[PATCH 04/18] perf trace: Fix setting of augmented payload when using eBPF + raw_syscalls

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Nov 06 2018 - 07:06:46 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

For now with BPF raw_augmented we hook into raw_syscalls:sys_enter and
there we get all 6 syscall args plus the tracepoint common fields
(sizeof(long)) and the syscall_nr (another long). So we check if that is
the case and if so don't look after the sc->args_size, but always after
the full raw_syscalls:sys_enter payload, which is fixed.

We'll revisit this later to pass s->args_size to the BPF augmenter (now
tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c, so that it copies only
what we need for each syscall, like what happens when we use
syscalls:sys_enter_NAME, so that we reduce the kernel/userspace traffic
to just what is needed for each syscall.
