Add a lightweight tracepoint to monitor TCP congestion window
adjustments via tcp_cwnd_reduction(). This tracepoint enables tracking
of:
- TCP window size fluctuations
- Active socket behavior
- Congestion window reduction events
Meta has been using BPF programs to monitor this function for years.
Adding a proper tracepoint provides a stable API for all users who need
to monitor TCP congestion window behavior.
Use DECLARE_TRACE instead of TRACE_EVENT to avoid creating trace event
infrastructure and exporting to tracefs, keeping the implementation
minimal. (Thanks Steven Rostedt)
Given that this patch creates a rawtracepoint, you could hook into it
using regular tooling, like bpftrace, using regular rawtracepoint
infrastructure, such as:
rawtracepoint:tcp_cwnd_reduction_tp {
....
}

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 reStructuredText 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.
