bpftrace is a high-level tracing language for Linux enhanced Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) available in recent Linux kernels (4.x). bpftrace uses LLVM as a backend to compile scripts to BPF-bytecode and makes use of BCC for interacting with the Linux BPF system, as well as existing Linux tracing capabilities: kernel dynamic tracing (kprobes), user-level dynamic tracing (uprobes), and tracepoints. According to Linux Kernel Requirements in bpftrace/INSTALL.md [1], the kernel needs to be built with the following options: CONFIG_BPF=y CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT=y CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES=y CONFIG_KPROBES=y CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES=y CONFIG_UPROBES=y CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y So enable some missed configs in loongson3_defconfig to make sure the above configs are set after make loongson3_defconfig.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
