Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 6ccc18a9a1 perf trace: Make the augmented_syscalls filter out the tracepoint event
When we attach a eBPF object to a tracepoint, if we return 1, then that
tracepoint will be stored in the perf's ring buffer. In the
augmented_syscalls.c case we want to just attach and _override_ the
tracepoint payload with an augmented, extended one.

In this example, tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c, we are
attaching to the 'openat' syscall, and adding, after the
syscalls:sys_enter_openat usual payload as defined by
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/format, a
snapshot of its sole pointer arg:

  # grep 'field:.*\*' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/format
	field:const char * filename;	offset:24;	size:8;	signed:0;
  #

For now this is not being considered, the next csets will make use of
it, but as this is overriding the syscall tracepoint enter, we don't
want that event appearing on the ring buffer, just our synthesized one.

Before:

  # perf trace -e ~acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
     0.000 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC
     0.006 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: , flags: CLOEXEC
     0.007 ( 0.004 ms): cat/24044 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x216dda8, flags: CLOEXEC                  ) = 3
     0.028 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: CLOEXEC
     0.030 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: , flags: CLOEXEC
     0.031 ( 0.006 ms): cat/24044 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x2375ce0, flags: CLOEXEC                  ) = 3
     0.291 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/passwd
     0.293 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename:
     0.294 ( 0.004 ms): cat/24044 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x637db06b                                 ) = 3
  #

After:

  # perf trace -e ~acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
     0.000 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x9c6a1da8, flags: CLOEXEC
     0.005 ( 0.015 ms): cat/27341 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x9c6a1da8, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 3
     0.040 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x9c8a9ce0, flags: CLOEXEC
     0.041 ( 0.006 ms): cat/27341 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x9c8a9ce0, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 3
     0.294 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x482a706b
     0.296 ( 0.067 ms): cat/27341 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x482a706b                                 ) = 3
  #

Now lets replace that __augmented_syscalls__ name with the syscall name,
using:

  # grep 'field:.*syscall_nr' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/format
	field:int __syscall_nr;	offset:8;	size:4;	signed:1;
  #

That the synthesized payload has exactly where the syscall enter
tracepoint puts it.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
