trace_helpers.c: Add helpers to poll multiple perf FDs for events

2018-06-27T09:01:03Z

Add two new helper functions to trace_helpers that supports polling multiple perf file descriptors for events. These are used to the XDP perf_event_output example, which needs to work with one perf fd per CPU.

tools/bpf: add ksym_get_addr() in trace_helpers

2018-05-25T01:18:20Z

Given a kernel function name, ksym_get_addr() will return the kernel address for this function, or 0 if it cannot find this function name in /proc/kallsyms. This function will be used later when a kernel address is used to initiate a kprobe perf event. Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov

tools: bpf: move the event reading loop to libbpf

2018-05-10T23:40:52Z

There are two copies of event reading loop - in bpftool and trace_helpers "library". Consolidate them and move the code to libbpf. Return codes from trace_helpers are kept, but renamed to include LIBBPF prefix.

samples/bpf: move common-purpose trace functions to selftests

2018-04-29T15:45:54Z

There is no functionality change in this patch. The common-purpose trace functions, including perf_event polling and ksym lookup, are moved from trace_output_user.c and bpf_load.c to selftests/bpf/trace_helpers.c so that these function can be reused later in selftests.
