[PATCH bpf-next 0/6] bpftool: Allow to select sections and filter probes

From: Michal Rostecki <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-18 19:02:35
Also in: bpf, linux-kselftest, lkml

This patch series extend the "bpftool feature" subcommand with the
new positional arguments:

- "section", which allows to select a specific section of probes (i.e.
  "system_config", "program_types", "map_types");
- "filter_in", which allows to select only probes which matches the
  given regex pattern;
- "filter_out", which allows to filter out probes which do not match the
  given regex pattern.

The main motivation behind those changes is ability the fact that some
probes (for example those related to "trace" or "write_user" helpers)
emit dmesg messages which might be confusing for people who are running
on production environments. For details see the Cilium issue[0].
