Subject: [PATCHv7 bpf-next 0/9] uprobe: uretprobe speed up
Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 14:11:40 +0200

hi,
as part of the effort on speeding up the uprobes [0] coming with
return uprobe optimization by using syscall instead of the trap
on the uretprobe trampoline.

The speed up depends on instruction type that uprobe is installed
and depends on specific HW type, please check patch 1 for details.

Patches 1-8 are based on bpf-next/master, but patch 2 and 3 are
apply-able on linux-trace.git tree probes/for-next branch.
Patch 9 is based on man-pages master.

v7 changes:
- fixes in man page [Alejandro Colomar]
- fixed patch #1 fixes tag [Oleg]

Also available at:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  uretprobe_syscall

thanks,
jirka


Notes to check list items in Documentation/process/adding-syscalls.rst:

- System Call Alternatives
  New syscall seems like the best way in here, because we need
  just to quickly enter kernel with no extra arguments processing,
  which we'd need to do if we decided to use another syscall.

- Designing the API: Planning for Extension
  The uretprobe syscall is very specific and most likely won't be
  extended in the future.

  At the moment it does not take any arguments and even if it does
  in future, it's allowed to be called only from trampoline prepared
  by kernel, so there'll be no broken user.

- Designing the API: Other Considerations
  N/A because uretprobe syscall does not return reference to kernel
  object.

- Proposing the API
  Wiring up of the uretprobe system call is in separate change,
  selftests and man page changes are part of the patchset.

- Generic System Call Implementation
  There's no CONFIG option for the new functionality because it
  keeps the same behaviour from the user POV.

- x86 System Call Implementation
  It's 64-bit syscall only.

- Compatibility System Calls (Generic)
  N/A uretprobe syscall has no arguments and is not supported
  for compat processes.

- Compatibility System Calls (x86)
  N/A uretprobe syscall is not supported for compat processes.

- System Calls Returning Elsewhere
  N/A.

- Other Details
  N/A.

- Testing
  Adding new bpf selftests and ran ltp on top of this change.

- Man Page
  Attached.

- Do not call System Calls in the Kernel
  N/A.
