hmm. if I read the patch correctly that makes it different from
kprobe/uprobe/tracepoints+bpf behavior. Why make it different and
force user space to perf_event_open() on every cpu?
In other cases it's the job of the bpf program to filter by cpu
if necessary and that is well understood by bcc scripts.
The patch actually does allow the bpf program to track all cpus.
The test:
+ if (!prog && hlist_empty(head))
return;
ensures that if prog is not empty, it will not return even if the
event in the current cpu is empty. Later on, perf_call_bpf_enter will
be called if prog is not empty. This ensures that
the bpf program will execute regardless of the current cpu.
Maybe I missed anything here?
you're right. sorry. misread && for ||.
That part looks good indeed.
Another question...
that part:
if (is_tracepoint) {
int off = trace_event_get_offsets(event->tp_event);
if (prog->aux->max_ctx_offset > off) {
seems to be not used in this new path...
or new is_syscall_tp is also is_tracepoint ?
If so, then it's ok...
and trace_event_get_offsets() returns the actual number
of syscall args or always upper bound of 6?
just curious how this new code checks that bpf prog cannot
access args[6+].
Thanks!
