Pull Request Overview
This PR ports BCC tutorial examples to PythonBPF by adding support for string operations, including helper functions for working with kernel command names and string reading. The implementation adds infrastructure for char array handling, multi-target assignments, and utility functions for trace parsing.
Key changes:
- Added
commandprobe_read_strBPF helper functions with proper LLVM IR emission - Implemented char array to pointer conversion and string copying for struct fields
- Added utilities for parsing kernel trace output (
trace_pipe,trace_fields)
