Jordan reported an issue in Meta production environment where func
try_to_wake_up() is renamed to try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() by clang
compiler at lto mode. The original 'kprobe/try_to_wake_up' does not
work any more since try_to_wake_up() does not match the actual func
name in /proc/kallsyms.
There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue. For example, in
attach_kprobe(), we could do lookup in /proc/kallsyms so try_to_wake_up()
can be replaced by try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). Or we can force users
to use bpf_program__attach_kprobe() where they need to lookup
/proc/kallsyms to find out try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hach>(). But these two
approaches requires extra work by either libbpf or user.
Luckily, suggested by Andrii, multi kprobe already supports wildcard ('*')
for symbol matching. In the above example, 'try_to_wake_up*' can match
to try_to_wake_up() or try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>() and this allows
bpf prog works for different kernels as some kernels may have
try_to_wake_up() and some others may have try_to_wake_up.llvm.<hash>().
The original intention is to kprobe try_to_wake_up() only, so an optional
field unique_match is added to struct bpf_kprobe_multi_opts. If the
field is set to true, the number of matched functions must be one.
Otherwise, the attachment will fail. In the above case, multi kprobe
with 'try_to_wake_up*' and unique_match preserves user functionality.
