[RFC bpf-next 07/12] bpf: Add support to create tracing multi link

flat view

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-02-03 09:39:40
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [core], bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [security & lsm] (security audit and enforcement using bpf), bpf [tracing], the rest, tracing · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, KP Singh, Matt Bobrowski, Song Liu, Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu

Adding new link to allow to attach program to multiple function
BTF IDs. The link is represented by struct bpf_tracing_multi_link.

To configure the link, new fields are added to bpf_attr::link_create
to pass array of BTF IDs;

  struct {
      __aligned_u64   btf_ids;        /* addresses to attach */
      __u32           btf_ids_cnt;    /* addresses count */
  } tracing_multi;

Each BTF ID represents function (BTF_KIND_FUNC) that the link will
attach bpf program to.

We use previously added bpf_trampoline_multi_attach/detach functions
to attach/detach the link.
