samples/bpf: xdp_monitor first 8 bytes are not accessible by bpf

netoptimizer · davem330 · commit f4ce0a0116bc · 2017-10-06T10:04:35.000-07:00
The first 8 bytes of the tracepoint context struct are not accessible by the bpf code. This is a choice that dates back to the original inclusion of this code. See explaination in: commit 98b5c2c ("perf, bpf: allow bpf programs attach to tracepoints") Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
