By introducing support for ->fill_link_info to the perf_event link, users
gain the ability to inspect it using `bpftool link show`. While the current
approach involves accessing this information via `bpftool perf show`,
consolidating link information for all link types in one place offers
greater convenience. Additionally, this patch extends support to the
generic perf event, which is not currently accommodated by
`bpftool perf show`. While only the perf type and config are exposed to
userspace, other attributes such as sample_period and sample_freq are
ignored. It's important to note that if kptr_restrict is not permitted, the
probed address will not be exposed, maintaining security measures.
A new enum bpf_perf_event_type is introduced to help the user understand
which struct is relevant.

With the addition of support for fill_link_info to the kprobe_multi link,
users will gain the ability to inspect it conveniently using the
`bpftool link show`. This enhancement provides valuable information to the
user, including the count of probed functions and their respective
addresses. It's important to note that if the kptr_restrict setting is not
permitted, the probed address will not be exposed, ensuring security.

When I checked the code in skeleton header file generated with my own
bpf prog, I found there may be possible NULL pointer dereference when
destroying skeleton. Then I checked the in-tree bpf progs, finding that is
a common issue. Let's take the generated samples/bpf/xdp_redirect_cpu.skel.h
for example. Below is the generated code in
xdp_redirect_cpu__create_skeleton():
xdp_redirect_cpu__create_skeleton
struct bpf_object_skeleton *s;
s = (struct bpf_object_skeleton *)calloc(1, sizeof(*s));
if (!s)
goto error;
...
error:
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton(s);
return -ENOMEM;
After goto error, the NULL 's' will be deferenced in
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton().
We can simply fix this issue by just adding a NULL check in
bpf_object__destroy_skeleton().
