Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0f7c2de5dd perf bpf: Reduce the hardcoded .max_entries for pid_maps
While working on augmented syscalls I got into this error:

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -e, --event <event>   event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

If I then try to use strace (perf trace'ing 'perf trace' needs some more work
before its possible) to get a bit more info I get:

  #

I managed to create the maps, etc, but then installing the "sys_exit" hook into
the "raw_syscalls:sys_exit" tracepoint somehow gets -EPERMed...

I then go and try reducing the size of this new table:

  +++ b/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
  @@ -47,6 +47,17 @@ struct augmented_filename {
   #define SYS_OPEN 2
   #define SYS_OPENAT 257

  +struct syscall {
  +       bool    filtered;
  +};
  +
  +struct bpf_map SEC("maps") syscalls = {
  +       .type        = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
  +       .key_size    = sizeof(int),
  +       .value_size  = sizeof(struct syscall),
  +       .max_entries = 500,
  +};

And after reducing that .max_entries a tad, it works. So yeah, the "unknown
reason" should be related to the number of bytes all this is taking, reduce the
default for pid_map()s so that we can have a "syscalls" map with enough slots
for all syscalls in most arches. And take notes about this error message,
improve it :-)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
