From a71a0208f8be12caa3787df89c19cc6dfa94dcdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexei Starovoitov Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 18:37:22 -0700 Subject: bpf: introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT program type Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT programs that can be attached to HW and SW perf events (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE and PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE correspondingly in uapi/linux/perf_event.h) The program visible context meta structure is struct bpf_perf_event_data { struct pt_regs regs; __u64 sample_period; }; which is accessible directly from the program: int bpf_prog(struct bpf_perf_event_data *ctx) { ... ctx->sample_period ... ... ctx->regs.ip ... } The bpf verifier rewrites the accesses into kernel internal struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern which allows changing struct perf_sample_data without affecting bpf programs. New fields can be added to the end of struct bpf_perf_event_data in the future. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S.
