runtime: add uprobe_multi support #252

Closed Officeyutong closed 6 months ago

Officeyutong commented 6 months ago

uprobe_multi is a special type of uprobe, which allows hooking multiple userspace functions in a single attach. This PR adds uprobe_multi support for uprobe_attach_impl, the corresponding example, and update CI

Closes #214

See https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20230424160447.2005755-1-jolsa@kernel.org/ for details

Our design

In the kernel bpf, the attaching of uprobe_multi were implemented through creating a bpf link, and filling all information (such as pid, function offset, attach cookies) in the link opts. You may find it in bpf_program__attach_uprobe_multi

But in bpftime, all attaches are required to have an attach target (a.k.a perf event), so for uprobe_multi that doesn't give us a perf event, we have a slightly different implementation to the kernel: When creating a bpf link, we doesn't only record configurations from bpf_link_create_opts into the handler, but also do we create some perf events for the uprobe_multi links, and record them in the handler. In this way, we tear down a uprobe_multi into several simple uprobe attach targets, and with a total bpf link. This will not affect the hooking performance.

And can we reopen this?
