[PATCH bpf-next 0/4] Add overwrite mode for bpf ring buffer

[Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huaweicloud.com>]

From: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com>

When the bpf ring buffer is full, new events can not be recorded util
the consumer consumes some events to free space. This may cause critical
events to be discarded, such as in fault diagnostic, where recent events
are more critical than older ones.

So add ovewrite mode for bpf ring buffer. In this mode, the new event
overwrites the oldest event when the buffer is full.

Xu Kuohai (4):
  bpf: Add overwrite mode for bpf ring buffer
  libbpf: ringbuf: Add overwrite ring buffer process
  selftests/bpf: Add test for overwrite ring buffer
  selftests/bpf/benchs: Add overwrite mode bench for rb-libbpf
