Subject: [PATCH v4 bpf-next 00/10] bpf, tracing: introduce bpf raw tracepoints

v3->v4:
- adopted Linus's CAST_TO_U64 macro to cast any integer, pointer, or small
  struct to u64. That nicely reduced the size of patch 1

v2->v3:
- with Linus's suggestion introduced generic COUNT_ARGS and CONCATENATE macros
  (or rather moved them from apparmor)
  that cleaned up patches 6 and 7
- added patch 4 to refactor trace_iwlwifi_dev_ucode_error() from 17 args to 4
  Now any tracepoint with >12 args will have build error

v1->v2:
- simplified api by combing bpf_raw_tp_open(name) + bpf_attach(prog_fd) into
  bpf_raw_tp_open(name, prog_fd) as suggested by Daniel.
  That simplifies bpf_detach as well which is now simple close() of fd.
- fixed memory leak in error path which was spotted by Daniel.
- fixed bpf_get_stackid(), bpf_perf_event_output() called from raw tracepoints
- added more tests
- fixed allyesconfig build caught by buildbot

v1:
This patch set is a different way to address the pressing need to access
task_struct pointers in sched tracepoints from bpf programs.

The first approach simply added these pointers to sched tracepoints:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/14/753
which Peter nacked.
Few options were discussed and eventually the discussion converged on
doing bpf specific tracepoint_probe_register() probe functions.
Details here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/20/929

Patch 1 is kernel wide cleanup of pass-struct-by-value into
pass-struct-by-reference into tracepoints.

Patches 2 and 3 are minor cleanups to address allyesconfig build

Patch 4 refactor trace_iwlwifi_dev_ucode_error from 17 to 4 args

Patch 5 introduces COUNT_ARGS macro

Patch 6 minor prep work to expose number of arguments passed
into tracepoints.

Patch 7 introduces BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT api.
the auto-cleanup and multiple concurrent users are must have
features of tracing api. For bpf raw tracepoints it looks like:
  // load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
  prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);

  // receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint
  // and attach bpf program to it
  raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);

Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool will automatically
detach bpf program, unload it and unregister tracepoint probe.
More details in patch 7.

Patch 8 - trivial support in libbpf
Patches 9, 10 - user space tests
