perf bpf: Generate prologue for BPF programs

Browse source

This patch generates a prologue for each 'struct probe_trace_event' for
fetching arguments for BPF programs.

After bpf__probe(), iterate over each program to check whether prologues are
required. If none of the 'struct perf_probe_event' programs will attach to have
at least one argument, simply skip preprocessor hooking. For those who a
prologue is required, call bpf__gen_prologue() and paste the original
instruction after the prologue.
