Hello list,

I'm attempting to use bpf_perf_event_output to do packet sampling from XDP.

The code basically runs before our other XDP code, does a
perf_event_output with the full packet (for now) and then tail calls
into DDoS mitigation, etc.

I've just discovered that perf_event_output isn't allowed to access
packet data by the verifier. Is this something that could be allowed?

Best
Lorenz
