[RFC PATCH v6 00/32] perf tools: filtering events using eBPF programs

[Wang Nan]

This is the 6th version which tries to introduce eBPF programs to perf.
It enables 'perf record' to filter events using eBPF programs like:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c sleep 1

and

 # perf record --event bpf-file.o sleep 1

This patch series is based on tip/perf/core (a3d8654).

Compared with v5 patch, this series allows user to pass BPF
scriptlet source code file directly, instead of requiring user to
pre-compile it into an ELF object. Which is done mainly by patch 24/32.

In addition, to help users setup LLVM, [bpf] perf config section is
appended. 4 command line options are also appended to 'perf record'
for setting pathes and options of clang and llc. Which is done by patch
25/32 and 32/32.

Other improvements:

 1. Adjust context.

 2. Get rid of 'trailing whitespace' and 'space before tab in indent'
    problems.

 3. Error messages are improved when BPF API checking fail.

In this series:

 Patch 1/32 adds a feature check to check version of eBPF API.

 Patch 2/32 - 21/32 introduce libbpf, which first parse eBPF object
   files then load maps and programs into kernel. These patches are
   already received 'Acked-by' from Alexei Starovoitov except patch
   5/32, which enables opening a memory-based object file image using
   bpf_object__open_buffer().

 Patch 22/32 - 32/32 are perf related. Patch 24, 25 and 32 are new to
   support dynamical compiling.

Here is an example shows the using of dynamic compiling:

   # perf record --event lock_page.c ls /
   Added new event:
     perf_bpf_probe:lock_page (on __lock_page)
   
   You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
   
   	perf record -e perf_bpf_probe:lock_page -aR sleep 1
   
   Added new event:
     perf_bpf_probe:lock_page_ret (on __lock_page%return)
   
   You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
   
   	perf record -e perf_bpf_probe:lock_page_ret -aR sleep 1
   
   Added new event:
     perf_bpf_probe:unlock_page (on unlock_page)
   
   You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
   
   	perf record -e perf_bpf_probe:unlock_page -aR sleep 1
   
   bin  boot  dev	etc  home  init  lib  lib64  linuxrc  media  mnt  proc	root  run  sbin  sys  tmp  usr	var
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.002 MB perf.data ]
   Removed event: perf_bpf_probe:lock_page
   Removed event: perf_bpf_probe:lock_page_ret
   Removed event: perf_bpf_probe:unlock_page

Where lock_page.c can be found from:

[RFC PATCH v6 01/32] tools build: Add feature check for eBPF API

[Wang Nan]

In this patch, eBPF API is checked by compiling a c source file which
uses fields in bpf_attr which will be used by libbpf.

[RFC PATCH v6 02/32] bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library to tools

[Wang Nan]

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existance of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Kernel BPF API is also checked. "bpfdep" is used for it.

[RFC PATCH v6 03/32] bpf tools: Allow caller to set printing function

[Wang Nan]

By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she
own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those
functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning
printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing
is NULL.

This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own
logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated
logging level control.

[RFC PATCH v6 04/32] bpf tools: Open eBPF object file and do basic validation

[Wang Nan]

This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will
be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to
user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this
patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic
validation according to e_type and e_machine.

All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.

After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.

zfree() and zclose() are introduced to ensure setting NULL pointers and
negative file descriptors after resources are released.

[RFC PATCH v6 05/32] bpf tools: Read eBPF object from buffer

[Wang Nan]

To support dynamic compiling, this patch allows caller to pass a
in-memory buffer to libbpf by bpf_object__open_buffer(). libbpf
calls elf_memory() to open it as ELF object file.

Because __bpf_object__open() collects all required data and won't need
that buffer anymore, libbpf uses that buffer directly instead of clone
a new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other
things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return.

[RFC PATCH v6 06/32] bpf tools: Check endianess and make libbpf fail early

[Wang Nan]

Check endianess according to EHDR. Code is taken from
tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c.

Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianess. Even if we swap
eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with
endianess in code logical generated by LLVM.

Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let
LLVM to create good code.

[RFC PATCH v6 11/32] bpf tools: Collect eBPF programs from their own sections

[Wang Nan]

This patch collects all programs in an object file into an array of
'struct bpf_program' for further processing. That structure is for
representing each eBPF program. 'bpf_prog' should be a better name, but
it has been used by linux/filter.h. Although it is a kernel space name,
I still prefer to call it 'bpf_program' to prevent possible confusion.

[RFC PATCH v6 12/32] bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections

[Wang Nan]

This patch collects relocation sections into 'struct object'.
Such sections are used for connecting maps to bpf programs.
'reloc' field in 'struct bpf_object' is introduced for storing
such informations.

This patch simply store the data into 'reloc' field. Following
patch will parse them to know the exact instructions which are
needed to be relocated.

Note that the collected data will be invalid after ELF object file
is closed.

[RFC PATCH v6 13/32] bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program

[Wang Nan]

This patch records the indics of instructions which are needed to be
relocated. Those information are saved in 'reloc_desc' field in
'struct bpf_program'. In loading phase (this patch takes effect in
opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by
map loading instructions.

Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end
of 'opening' phase, ELF information will no longer be valid in
'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are
loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction.

'struct bpf_map_def' is introduce in this patch to let us know how many
maps defined in the object.

[RFC PATCH v6 14/32] bpf tools: Add bpf.c/h for common bpf operations

[Wang Nan]

This patch introduces bpf.c and bpf.h, which hold common functions
issuing bpf syscall. The goal of these two files is to hide syscall
completly from user.  Note that bpf.c and bpf.h only deal with kernel
interface. Things like structure of 'map' section in the ELF object is
not cared by of bpf.[ch].

We first introduce bpf_create_map().

Note that, since functions in bpf.[ch] are wrapper of sys_bpf, they
don't use OO style naming.

[RFC PATCH v6 15/32] bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file

[Wang Nan]

This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using
bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in
'struct bpf_object'.

Previous patches parse ELF object file and collecte required data, but
doesn't play with kernel. They belong to 'opening' phase. This patch is
the first patch in 'loading' phase. 'loaded' field is introduced to
'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading one object twice, because loading
phase clears resources collected during opening which become useless
after loading. In this patch, maps_buf is cleared.

[RFC PATCH v6 16/32] bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs

[Wang Nan]

If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction
which loads an absolute address into a register, like this:

  ld_64   r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)>
  ...
  call    2

That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section.
To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing
the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by
eBPF map functions.

This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by
patch 'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections'.
For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding
file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to
BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction.

[RFC PATCH v6 18/32] bpf tools: Load eBPF programs in object files into kernel

[Wang Nan]

This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load
programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field
in 'struct bpf_program'.

During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return.
Note that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first
loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log
buffer to avoid potention multi-thread problem.

Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading.

structures onto a list (hidden to user). bpf_object__for_each() is
introduced to allow users iterate over each objects.
bpf_object__for_each() is safe even user close the object during
iteration.

[RFC PATCH v6 22/32] perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf

[Wang Nan]

By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to
build libbpf during building if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF
nor NO_LIBBPF is set. The newly introduced code is similar to libapi
and libtraceevent building in Makefile.perf.

MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.

Error messages are also updated to notify users about the disable of
BPF support of 'perf record' if libelf is missed or BPF API check
failed.

[RFC PATCH v6 23/32] perf record: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

[Wang Nan]

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by
an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that
file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls
bpf_object__open() for the object files.

Instead of introducing evsel to evlist during parsing, events
selected by eBPF object files are appended separately. The reason
is:

 1. During parsing, the probing points have not been initialized.

 2. Currently we are unable to call add_perf_probe_events() twice,
    therefore we have to wait until all such events are collected,
    then probe all points by one call.

The real probing and selecting is reside in following patches.

'bpf-loader.[ch]' are introduced in this patch. Which will be the
interface between perf and libbpf. bpf__prepare_load() resides in
bpf-loader.c. Dummy functions should be used because bpf-loader.c is
available only when CONFIG_LIBBPF is on.

[RFC PATCH v6 24/32] perf record: Compile scriptlets if pass '.c' to --event

[Wang Nan]

This patch enables passing source files to --event directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) 'struct bpf_param' is introduced to store compiler related options;

 2) bpf__compile() is introduced for compiling source code by calling
    clang and llc.

 3) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

the defaults are ok-ish, but llc is never in PATH.
So most likely it won't work out of the box.
I think the cleanest option is too wait a little bit
until we finish clang integration.
(hopefully few more days)

we've quite been busy on llvm side
and I'm excited to announce that BPF backend finally
graduated from experimental.
So now anyone can just pull the latest llvm and
bpf will be present by default.
No more cmake -DLLVM_EXPERIMENTAL...

Once clang integration is complete. One can pull
upsteam llvm and clang and just use 'clang -O2 -c -march=bpf file.c'

not terribly informative hint.
I think would be good to point to some readme or at least mention
that only the latest clang/llvm support bpf.
Either svn/git trunk or upcoming 3.7
May be a link to llvm.org?

Good news, so llc part should be removed.

Next version I'd like to use following config options:

[llvm]
     clang-bpf-cmd-template = "$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS -c 
$CLANG_SOURCE -emit-llvm -O2 -o - | /path/to/llc -march=bpf 
-filetype=obj -o -"
     clang-path = "/path/to/clang"
     clang-opt = ""

And the default template should be:

$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS -c "$CLANG_SOURCE" -emit-llvm -O2 -o -

Then with environment variable tricks we make it work with popen.

By this way we can get rid of llc in perf side, and make it work even 
before clang
integration is complete.

Thank you.

Did you mean this?

  $CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS -O2 -c "$BPF_SOURCE" -march=bpf -o -

Thank you for this notice.

Now I'm trying this:

       "$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS $KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS "
       "-Wno-unused-value -Wno-pointer-sign "
       "-working-directory $WORKING_DIR "
       " -c \"$CLANG_SOURCE\" -march=bpf -O2 -o -"

WORKING_DIR is appended because we will get relative include directory 
using the
Makefile trick.

clang bpf support is in.
so please pull the latest llvm and clang, rebuild and you should
be able to use:
clang -O2 -target bpf -c file.c
Just like any other arch use -S to generate .s and so on.
Old style 'clang -emit-llvm -o - | llc -march=bpf' is fine too.

To build llvm/clang do:
git clone https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm.git
git clone https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang.git llvm/tools/clang
mkdir llvm/build/
cd llvm/build/
cmake .. \
   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
   -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="X86;BPF" \
   -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local/llvm
make -j
sudo make install

[RFC PATCH v6 25/32] perf tools: Add 'bpf.' config section to perf default config

[Wang Nan]

perf_bpf_config() is added to parse 'bpf' section in perf config file.
Following is an example:

 [bpf]
   clang-path = /llvm/bin/x86_64-linux-clang"
   llc-path = /llvm/bin/x86_64-linux-llc"
   clang-opt = "-nostdinc -isystem /llvm/lib/clang/include -I/kernel/arch/x86/include ..."
   llc-opt = ""

Error messages are updated to hint user about these options.

a section to specify -I flags to compile prog.c is useful,
but users shouldn't be populating it manually for kernel headers.
How about adding a script that can figure out $(LINUXINCLUDE)
automatically ?
You can even invoke such flag detector from perf via something like:
f = open /tmpdir/Makefile
fprintf(f, "obj-y := dummy.o\n");
fprintf(f, "$(obj)/%%.o: $(src)/%%.c\n");
fprintf(f, "\t@echo -n \"$(NOSTDINC_FLAGS) $(LINUXINCLUDE) 
$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)\" > %s\n", cachefile);
snprintf(cmd, "make -s -C /lib/modules/%s/build M=%s dummy.o",
    uts_release, tmpdir);
system(cmd);
read flags from cachefile and cache it for the future.
...
or as independent script that populates .perfconfig

That's cool, but could I implement it later? Introducing such stuffs 
also introduces
a lot of trouble tasks:

1. Dependency on make and kernel build. We should search make and kbuild 
dir dynamically
    and also gives users the right to specify them by theirselves. A lot 
of configuration
    options should be appended: --make-path=/path/to/make 
--kbuild-dir=kernel/build/dir
    in cmdline and
    [kbuild]
       make_path = /path/to/make
       kbuild_dir = /path/to/kbuild
    in .perfconfig.

2. Selection of architectures. Although currently we want it to work 
only when we dynamically
    compile a script, I think finally we should consider cross compiling 
bpf objects. Then cmdline
    generation becomes complex. Also, --arch and [kbuild.arch] should 
also be introduced.

3. Kernel dependency. Consider if kernel decides to change its interface...

I think currently we can pop some messages to let user know how to get 
include dirs manually,
let further patches to do it for them automatically.

P.S.

Have you tested your Makefile? It doesn't work for me:

#  cat ./Makefile
obj-y := dummy.o

$(obj)/%.o: $(src)/%.c
     @echo -n "$(NOSTDINC_FLAGS) $(LINUXINCLUDE) $(EXTRA_CFLAGS)" > xxxx

# make -s -C kernel/build/dir M=`pwd` dummy.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `dummy.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2

I think --clang-opts shouldn't be introduced without
automatic flag finder. Ease of use is important.

they're not mandatory. If 'make' is not in a PATH, it's dead end.
kernel build is very likely installed in /lib/modules/

that's a rare use case. This one can be added later.

change what interface? 'make M=' ? sure. then lots of scripts will be
broken.

works as a charm:

What about automatic finder failed? It is possible that user environment 
doesn't have
kbuild directory installed, should we make it another deadend? Then 
these 'ease of use'
design is useless for me because in embedded area usecases are always rare.

I think we can hide --clang-opt from cmdline, make it reside in 
.perfconfig only, and
pop some messages on it when failure. Most of the time users need to 
config only once.
Still not very hard, right?

'make M=' is unlikely to be changed. However it is possible for kernel 
to append
more variable for specifying include, or devide $(NOSTDINC_FLAGS) 
$(LINUXINCLUDE)
and $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) into smaller pieces. I'm not quite sure whether 
those make
variables are part of kbuild interface.

Finally I made it work. dummy.c must exist on current directory.

What we are talking about seems not very suit to be implemented using C. 
It should be implemented
using a shell script:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
TMPDIR=`mktemp -d`
cat << EOF > $TMPDIR/Makefile
obj-y := dummy.o

\$(obj)/%.o: \$(src)/%.c
         @echo -n "\$(NOSTDINC_FLAGS) \$(LINUXINCLUDE) \$(EXTRA_CFLAGS)" 
 > $TMPDIR/cflags
EOF

touch $TMPDIR/dummy.c

DEFAULT_KBUILD_DIR=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

if ! test -d "$KBUILD_DIR"
then
     KBUILD_DIR=$DEFAULT_KBUILD_DIR
fi

make -s -C $KBUILD_DIR M=$TMPDIR $OTHER_OPTS dummy.o 2>/dev/null

cat $TMPDIR/cflags 2>/dev/null
RET=$?

rm -rf $TMPDIR
exit $RET

In this script, we can inject KBUILD_DIR and OTHER_OPTS to select another
kbuild directory and "ARCH=" option.

I'll embed this script in my next version.

Thaknk you.

fine, let's use the script for now and inform the user

Maybe a dummy question.  For what reason it needs such headers?  Is it
possible to have a (part of?) copy of needed bits in the perf source?

It is improtant for eBPF script that it should be able to extract 
information
from kernel pointers. For example: to extract registers from 'struct 
pt_regs' and
to extract fields from 'struct page *'. I believe this is an improtant 
reason
why we decide to use C-like language instead of designing a DLS. 
Therefore, when
compiling .c to .o, kernel source is mandatory. Since we don't want to 
limit the
ability of data accessing of eBPF scripts, we have to give it ability to 
access all
kernel headers.

Thank you for reviewing.

[RFC PATCH v6 26/32] perf tools: Parse probe points of eBPF programs during preparation

[Wang Nan]

This patch parses section name of each program, and creates
corresponding 'struct perf_probe_event' structure.

parse_perf_probe_command() is used to do the main parsing works.
Parsing result is stored into a global array. This is because
add_perf_probe_events() is non-reentrantable. In following patch,
add_perf_probe_events will be introduced to insert kprobes. It accepts
an array of 'struct perf_probe_event' and do all works in one call.

Define PERF_BPF_PROBE_GROUP as "perf_bpf_probe", which will be used
as group name of all eBPF probing points.

This patch utilizes bpf_program__set_private(), bind perf_probe_event
with bpf program by private field.

[RFC PATCH v6 27/32] perf probe: Attach trace_probe_event with perf_probe_event

[Wang Nan]

This patch drops struct __event_package structure. Instead, it adds
trace_probe_event into 'struct perf_probe_event'.

trace_probe_event information give further patches a chance to access
actual probe points and actual arguments. Using them, bpf_loader will
be able to attach one bpf program to different probing points of a
inline functions (which has multiple probing points) and glob
functions. Moreover, by reading arguments information, bpf code for
reading those arguments can be generated.

[RFC PATCH v6 28/32] perf record: Probe at kprobe points

[Wang Nan]

In this patch, kprobe points are created using add_perf_probe_events.
Since all events are already grouped together in an array, calling
add_perf_probe_events() once creates all of them.

probe_conf.max_probes is set to MAX_PROBES to support glob matching.

Wouldn't it be better to call bpf__unprobe() here or goto
out_symbol_exit?

[RFC PATCH v6 30/32] perf tools: Add bpf_fd field to evsel and config it

[Wang Nan]

This patch adds a bpf_fd field to 'struct evsel' then introduces method
to config it. In bpf-loader, a bpf__for_each_program() function is added.
Which calls the callback function for each eBPF programs with their event
structure and file descriptors. In evlist.c, perf_evlist__add_bpf()
is added to add all bpf events into evlist. The event names are found
from probe_trace_event structure. 'perf record' calls
perf_evlist__add_bpf().

Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__for_each_program() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid compiling
error.

[RFC PATCH v6 31/32] perf tools: Attach eBPF program to perf event

[Wang Nan]

In this patch PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF
program to a newly created perf event. The file descriptor of the
eBPF program is passed to perf record using previous patches, and
stored into evsel->bpf_fd.

It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the
ioctl, EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.

These 4 options should be wrapped inside "#ifdef HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT" 
because
it requires bpf_param which won't be compiled if HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is set.

Another choice should be introducing something like 
tools/perf/utils/llvm.c and
putting all llvm related things into it. If other part of perf also use 
llvm,
making a new file to hold those options should be a better way.

looks good. I hope only --clang will be used from time to time.
Today, indeed, --llc* are needed too.

btw, our experimental libbpfprog.so (which is clang and llvm libs
compiled into single .so with C api for compiling .c into bpf):
$ ls -lh libbpfprog.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 ast ast 31M Jun  9 16:49 libbpfprog.so

not tiny, but I think we should be able to include it into perf,
then perf will only have build dependencies on llvm instead of
run-time dependencies.
We'll release this lib as soon as it's a bit more stable.

Right. Please see another mail I posted. I'd like to generate command using
command template instead of printf() in next version.

With template, --llc can be removed now.

traffic on llvm/clang is very heavy. probably as much as lkml.
you can subscribe to llvmweekly instead.
In the future I'll cc you on new things in that area.

Can we suppress these messages? They are misleading, because we will not
be able to " use it in all perf tools", since they will be removed right
after this ' perf record'  session ends.

They may have value as debugging aid, so that we see what probes are
being put in place, etc, but for the default case they are just annoying
scrolling.

I'll try applying the patches and running this script, perhaps it would
be a good idea to have some /examples/  directory under som of the
tools/ directory, so that everything that is needed to test this is in
the source tree.

We need to at some point, best if right now, to make 'perf test' have an
entry for this, is this in this patchkit?

I.e. plain running 'perf test'  will tell us if all this works fine, now
and everytime somebody with all the needed bits runs 'perf test'.

Thanks for the hard work!

Sure. I don't want to alert API of add_perf_probe_events() and 
__add_probe_trace_events(),
so in next version I'd like to introduce a new field in probe_conf to 
control these output.

Will append. Tow parts: 1. testing llvm compiling BPF source code; 2. 
loading it into kernel.

agree with Arnaldo. The output is misleading.
All these events will disappear when 'perf record' is over.
Please trim it.

btw we've been thinking how to make truly global programs
and maps, so that they can be used in 'perf probe' interface.
Right now in 'tc' we're using bpf_agent. It's a user space
demon that keeps prog_fd and map_fds and passes them to other
apps via scm_rights.
We've started experimenting with fuse for this purpose as well,
but that's similar user space demon and not very convenient
for perf to talk to such fuse.
The work in that area is still very rough, just fyi.

Cool stuff, but please leave us without daemons, we've exorcised from
day one ;-)

agreed. I've been looking at hacking debugfs, tracefs, sysfs, but
none of them fit well, since such infra needs to be generic and support
both tracing and networking needs. Looking at procfs at the moment.
Ideally I would like programs/maps to 'attach to a file', so that
they don't disappear when user app exits. Then opening such file
in the future would get user app a new FD that can be used to access
this global map or program. When the file is removed, the prog/map
would be unloaded.
