    Subject[PATCHv3 bpf-next 0/7] uprobe: uretprobe speed up
    Date
    hi,
    as part of the effort on speeding up the uprobes [0] coming with
    return uprobe optimization by using syscall instead of the trap
    on the uretprobe trampoline.

    The speed up depends on instruction type that uprobe is installed
    and depends on specific HW type, please check patch 1 for details.

    Patches 1-6 are based on bpf-next/master, but path 1 and 2 are
    apply-able on linux-trace.git tree probes/for-next branch.
    Patch 7 is based on man-pages master.

    v3 changes:
    - added source ip check if the uretprobe syscall is called from
    trampoline and sending SIGILL to process if it's not
    - keep x86 compat process to use standard breakpoint
    - split syscall wiring into separate change
    - ran ltp and syzkaller locally, no issues found [Masami]
    - building uprobe_compat binary in selftests which breaks
    CI atm because of missing 32-bit delve packages, I will
    need to fix that in separate changes once this is acked
    - added man page change
    - there were several changes so I removed acks [Oleg Andrii]

    Notes to check list items in Documentation/process/adding-syscalls.rst:

    - System Call Alternatives
    New syscall seems like the best way in here, becase we need
    just to quickly enter kernel with no extra arguments processing,
    which we'd need to do if we decided to use another syscall.

    - Designing the API: Planning for Extension
    The uretprobe syscall is very specific and most likely won't be
    extended in the future.

    At the moment it does not take any arguments and even if it does
    in future, it's allowed to be called only from trampoline prepared
    by kernel, so there'll be no broken user.

    - Designing the API: Other Considerations
    N/A because uretprobe syscall does not return reference to kernel
    object.

    - Proposing the API
    Wiring up of the uretprobe system call si in separate change,
    selftests and man page changes are part of the patchset.

    - Generic System Call Implementation
    There's no CONFIG option for the new functionality because it
    keeps the same behaviour from the user POV.

    - x86 System Call Implementation
    It's 64-bit syscall only.

    - Compatibility System Calls (Generic)
    N/A uretprobe syscall has no arguments and is not supported
    for compat processes.

    - Compatibility System Calls (x86)
    N/A uretprobe syscall is not supported for compat processes.

    - System Calls Returning Elsewhere
    N/A.

    - Other Details
    N/A.

    - Testing
    Adding new bpf selftests and ran ltp on top of this change.

    - Man Page
    Attached.

    - Do not call System Calls in the Kernel
    N/A.
