[PATCH 00/12] perf tools: bpf: Improve BPF program ability

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Nov 13 2015 - 07:29:56 EST


This patchset is combined by 3 parts:

Part 1: Bugfix (1/12 - 2/12).

Part 2: Improve BPF configuration syntax, allow BPF program set
probing options originally belong to 'perf probe'
(3/12 - 5/12)

Part 3: Allow BPF program read kernel data using variable names
and do structure dereferencing automatically.
(6/12 - 12/12)

Although not obvious, the order is need to be kept if one want to
try the testcase shown in 12/12's commit message. Otherwise he/she
should find another example, and deal with inlining problems and bugs
in perf probe.

Compare with previous patches I posted before, the main difference in
this patchset is improving commit messages and utilizing new testing
and error reporting code.

He Kuang (1):
perf tools: Add prologue for BPF programs for fetching arguments

Masami Hiramatsu (1):
perf probe: Fix memory leaking on faiulre by clearing all
probe_trace_events

Wang Nan (10):
perf probe: Clear probe_trace_event when add_probe_trace_event() fails
perf tools: Allow BPF program attach to uprobe events
perf tools: Allow BPF program attach to modules
perf tools: Allow BPF program config probing options
bpf tools: Load a program with different instances using preprocessor
perf tools: Add BPF_PROLOGUE config options for further patches
perf tools: Compile dwarf-regs.c if CONFIG_BPF_PROLOGUE is on
perf tools: Generate prologue for BPF programs
perf test: Test BPF prologue
perf tools: Use same BPF program if arguments are identical
