From 70ed506c3bbcfa846d4636b23051ca79fa4781f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrii Nakryiko Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 20:31:57 -0800 Subject: bpf: Introduce pinnable bpf_link abstraction Introduce bpf_link abstraction, representing an attachment of BPF program to a BPF hook point (e.g., tracepoint, perf event, etc). bpf_link encapsulates ownership of attached BPF program, reference counting of a link itself, when reference from multiple anonymous inodes, as well as ensures that release callback will be called from a process context, so that users can safely take mutex locks and sleep. Additionally, with a new abstraction it's now possible to generalize pinning of a link object in BPF FS, allowing to explicitly prevent BPF program detachment on process exit by pinning it in a BPF FS and let it open from independent other process to keep working with it. Convert two existing bpf_link-like objects (raw tracepoint and tracing BPF program attachments) into utilizing bpf_link framework, making them pinnable in BPF FS. More FD-based bpf_links will be added in follow up patches.
