With BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY + bpf_tail_call() we want to have BPF
programs, i.e. functions in a object file that perf's BPF loader
shouldn't try to attach to anything, i.e. "!syscalls:sys_enter_open"
should just stay there, not be attached to a tracepoint with that name,
it'll be used by, for instance, 'perf trace' to associate with syscalls
that copy, in addition to the syscall raw args, a filename pointed by
the first arg, i.e. multiple syscalls that need copying the same pointer
arg in the same way, as a filename, for instance, will share the same
BPF program/function.
Right now when perf's BPF loader sees a function with a name
"sys:name" it'll look for a tracepoint and will associate that BPF
program with it, say:
SEC("raw_syscalls:sys_enter")
int sys_enter(struct syscall_enter_args *args)
{
//SNIP
}
Will crate a perf_evsel tracepoint event and then associate with it that
BPF program.
This convention at some point will switch to the one used by the BPF
loader in libbpf, but to experiment with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY in
'perf trace' lets do this, that will not require changing too much
stuff.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
