Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 0/2] libbpf: support "module:function" syntax for tracing programs
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2024 11:38:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1714469650.git.vmalik@redhat.com> (raw)

In some situations, it is useful to explicitly specify a kernel module
to search for a tracing program target (e.g. when a function of the same
name exists in multiple modules or in vmlinux).

This change enables that by allowing the "module:function" syntax for
the find_kernel_btf_id function. Thanks to this, the syntax can be used
both from a SEC macro (i.e. `SEC(fentry/module:function)`) and via the
bpf_program__set_attach_target API call.

--- 

Changes in v2:
- stylistic changes (suggested by Andrii)
- added Andrii's ack to the second patch

Viktor Malik (2):
  libbpf: support "module:function" syntax for tracing programs
  selftests/bpf: add tests for the "module:function" syntax
