Description
hello everyone,
I am trying to retrieve some information from hardware registers such as the number of cpu cycles (cache misses and others) of a portion of XDP code.
The goal I would like to achieve is similar to this:
```
/* of the code */
START TRACING
/* code to be traced */
STOP TRACING.
/*other code*/
```
But my problem is how to retrieve the data I need.
I have seen various examples and tests using BPF_PERF_ARRAY, but what I understand is that it cannot be used in XDP, right?
I saw from the ebpf documentation some useful helpers for my purpose but I wouldn't know how to use them in BCC considering that they take a map as parameter.
Any advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks
