[PATCHv3 bpf-next 0/9] mm/bpf/perf: Store build id in file object

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Thu Mar 16 2023 - 13:02:11 EST


hi,
this patchset adds build id object pointer to struct file object.

We have several use cases for build id to be used in BPF programs
[2][3].

Having build id pointer stored directly in file object allows to get
build id reliably regardless of the execution context as described
in [3].

Previous iteration [1] stored build id pointer into inode, but it
became clear that struct file object is better place, because we read
the build id when the file is mmap-ed and as Dave Chinner said [4]:

> Yes, the problem being that we can cache hundreds of millions of
> inodes in memory, and only a very small subset of them are going to
> have open files associated with them. And an even smaller subset are
> going to be mmapped.

thanks,
jirka


v3 changes:
- moved build id back to file object (discussed in [4])
- drop patch 4, it's not needed [Andrii]
- added ack to patch 7 [Andrii]
- replaced BUILD_ID_SIZE_MAX macro with enum [Andrii]
- few re-formatting fixes [Andrii]

v2 changes:
- store build id under inode [Matthew Wilcox]
- use urandom_read and liburandom_read.so for test [Andrii]
- add libelf-based helper to fetch build ID from elf [Andrii]
- store build id or error we got when reading it [Andrii]
- use full name i_build_id [Andrii]
- several tests fixes [Andrii]
