Subject: [PATCHv4 bpf-next 17/25] libbpf: Add support to create tracing multi link
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 09:18:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324081846.2334094-18-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324081846.2334094-1-jolsa@kernel.org>
Adding bpf_program__attach_tracing_multi function for attaching
tracing program to multiple functions.
struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_tracing_multi(const struct bpf_program *prog,
const char *pattern,
const struct bpf_tracing_multi_opts *opts);
User can specify functions to attach with 'pattern' argument that
allows wildcards (*?' supported) or provide BTF ids of functions
in array directly via opts argument. These options are mutually
exclusive.
When using BTF ids, user can also provide cookie value for each
provided id/function, that can be retrieved later in bpf program
with bpf_get_attach_cookie helper. Each cookie value is paired with
provided BTF id with the same array index.
Adding support to auto attach programs with following sections:
fsession.multi/<pattern>
fsession.multi.s/<pattern>
fentry.multi/<pattern>
fexit.multi/<pattern>
fentry.multi.s/<pattern>
fexit.multi.s/<pattern>
The provided <pattern> is used as 'pattern' argument in
bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts function.
The <pattern> allows to specify optional kernel module name with
following syntax:
<module>:<function_pattern>
In order to attach tracing_multi link to a module functions:
- program must be loaded with 'module' btf fd
(in attr::attach_btf_obj_fd)
- bpf_program__attach_tracing_multi must either have
pattern with module spec or BTF ids from the module
