====================
XDP redirect tracepoints
I feel this is as far as I can take the tracepoint infrastructure to
assist XDP monitoring.
Tracepoints comes with a base overhead of 25 nanosec for an attached
bpf_prog, and 48 nanosec for using a full perf record. This is
problematic for the XDP use-case, but it is very convenient to use the
existing perf infrastructure.
From a performance perspective, the real solution would be to attach
another bpf_prog (that understand xdp_buff), but I'm not sure we want
to introduce yet another bpf attach API for this.
One thing left is to standardize the possible err return codes, to a
limited set, to allow easier (and faster) mapping into a bpf map.
