Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/7] XDP redirect tracepoints

I feel this is as far as I can take the tracepoint infrastructure to
assist XDP monitoring.

Tracepoints comes with a base overhead of 25 nanosec for an attached
bpf_prog, and 48 nanosec for using a full perf record. This is
problematic for the XDP use-case, but it is very convenient to use the
existing perf infrastructure.

>>From a performance perspective, the real solution would be to attach
another bpf_prog (that understand xdp_buff), but I'm not sure we want
to introduce yet another bpf attach API for this.

One thing left is to standardize the possible err return codes, to a
limited set, to allow easier (and faster) mapping into a bpf map.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer (7):
      xdp: remove redundant argument to trace_xdp_redirect
      xdp: tracepoint xdp_redirect also need a map argument
      xdp: make xdp tracepoints report bpf prog id instead of prog_tag
      xdp: separate xdp_redirect tracepoint in error case
      xdp: separate xdp_redirect tracepoint in map case
      samples/bpf: xdp_redirect load XDP dummy prog on TX device
      samples/bpf: xdp_monitor tool based on tracepoints
