[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/2] bpf: use canonical ftrace path

From: zwisler
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 12:52:31 EST


From: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@xxxxxxxxxx>

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing

Many comments and samples in the bpf code still refer to this older
debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion. There are a few
spots where the bpf code explicitly checks both tracefs and debugfs
(tools/bpf/bpftool/tracelog.c and tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c) and I've left
those alone so that the tools can continue to work with both paths.

v2 was submitted to bpf-next via a pair of pull requests:
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/4672
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/pull/4648

The only change since v2 is that I rebased on the current bpf-next_base.

I've run this through all the BPF selftests on a local machine:
sudo ./test_verifier
sudo make run_tests

and didn't hit any regressions. I've also tested to make sure each
modified selftest runs successfully with each path of tracefs (with and
without debugfs).
