[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Make eBPF programs output data to perf event

[He Kuang]

Hi,

Accordint to the discussion on patchset v1, it seems an extra
perf_trace_buf is reduntant, this patch removes the additional buffer
and stores bpf output into a temporary region at the ending of the
original perf_trace_buf. The temporary region will be moved back to
the proper offset of perf_trace_buf at the stage of
perf_trace_prepare_buf.

v1-v2:

  - Remove additional perf_trace_buf. Use the end of perf_trace_buf as
    a temporary region to store bpf data.
    
  - Rename bpf_output_sample to bpf_output_data.
  
  - New bpf API added to the end of the function list.

Thank you.

He Kuang (4):
  bpf: Put perf_events check ahead of bpf prog
  tracing/kprobe: Separate inc recursion count out of
    perf_trace_buf_prepare
  bpf: Introduce function for outputing data to perf event
  tracing/kprobe: Combine bpf output and perf event output
