Merge branch 'trampoline-fixes'
Jiri Olsa says: ==================== hi, sending 2 fixes to fix kernel support for loading trampoline programs in bcc/bpftrace and allow to unwind through trampoline/dispatcher. Original rfc post [1]. Speedup output of perf bench while running klockstat.py on kprobes vs trampolines: Without: $ perf bench sched messaging -l 50000 ... Total time: 18.571 [sec] With current kprobe tracing: $ perf bench sched messaging -l 50000 ... Total time: 183.395 [sec] With kfunc tracing: $ perf bench sched messaging -l 50000 ... Total time: 39.773 [sec] v4 changes: - rebased on latest bpf-next/master - removed image tree mutex and use trampoline_mutex instead - checking directly for string pointer in patch 1 [Alexei] - skipped helpers patches, as they are no longer needed [Alexei] v3 changes: - added ack from John Fastabend for patch 1 - move out is_bpf_image_address from is_bpf_text_address call [David] v2 changes: - make the unwind work for dispatcher as well - added test for allowed trampolines count - used raw tp pt_regs nest-arrays for trampoline helpers thanks, jirka [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20191229143740.29143-1-jolsa@kernel.org/ ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
