[PATCH bpf v7 1/2] bpf: fix unpopulated name_len field in perf_event link info

From: Tyrone Wu
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 12:43:47 EST


Previously when retrieving `bpf_link_info.perf_event` for
kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint, the `name_len` field was not populated by the
kernel, leaving it to reflect the value initially set by the user. This
behavior was inconsistent with how other input/output string buffer
fields function (e.g. `raw_tracepoint.tp_name_len`).

This patch fills `name_len` with the actual size of the string name.

Fixes: 1b715e1b0ec5 ("bpf: Support ->fill_link_info for perf_event")

V6 -> V7:
- Use *ulenp suggestion from Jiri for user name_len
- Set user name_len to 1 when buf returned from bpf_get_perf_event_info() is NULL

V5 -> V6:
- Use simpler buf check while keeping V4
- Fix netdev/checkpatch warning for 80 cols exceeded
- Fix Signed-off-by to use real name instead of git username

V4 -> V5:
- Check that buf is not NULL before retrieving/using its length

V3 -> V4:
- Split patch into separate kernel and selftest change

V2 -> V3:
- Use clearer variable name for user set/inputted name len (name_len -> input_len)
- Change (name_len -> input_len) type from size_t to u32 since it's only received and used as u32

V1 -> V2:
- Use user set *ulen in bpf_copy_to_user before overwriting *ulen
