Using bpf_probe_read_str() from samples/bpf causes compiler warning.
e.g.
warning: implicit declaration of function 'bpf_probe_read_str' is invalid in C99
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
num = bpf_probe_read_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ctx->di);
^
1 warning generated.
Add bpf_probe_read_str() to bpf_helpers.h so it can be used by
samples/bpf programs.

In general no objections to it, but it would need an in-tree
user first:
$ git grep -n bpf_probe_read_str tools/
tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:596: * int bpf_probe_read_str(void *dst, int size, const void *unsafe_ptr)
$
Why not adding this along with a sample?
Thanks,
Daniel

Okay, I will send new patch along with new sample or add usage of
bpf_probe_read_str() in one of our exiting sample :)
Thanks.

Sounds great, the latter is totally fine as well. :-)
Thanks,
