Subject[PATCH 0/5] ioctl()-based API to query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps
Date
Implement binary ioctl()-based interface to /proc/<pid>/maps file to allow
applications to query VMA information more efficiently than through textual
processing of /proc/<pid>/maps contents. See patch #2 for the context,
justification, and nuances of the API design.

Patch #1 is a refactoring to keep VMA name logic determination in one place.
Patch #2 is the meat of kernel-side API.
Patch #3 just syncs UAPI header (linux/fs.h) into tools/include.
Patch #4 adjusts BPF selftests logic that currently parses /proc/<pid>/maps to
optionally use this new ioctl()-based API, if supported.
Patch #5 implements a simple C tool to demonstrate intended efficient use (for
both textual and binary interfaces) and allows benchmarking them. Patch itself
also has performance numbers of a test based on one of the medium-sized
internal applications taken from production.

This patch set was based on top of next-20240503 tag in linux-next tree.
Not sure what should be the target tree for this, I'd appreciate any guidance,
thank you!

Andrii Nakryiko (5):
fs/procfs: extract logic for getting VMA name constituents
fs/procfs: implement efficient VMA querying API for /proc/<pid>/maps
tools: sync uapi/linux/fs.h header into tools subdir
selftests/bpf: make use of PROCFS_PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl, if available
selftests/bpf: a simple benchmark tool for /proc/<pid>/maps APIs
