By default, libbpf will attach the kprobe/uprobe BPF program in the latest mode that supported by kernel. In this patch, we add the support to let users manually attach kprobe/uprobe in legacy or perf mode. There are 3 mode that supported by the kernel to attach kprobe/uprobe: LEGACY: create perf event in legacy way and don't use bpf_link PERF: create perf event with perf_event_open() and don't use bpf_link Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong <imagedong@tencent.com> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Biao Jiang <benbjiang@tencent.com> Link: create perf event with perf_event_open() and use bpf_link Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230113093427.1666466-1-imagedong@tencent.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230306064833.7932-2-imagedong@tencent.com Users now can manually choose the mode with bpf_program__attach_uprobe_opts()/bpf_program__attach_kprobe_opts().
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.
