perf trace: Make the augmented_syscalls filter out the tracepoint event
When we attach a eBPF object to a tracepoint, if we return 1, then that tracepoint will be stored in the perf's ring buffer. In the augmented_syscalls.c case we want to just attach and _override_ the tracepoint payload with an augmented, extended one. In this example, tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c, we are attaching to the 'openat' syscall, and adding, after the syscalls:sys_enter_openat usual payload as defined by /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/format, a snapshot of its sole pointer arg: # grep 'field:.*\*' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/format field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; # For now this is not being considered, the next csets will make use of it, but as this is overriding the syscall tracepoint enter, we don't want that event appearing on the ring buffer, just our synthesized one.
