[RFC PATCH v8 39/49] bpf tools: Load a program with different instance using preprocessor

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed Jun 24 2015 - 08:38:04 EST


In this patch, caller of libbpf is able to control the loaded programs
by installing a preprocessor callback for a BPF program. With
preprocessor, different instances can be created from one BPF program.

This patch will be used by perf to generate different prologue for
different 'struct probe_trace_event' instances matched by one
'struct perf_probe_event'.

bpf_program__set_prep() is added to support this function. Caller
should pass libbpf the number of instance should be created and a
preprocessor function which will be called when doing real loading.
The callback should return instructions arrays for each instances.

nr_instance and instance_fds are appended into bpf_programs to support
multiple instances. bpf_program__get_nth_fd() is introduced for
read fd of instances. Old interface bpf_program__get_fd() won't work
for program which has preprocessor hooked.
