[PATCHv3 bpf-next 6/7] libbpf: allow specification of "kprobe/function+offset"

From: Jiri Olsa <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-07 21:49:04
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [library] (libbpf), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

From: Alan Maguire <redacted>

kprobes can be placed on most instructions in a function, not
just entry, and ftrace and bpftrace support the function+offset
notification for probe placement.  Adding parsing of func_name
into func+offset to bpf_program__attach_kprobe() allows the
user to specify

SEC("kprobe/bpf_fentry_test5+0x6")

...for example, and the offset can be passed to perf_event_open_probe()
to support kprobe attachment.
