bpf: Add libbpf logic for user-space ring buffer
Now that all of the logic is in place in the kernel to support user-space
produced ring buffers, we can add the user-space logic to libbpf. This
patch therefore adds the following public symbols to libbpf:
struct user_ring_buffer *
user_ring_buffer__new(int map_fd,
const struct user_ring_buffer_opts *opts);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, __u32 size);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
__u32 size, int timeout_ms);
void user_ring_buffer__submit(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, void *sample);
void user_ring_buffer__discard(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
void user_ring_buffer__free(struct user_ring_buffer *rb);
A user-space producer must first create a struct user_ring_buffer * object
with user_ring_buffer__new(), and can then reserve samples in the
ring buffer using one of the following two symbols:
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve(struct user_ring_buffer *rb, __u32 size);
void *user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking(struct user_ring_buffer *rb,
__u32 size, int timeout_ms);
With user_ring_buffer__reserve(), a pointer to a 'size' region of the ring
buffer will be returned if sufficient space is available in the buffer.
user_ring_buffer__reserve_blocking() provides similar semantics, but will
block for up to 'timeout_ms' in epoll_wait if there is insufficient space
in the buffer. This function has the guarantee from the kernel that it will
receive at least one event-notification per invocation to
bpf_ringbuf_drain(), provided that at least one sample is drained, and the
BPF program did not pass the BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP flag to bpf_ringbuf_drain().
Once a sample is reserved, it must either be committed to the ring buffer
with user_ring_buffer__submit(), or discarded with
user_ring_buffer__discard().
