bpf: cpumap add tracepoints
This adds two tracepoint to the cpumap. One for the enqueue side trace_xdp_cpumap_enqueue() and one for the kthread dequeue side trace_xdp_cpumap_kthread(). To mitigate the tracepoint overhead, these are invoked during the enqueue/dequeue bulking phases, thus amortizing the cost. The obvious use-cases are for debugging and monitoring. The non-intuitive use-case is using these as a feedback loop to know the system load. One can imagine auto-scaling by reducing, adding or activating more worker CPUs on demand. V4: tracepoint remove time_limit info, instead add sched info V8: intro struct bpf_cpu_map_entry members cpu+map_id in this patch Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
