libbpf-tools: add CO-RE 'pidpersec'

Open myhro opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

This is a CO-RE port of the Brendan Gregg's pidpersec BCC Python tool.

It's my second attempt in porting a BCC tool to CO-RE. I'm starting from the smaller ones, but the intention is to eventually get to the larger ones.

Thanks for contribution. But bcc tools are used for production debugging and observations. You need to provide real use cases for the tool to be merged.

Thanks for the feedback, @yonghong-song. This PR is not a completely new addition, but a C/libbpf port of the existing pidpersec.py tool, which is documented in the companion example.

My understanding is that if a tool is already part of the repository, it's considered useful for production debugging/observations. Maybe this case is different, considering it was added ~9 years ago, and it was just a showcase of BPF functionality back then?
