I do like that we facilitate usage by adding these APIs to libbpf, but my $0.02
would be that they should be designed slightly different. See it as a nit, but
given it's exposed in libbpf.map and therefore immutable in future it's worth
considering; right now with this set here you have:
int bpf_program__attach_kprobe(struct bpf_program *prog, bool retprobe,
const char *func_name)
int bpf_program__attach_uprobe(struct bpf_program *prog, bool retprobe,
pid_t pid, const char *binary_path,
size_t func_offset)
int bpf_program__attach_tracepoint(struct bpf_program *prog,
const char *tp_category,
const char *tp_name)
int bpf_program__attach_raw_tracepoint(struct bpf_program *prog,
const char *tp_name)
int bpf_program__attach_perf_event(struct bpf_program *prog, int pfd)
int libbpf_perf_event_disable_and_close(int pfd)
So the idea is that all the bpf_program__attach_*() APIs return an fd that you
can later on pass into libbpf_perf_event_disable_and_close(). I think there is
a bit of a disconnect in that the bpf_program__attach_*() APIs try to do too
many things at once. For example, the bpf_program__attach_raw_tracepoint() fd
has nothing to do with perf, so passing to libbpf_perf_event_disable_and_close()
kind of works, but is hacky since there's no PERF_EVENT_IOC_DISABLE for it so
this
would always error if a user cares to check the return code. In the kernel, we
use anon inode for this kind of object. Also, if a user tries to add more than
one program to the same event, we need to recreate a new event fd every time.
What this boils down to is that this should get a proper abstraction, e.g. as
in struct libbpf_event which holds the event object. There should be helper
functions like libbpf_event_create_{kprobe,uprobe,tracepoint,raw_tracepoint}
returning
such an struct libbpf_event object on success, and a single
libbpf_event_destroy()
that does the event specific teardown. bpf_program__attach_event() can then take
care of only attaching the program to it. Having an object for this is also more
extensible than just a fd number. Nice thing is that this can also be completely
internal to libbpf.c as with struct bpf_program and other abstractions where we
don't expose the internals in the public header.
Thanks,
Daniel
