I'm not touching dyn_ftrace.
Actually calling my stuff ftrace+bpf is probably not correct either.
I'm reusing code patching of nop into call that ftrace does. That's it.
Turned out I cannot use 99% of ftrace facilities.
ftrace_caller, ftrace_call, ftrace_ops_list_func and the whole ftrace api
with ip, parent_ip and pt_regs cannot be used for this part of the work.
bpf prog needs to access raw function arguments. To achieve that I'm
generating code on the fly. Just like bpf jits do.
As soon as I have something reviewable I'll share it.
That's the stuff I mentioned to you at KR.
First nop of a function will be replaced with a call into bpf.
Very similar to what existing kprobe+bpf does, but faster and safer.
Second part of calling real ftrace from bpf is on todo list.
