From 583c1f420173f7d84413a1a1fbf5109d798b4faa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Vernet Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2022 19:00:57 -0500 Subject: bpf: Define new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type We want to support a ringbuf map type where samples are published from user-space, to be consumed by BPF programs. BPF currently supports a kernel -> user-space circular ring buffer via the BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF map type. We'll need to define a new map type for user-space -> kernel, as none of the helpers exported for BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF will apply to a user-space producer ring buffer, and we'll want to add one or more helper functions that would not apply for a kernel-producer ring buffer. This patch therefore adds a new BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF map type definition. The map type is useless in its current form, as there is no way to access or use it for anything until we one or more BPF helpers. A follow-on patch will therefore add a new helper function that allows BPF programs to run callbacks on samples that are published to the ring buffer.
