    perf bpf: Add probe() helper to reduce kprobes boilerplate · d8fc764d
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    So that kprobe definitions become:
    
      int probe(function, variables)(void *ctx, int err, var1, var2, ...)
    
    The existing 5sec.c, got converted and goes from:
    
      SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec")
      int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
      {
      }
    
    To:
    
      int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
      {
      }
    
    If we decide to add tv_nsec as well, then it becomes:
    
      $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
      #include <bpf.h>
    
      int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec rqtp->tv_nsec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec, long nsec)
      {
    	  return sec == 5;
      }
    
      license(GPL);
      $
    
    And if we run it, system wide as before and run some 'sleep' with values
    for the tv_nsec field, we get:
    
      # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
         0.000 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=100000000
      9641.650 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=123450001
