[ Upstream commit 7d07006f05922b95518be403f08ef8437b67aa32 ]
The current behavior of 'tracex7' doesn't consist with other bpf samples
tracex{1..6}. Other samples do not require any argument to run with, but
tracex7 should be run with btrfs device argument. (it should be executed
with test_override_return.sh)
Currently, tracex7 doesn't have any description about how to run this
program and raises an unexpected error. And this result might be
confusing since users might not have a hunch about how to run this
program.
// Current behavior
# ./tracex7
sh: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
// Fixed behavior
# ./tracex7
ERROR: Run with the btrfs device argument!
In order to fix this error, this commit adds logic to report a message
and exit when running this program with a missing argument.
Additionally in test_override_return.sh, there is a problem with
multiple directory(tmpmnt) creation. So in this commit adds a line with
removing the directory with every execution.

eBPF sample programs
====================
This directory contains a test stubs, verifier test-suite and examples
for using eBPF. The examples use libbpf from tools/lib/bpf.
Build dependencies
==================
Compiling requires having installed:
* clang >= version 3.4.0
* llvm >= version 3.7.1
Note that LLVM's tool 'llc' must support target 'bpf', list version
and supported targets with command: ``llc --version``
Kernel headers
--------------
There are usually dependencies to header files of the current kernel.
To avoid installing devel kernel headers system wide, as a normal
user, simply call::
make headers_install
This will creates a local "usr/include" directory in the git/build top
level directory, that the make system automatically pickup first.
Compiling
=========
For building the BPF samples, issue the below command from the kernel
top level directory::
make samples/bpf/
Do notice the "/" slash after the directory name.
It is also possible to call make from this directory. This will just
hide the the invocation of make as above with the appended "/".
Manually compiling LLVM with 'bpf' support
------------------------------------------
Since version 3.7.0, LLVM adds a proper LLVM backend target for the
BPF bytecode architecture.
By default llvm will build all non-experimental backends including bpf.
To generate a smaller llc binary one can use::
-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF"
Quick sniplet for manually compiling LLVM and clang
(build dependencies are cmake and gcc-c++)::
$ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
$ cd llvm/tools
$ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
$ cd ..; mkdir build; cd build
$ cmake .. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD="BPF;X86"
$ make -j $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
It is also possible to point make to the newly compiled 'llc' or
'clang' command via redefining LLC or CLANG on the make command line::
make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc CLANG=~/git/llvm/build/bin/clang
Cross compiling samples
-----------------------
In order to cross-compile, say for arm64 targets, export CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH
environment variables before calling make. This will direct make to build
samples for the cross target.
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE="aarch64-linux-gnu-"
make samples/bpf/ LLC=~/git/llvm/build/bin/llc CLANG=~/git/llvm/build/bin/clang
