[RFC PATCH 0/3] tracing, perf tools: Attach BPF program on uprobe events

From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Jun 25 2015 - 06:38:39 EST


This 3 patches demonstrate how to attach BPF programs on uprobe events.
They are based on '[RFC PATCH v8 00/49] perf tools: filtering events
using eBPF programs'.

The first patch fix a bug in perf probe.

The second patch is a kernel side patch, which minimic procedures for kprobe
events processing on uprobe events.

The final patch improve BPF object section name to allow perf probing at
uprobe string.

With this 3 patches perf now can connect user space events and kernel
space events with eBPF maps. I believe some useful things could be done.

Wang Nan (3):
perf probe: Init symbol as kprobe if any pev is kprobe
tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to uprobes
perf tools: Support attach BPF program on uprobe events
