Subject: [RFC PATCH bpf-next v2 1/6] bpf: Extend bpf syscall with common attributes support
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:33:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911163328.93490-2-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911163328.93490-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>

This patch extends the 'bpf()' syscall to support a set of common
attributes shared across all BPF commands:

1. 'log_buf': User-provided buffer for storing logs
2. 'log_size': Size of the log buffer
3. 'log_level': Log verbosity level

These common attributes are passed as the 4th argument to the 'bpf()'
syscall, with the 5th argument specifying the size of this structure.

To indicate the use of these common attributes from userspace, a new flag
'BPF_COMMON_ATTRS' ('1 << 16') is introduced. This flag is OR-ed into the
'cmd' field of the syscall.

When 'cmd & BPF_COMMON_ATTRS' is set, the kernel will copy the common
attributes from userspace into kernel space for use.
