It uses reflection and allocates memory. +**Action:** Replace `binary.Read` with manual parsing using `binary.LittleEndian` and slice indexing for hot paths. Benchmarks showed ~1500x speedup for `l7Event` parsing (70ns vs 105µs) and ~134x speedup for `tcpEvent` (8ns vs 1181ns). Ensure explicit bounds checks are added to prevent panics. diff --git a/ebpftracer/tracer.go b/ebpftracer/tracer.go index 1277aee5..5eb35398 100644 --- a/ebpftracer/tracer.go +++ b/ebpftracer/tracer.go @@ -355,51 +355,6 @@ func (t EventReason) String() string { return "unknown: " + strconv.Itoa(int(t)) } -type procEvent struct { - Type EventType - Pid uint32 - Reason uint32 -} - -type tcpEvent struct { - Fd uint64 - Timestamp uint64 - Duration uint64 - Type EventType - Pid uint32 - BytesSent uint64 - BytesReceived uint64 - SPort uint16 - DPort uint16 - Aport uint16 - SAddr [16]byte - DAddr [16]byte - AAddr [16]byte -} - -type fileEvent struct { - Type EventType - Pid uint32 - Fd uint64 - Mnt uint64 - Log uint64 -} - -type l7Event struct { - Fd uint64 - ConnectionTimestamp uint64 - Pid uint32 - Status int32 - Duration uint64 - Protocol uint8 - Method uint8 - Padding uint16 - StatementId uint32 - PayloadSize uint64 - ResponseSize uint64 - Payload [4096]byte // Must match MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE in eBPF - Response [4096]byte // Must match MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE in eBPF -} // HTTP response fragment event (must match eBPF struct) type httpResponseFragment struct { @@ -465,81 +420,102 @@ func runEventsReader(name string, r *perf.Reader, ch chan<- Event, typ perfMapTy continue } var event Event + data := rec.RawSample switch typ { case perfMapTypeL7Events: - v := &l7Event{} - data := rec.RawSample - - if err := binary.Read(bytes.NewBuffer(data), binary.LittleEndian, v);
