[PATCH v7 perf, bpf-next 1/8] perf, bpf: Introduce PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL

From: Song Liu
Date: Thu Jan 10 2019 - 19:20:46 EST


For better performance analysis of dynamically JITed and loaded kernel
functions, such as BPF programs, this patch introduces
PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL, a new perf_event_type that exposes kernel symbol
register/unregister information to user space.

The following data structure is used for PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL.

/*
* struct {
* struct perf_event_header header;
* u64 addr;
* u32 len;
* u16 ksym_type;
* u16 flags;
* char name[];
* struct sample_id sample_id;
* };
*/
