[PATCH bpf-next 0/3] uprobes: two common case speed ups

From: Andrii Nakryiko
Date: Tue Mar 12 2024 - 17:03:04 EST


This patch set implements two speed ups for uprobe/uretprobe runtime execution
path for some common scenarios: BPF-only uprobes (patches #1 and #2) and
system-wide (non-PID-specific) uprobes (patch #3). Please see individual
patches for details.

Given I haven't worked with uprobe code before, I'm unfamiliar with
conventions in this subsystem, including which kernel tree patches should be
sent to. For now I based all the changes on top of bpf-next/master, which is
where I tested and benchmarked everything anyways. Please advise what should
I use as a base for subsequent revision. Thanks.

Andrii Nakryiko (3):
uprobes: encapsulate preparation of uprobe args buffer
uprobes: prepare uprobe args buffer lazily
uprobes: add speculative lockless system-wide uprobe filter check
