Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e0b6d2ef32 perf trace: Handle "bpf-output" events associated with "__augmented_syscalls__" BPF map
Add an example BPF script that writes syscalls:sys_enter_openat raw
tracepoint payloads augmented with the first 64 bytes of the "filename"
syscall pointer arg.

Then catch it and print it just like with things written to the
"__bpf_stdout__" map associated with a PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT software
event, by just letting the default tracepoint handler in 'perf trace',
trace__event_handler(), to use bpf_output__fprintf(trace, sample), just
like it does with all other PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT events, i.e. just
do a dump on the payload, so that we can check if what is being printed
has at least the first 64 bytes of the "filename" arg:

The augmented_syscalls.c eBPF script:

  # cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c
  // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

  #include <stdio.h>

  struct bpf_map SEC("maps") __augmented_syscalls__ = {
       .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
       .key_size = sizeof(int),
       .value_size = sizeof(u32),
       .max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
  };

  struct syscall_enter_openat_args {
	unsigned long long common_tp_fields;
	long		   syscall_nr;
	long		   dfd;
	char		   *filename_ptr;
	long		   flags;
	long		   mode;
  };

  struct augmented_enter_openat_args {
	struct syscall_enter_openat_args args;
	char				 filename[64];
  };

  int syscall_enter(openat)(struct syscall_enter_openat_args *args)
  {
	struct augmented_enter_openat_args augmented_args;

	probe_read(&augmented_args.args, sizeof(augmented_args.args), args);
	probe_read_str(&augmented_args.filename, sizeof(augmented_args.filename), args->filename_ptr);
	perf_event_output(args, &__augmented_syscalls__, BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU,
			  &augmented_args, sizeof(augmented_args));
	return 1;
  }

  #

So it will just prepare a raw_syscalls:sys_enter payload for the
"openat" syscall.

This will eventually be done for all syscalls with pointer args,
globally or just when the user asks, using some spec, which args of
which syscalls it wants "expanded" this way, we'll probably start with
just all the syscalls that have char * pointers with familiar names, the
ones we already handle with the probe:vfs_getname kprobe if it is in
place hooking the kernel getname_flags() function used to copy from user
the paths.

Running it we get:

  # perf trace -e perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
     0.000 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:X?.C......................`\..................../etc/ld.so.cache..#......,....ao.k...............k......1.".........
     0.006 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x5c600da8, flags: CLOEXEC
     0.008 ( 0.005 ms): cat/31292 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x5c600da8, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 3
     0.036 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:X?.C.......................\..................../lib64/libc.so.6......... .\....#........?.......=.C..../.".........
     0.037 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x5c808ce0, flags: CLOEXEC
     0.039 ( 0.007 ms): cat/31292 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x5c808ce0, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 3
     0.323 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:X?.C.....................P....................../etc/passwd......>.C....@................>.C.....,....ao.>.C........
     0.325 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: 0xe8be50d6
     0.327 ( 0.004 ms): cat/31292 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0xe8be50d6                                 ) = 3
  #

We need to go on optimizing this to avoid seding trash or zeroes in the
pointer content payload, using the return from bpf_probe_read_str(), but
to keep things simple at this stage and make incremental progress, lets
leave it at that for now.

README

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.
