[RFC 1/1] bpf: Invoke tracing progs using fprobe on archs without direct call

From: Florent Revest
Date: Tue Nov 08 2022 - 17:07:37 EST


Some architectures may not support ftrace direct calls and can not jump
directly to a BPF trampoline. This provides a fallback built on fprobe
(itself built on a ftrace ops and rethook) so that BPF tracing programs
can still be called on these architectures.

The behavior of the entry and exit hooks somewhat mirrors JITted
trampolines but it has a few implementation differences. First of all,
the code is not JITed. Arguments are converted from a ftrace_regs
structure to a BPF context instead of being read from registers
directly. And arguments for fexit are saved in the rethook nodes pool
rather than in a stack frame below the traced function.
