      libbpf: Add perf_buffer APIs for better integration with outside epoll loop · dca5612f
      Andrii Nakryiko 提交于
      Add a set of APIs to perf_buffer manage to allow applications to integrate
      perf buffer polling into existing epoll-based infrastructure. One example is
      applications using libevent already and wanting to plug perf_buffer polling,
      instead of relying on perf_buffer__poll() and waste an extra thread to do it.
      But perf_buffer is still extremely useful to set up and consume perf buffer
      rings even for such use cases.
      
      So to accomodate such new use cases, add three new APIs:
        - perf_buffer__buffer_cnt() returns number of per-CPU buffers maintained by
          given instance of perf_buffer manager;
        - perf_buffer__buffer_fd() returns FD of perf_event corresponding to
          a specified per-CPU buffer; this FD is then polled independently;
        - perf_buffer__consume_buffer() consumes data from single per-CPU buffer,
          identified by its slot index.
      
      To support a simpler, but less efficient, way to integrate perf_buffer into
      external polling logic, also expose underlying epoll FD through
      perf_buffer__epoll_fd() API. It will need to be followed by
      perf_buffer__poll(), wasting extra syscall, or perf_buffer__consume(), wasting
      CPU to iterate buffers with no data. But could be simpler and more convenient
      for some cases.
      
      These APIs allow for great flexiblity, but do not sacrifice general usability
      of perf_buffer.
      
      Also exercise and check new APIs in perf_buffer selftest.
