Yonghong Song says: ==================== bpf has been used extensively for tracing. For example, bcc contains an almost full set of bpf-based tools to trace kernel and user functions/events. Most tracing tools are currently either filtered based on pid or system-wide. Containers have been used quite extensively in industry and cgroup is often used together to provide resource isolation and protection. Several processes may run inside the same container. It is often desirable to get container-level tracing results as well, e.g. syscall count, function count, I/O activity, etc. This patch implements a new helper, bpf_get_current_cgroup_id(), which will return cgroup id based on the cgroup within which the current task is running. Patch #1 implements the new helper in the kernel. Patch #2 syncs the uapi bpf.h header and helper between tools and kernel. Patch #3 shows how to get the same cgroup id in user space, so a filter or policy could be configgured in the bpf program based on current task cgroup. Changelog: v1 -> v2: . rebase to resolve merge conflict with latest bpf-next. ==================== Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
