[PATCHv2 bpf-next 22/23] selftests/bpf: Add tracing multi attach benchmark test

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-03-04 22:25:38
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [selftests] (test runners & infrastructure), kernel selftest framework, the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Shuah Khan, Shuah Khan, Linus Torvalds

Adding benchmark test that attaches to (almost) all allowed tracing
functions and display attach/detach times.
