      ====================
      v7->v8:
      - moved 'u32 num_args' from 'struct tracepoint' into 'struct bpf_raw_event_map'
        that increases memory overhead, but can be optimized/compressed later.
        Now it's zero changes in tracepoint.[ch]
      
      v6->v7:
      - adopted Steven's bpf_raw_tp_map section approach to find tracepoint
        and corresponding bpf probe function instead of kallsyms approach.
        dropped kernel_tracepoint_find_by_name() patch
      
      v5->v6:
      - avoid changing semantics of for_each_kernel_tracepoint() function, instead
        introduce kernel_tracepoint_find_by_name() helper
      
      v4->v5:
      - adopted Daniel's fancy REPEAT macro in bpf_trace.c in patch 6
      
      v3->v4:
      - adopted Linus's CAST_TO_U64 macro to cast any integer, pointer, or small
        struct to u64. That nicely reduced the size of patch 1
      
      v2->v3:
      - with Linus's suggestion introduced generic COUNT_ARGS and CONCATENATE macros
        (or rather moved them from apparmor)
        that cleaned up patch 6
      - added patch 4 to refactor trace_iwlwifi_dev_ucode_error() from 17 args to 4
        Now any tracepoint with >12 args will have build error
      
      v1->v2:
      - simplified api by combing bpf_raw_tp_open(name) + bpf_attach(prog_fd) into
        bpf_raw_tp_open(name, prog_fd) as suggested by Daniel.
        That simplifies bpf_detach as well which is now simple close() of fd.
      - fixed memory leak in error path which was spotted by Daniel.
      - fixed bpf_get_stackid(), bpf_perf_event_output() called from raw tracepoints
      - added more tests
      - fixed allyesconfig build caught by buildbot
      
      v1:
      This patch set is a different way to address the pressing need to access
      task_struct pointers in sched tracepoints from bpf programs.
      
      The first approach simply added these pointers to sched tracepoints:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/753
      which Peter nacked.
      Few options were discussed and eventually the discussion converged on
      doing bpf specific tracepoint_probe_register() probe functions.
      Details here:
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/20/929
      
      Patch 1 is kernel wide cleanup of pass-struct-by-value into
      pass-struct-by-reference into tracepoints.
      
      Patches 2 and 3 are minor cleanups to address allyesconfig build
      
      Patch 4 refactor trace_iwlwifi_dev_ucode_error from 17 to 4 args
      
      Patch 5 introduces COUNT_ARGS macro
      
      Patch 6 introduces BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT api.
      the auto-cleanup and multiple concurrent users are must have
      features of tracing api. For bpf raw tracepoints it looks like:
        // load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
        prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);
      
        // receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint
        // and attach bpf program to it
        raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);
      
      Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool will automatically
      detach bpf program, unload it and unregister tracepoint probe.
      More details in patch 6.
      
      Patch 7 - trivial support in libbpf
      Patches 8, 9 - user space tests
      
      samples/bpf/test_overhead performance on 1 cpu:
      
      tracepoint    base  kprobe+bpf tracepoint+bpf raw_tracepoint+bpf

      bpf: introduce BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT · c4f6699d
      Alexei Starovoitov authored
      Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access
      kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form.
      
      >From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like:
      struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args {
             __u64 args[0];
      };
      
      int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
      {
        // program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint
        // and statically verified at program load+attach time
      }
      
      kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments.
      This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments.
      
      Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees
      to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is.
      The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read()
      helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer.
      
      For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared.
      In assembler it looks like:
      (gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception
      Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception:
         0xffffffff81132080 <+0>:     mov    %ecx,%ecx
         0xffffffff81132082 <+2>:     jmpq   0xffffffff811231f0 <bpf_trace_run3>
      
      where
      
      TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception,
              TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev,
                       const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act),
      
      The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64'
      to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is.
      All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long
      and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text.
      
      This approach gives the lowest possible overhead
      while calling trace_xdp_exception() from kernel C code and
      transitioning into bpf land.
      Since tracepoint+bpf are used at speeds of 1M+ events per second
      this is valuable optimization.
      
      The new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN sys_bpf command is introduced
      that returns anon_inode FD of 'bpf-raw-tracepoint' object.
      
      The user space looks like:
      // load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
      prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);
      // receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint with prog attached
      raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);
      
      Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool that uses this feature
      will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and
      unregister tracepoint probe.
      
      On the kernel side the __bpf_raw_tp_map section of pointers to
      tracepoint definition and to __bpf_trace_*() probe function is used
      to find a tracepoint with "xdp_exception" name and
      corresponding __bpf_trace_xdp_exception() probe function
      which are passed to tracepoint_probe_register() to connect probe
      with tracepoint.
      
      Addition of bpf_raw_tracepoint doesn't interfere with ftrace and perf
      tracepoint mechanisms. perf_event_open() can be used in parallel
      on the same tracepoint.
      Multiple bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd) are permitted.
      Each with its own bpf program. The kernel will execute
      all tracepoint probes and all attached bpf programs.
      
      In the future bpf_raw_tracepoints can be extended with
      query/introspection logic.

      macro: introduce COUNT_ARGS() macro · cf14f27f

      move COUNT_ARGS() macro from apparmor to generic header and extend it
      to count till twelve.
      
      COUNT() was an alternative name for this logic, but it's used for
      different purpose in many other places.
      
      Similarly for CONCATENATE() macro.

      net/wireless/iwlwifi: fix iwlwifi_dev_ucode_error tracepoint · 4fe43c2c
      Alexei Starovoitov authored
      fix iwlwifi_dev_ucode_error tracepoint to pass pointer to a table
      instead of all 17 arguments by value.
      dvm/main.c and mvm/utils.c have 'struct iwl_error_event_table'
      defined with very similar yet subtly different fields and offsets.
      tracepoint is still common and using definition of 'struct iwl_error_event_table'
      from dvm/commands.h while copying fields.
      Long term this tracepoint probably should be split into two.

      - fix trace_hfi1_ctxt_info() to pass large struct by reference instead of by value
      - convert 'type array[]' tracepoint arguments into 'type *array',
        since compiler will warn that sizeof('type array[]') == sizeof('type *array')
        and later should be used instead
      
      The CAST_TO_U64 macro in the later patch will enforce that tracepoint
      arguments can only be integers, pointers, or less than 8 byte structures.
      Larger structures should be passed by reference.
