Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo d8fc764d0b perf bpf: Add probe() helper to reduce kprobes boilerplate
So that kprobe definitions become:

  int probe(function, variables)(void *ctx, int err, var1, var2, ...)

The existing 5sec.c, got converted and goes from:

  SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec")
  int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
  {
  }

To:

  int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
  {
  }

If we decide to add tv_nsec as well, then it becomes:

  $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
  #include <bpf.h>

  int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec rqtp->tv_nsec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec, long nsec)
  {
	  return sec == 5;
  }

  license(GPL);
  $

And if we run it, system wide as before and run some 'sleep' with values
for the tv_nsec field, we get:

  # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
     0.000 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=100000000
  9641.650 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=123450001

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 7542b767b0 perf bpf: Add kprobe example to catch 5s naps
Description:

. Disable strace like syscall tracing (--no-syscalls), or try tracing
  just some (-e *sleep).

. Attach a filter function to a kernel function, returning when it should
  be considered, i.e. appear on the output:

  $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
  #include <bpf.h>

  SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec")
  int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
  {
	  return sec == 5;
  }

  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  $

. Run it system wide, so that any sleep of >= 5 seconds and < than 6
  seconds gets caught.

. Ask for callgraphs using DWARF info, so that userspace can be unwound

. While this is running, run something like "sleep 5s".

  # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c/call-graph=dwarf/
