====================
hi,
at the moment we can't retrieve the number of missed kprobe
executions and subsequent execution of BPF programs.
This patchset adds:
- counting of missed execution on attach layer for:
. kprobes attached through perf link (kprobe/ftrace)
. kprobes attached through kprobe.multi link (fprobe)
- counting of recursion_misses for BPF kprobe programs
It's still technically possible to create kprobe without perf link (using
SET_BPF perf ioctl) in which case we don't have a way to retrieve the kprobe's
'missed' count. However both libbpf and cilium/ebpf libraries use perf link
if it's available, and for old kernels without perf link support we can use
BPF program to retrieve the kprobe missed count.
v3 changes:
- added acks [Song]
- make test_missed not serial [Andrii]

============
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.
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.
