoint/kuprobe is also done via ioctl.

Patch #1 had the core implementation and patch #2 added
a test case in tools bpf selftests suite.

Changelogs:
v3 -> v4:
  - Fix a compilation error with newer gcc like 6.3.1 while
    old gcc 4.8.5 is okay. I was using &uquery->ids to represent
    the address to the ids array to make it explicit that the
    address is passed, and this syntax is rightly rejected
    by gcc 6.3.1.
v2 -> v3:
  - Change uapi structure perf_event_query_bpf to be more
    clearer based on Peter's suggestion, and adjust
    other codes accordingly.
v1 -> v2:
  - Rebase on top of net-next.
  - Use existing bpf_prog_array_length function instead of
    implementing the same functionality in function
    bpf_prog_array_copy_info.
