[PATCH v6 00/10] fprobe: Introduce fprobe function entry/exit probe

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is the 6th version of fprobe. This version changes fprobe interface
accroding to the discussion with Steve, adds a new flag for compatibility
with the kprobes, and fixes some issues pointed in the previous version.

The previous version is here[1];

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/164311269435.1933078.6963769885544050138.stgit@devnote2/T/#u

This series introduces the fprobe, the function entry/exit probe
with multiple probe point support. This also introduces the rethook
for hooking function return as same as kretprobe does. This
abstraction will help us to generalize the fgraph tracer,
because we can just switch it from rethook in fprobe, depending
on the kernel configuration.

The patch [1/10] is from Jiri's series[2].

I update this patch to fix typo and add a comment as Steve pointed.

I also found that the fprobe spec about recursion is a bit different from
kprobes. This may be a problem if user wants to run the same code from
fprobe and the kprobes. To avoid this issue, I introduced the
FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag[9/10].

I would like to confirm that the eBPF is recursion safe or detect recursion
by itself. If not, please try the above flag.

Thank you,
