Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v10 1/8] bpf: Extend BPF syscall with common attributes support
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 23:11:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260211151115.78013-2-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260211151115.78013-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
Add generic BPF syscall support for passing common attributes.
The initial set of common attributes includes:
1. 'log_buf': User-provided buffer for storing logs.
2. 'log_size': Size of the log buffer.
3. 'log_level': Log verbosity level.
4. 'log_true_size': Actual log size reported by kernel.
The common-attribute pointer and its size are passed as the 4th and 5th
syscall arguments. A new command bit, 'BPF_COMMON_ATTRS' ('1 << 16'),
indicates that common attributes are supplied.
This commit adds syscall and uapi plumbing. Command-specific handling is
added in follow-up patches.
