Adding __map_groups__insert function to add map into groups together

map_groups__insert, as maps__fixup_overlappings(), where it is being

tools build: Fix libiberty feature detection

Any CFLAGS or LDFLAGS set by the user need to be passed to the feature
build command.  This many include for example -I or -L to point to
libraries and include files in custom paths.

In most of the test-*.bin rules in build/feature/Makefile, we use the BUILD
macro which always sends in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  The libiberty build line
however doesn't use the BUILD macro and thus needs to send in CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS explicitly.  Without this, when using custom CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, libiberty
fails to be detected and the perf link fails with something like:

   LINK     perf
  libbfd.a(bfd.o): In function `bfd_errmsg':
  bfd.c:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to `xstrerror'
  bbfd.a(opncls.o): In function `_bfd_new_bfd':

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

Wang Nan [Wed, 14 Oct 2015 12:41:18 +0000 (12:41 +0000)]
perf bpf: Attach eBPF filter to perf event

This is the final patch which makes basic BPF filter work. After
applying this patch, users are allowed to use BPF filter like:

 # perf record --event ./hello_world.o ls

A bpf_fd field is appended to 'struct evsel', and setup during the
callback function add_bpf_event() for each 'probe_trace_event'.

PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF program to a newly
created perf event. The file descriptor of the eBPF program is passed to
perf record using previous patches, and stored into evsel->bpf_fd.

It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the ioctl,
EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.

Committer note:

The bpf proggie used so far:

  __attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used))
  int fork(void *ctx)
  {
  return 0;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;

failed to produce any samples, even with forks happening and it being
running in system wide mode.

That is because now the filter is being associated, and the code above
always returns zero, meaning that all forks will be probed but filtered
away ;-/

Change it to 'return 1;' instead and after that:

  # trace --no-syscalls --event /tmp/foo.o
     0.000 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     2.333 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     3.725 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
     4.550 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
  ^C#

And it works with all tools, including 'perf trace'.

perf bpf: Collect perf_evsel in BPF object files

This patch creates a 'struct perf_evsel' for every probe in a BPF object
file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:

 # perf record --event filter.o ls

Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.

The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().

Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

Committer notes:

Before:

  # /tmp/oldperf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1

I.e. we create just the PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1),
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY(config 0x9) event, now, with this patch:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1

  1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

We now have a PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1), but the config states 0x6bd,
which is how, after setting up the event via the kprobes interface, the
'perf_bpf_probe:fork' event is accessible via the perf_event_open
syscall. This is all transient, as soon as the 'perf record' session
ends, these probes will go away.

To see how it looks like, lets try doing a neverending session, one that
expects a control+C to end:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a

So, with that in place, we can use 'perf probe' to see what is in place:

  # perf probe -l

perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel

This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
objects into kernel.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
eBPF proggie:

  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;

For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
  libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---

  libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
  libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
kernel, the whole process goes thru:

  # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1

perf tools: Create probe points for BPF programs

This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.

By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.

To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.

strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch.
bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in
bpf-loader.c.

Committer note:

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this
patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an
eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file,
which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for
the object files.

After applying this patch, commands like:

 # perf record --event foo.o sleep

become possible.

However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the
evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program
attaching have not been implemented.  Before real events are possible to
be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list,
this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be
removed when probing and extracting code is ready.

perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf

libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.

The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.

MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.

The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.

Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.

tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in

  # perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]

  #

So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:

  # perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:

perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on a build ID

Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in

  /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn

where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is
documented here:

  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html

This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until
AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch
reads the build ID and THEN does the search.

for Intel x86 processors. When the processor support LBR filtering
this the selection is done in hardware. Otherwise, the filter is
applied by software. Note that we chose to include zero length calls
because they also represent calls.

perf: Add PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL

Add a new branch sample type to cover only call branches (function calls).
The current ANY_CALL included direct, indirect calls and far jumps.

We want to be able to differentiate indirect from direct calls. Therefore
we introduce PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_CALL. The implementation is up to each
architecture.

9 years agoperf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page

perf/x86: Fix time_shift in perf_event_mmap_page

Commit:

  b20112edeadf ("perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock")

allowed the time_shift value in perf_event_mmap_page to be as much
as 32.  Unfortunately the documented algorithms for using time_shift
have it shifting an integer, whereas to work correctly with the value
32, the type must be u64.

In the case of perf tools, Intel PT decodes correctly but the timestamps
that are output (for example by perf script) have lost 32-bits of
granularity so they look like they are not changing at all.

Fix by limiting the shift to 31 and adjusting the multiplier accordingly.

Also update the documentation of perf_event_mmap_page so that new code
based on it will be more future-proof.

perf bench: Remove the prefaulting complication from 'perf bench mem mem*'

So 'perf bench mem memcpy/memset' has elaborate code to measure
memcpy()/memset() performance both with freshly allocated buffers (which
includes initial page fault overhead) and with preallocated buffers.

But the thing is, the resulting bandwidth results are mostly
meaningless, because page faults dominate so much of the cost.

It might make sense to measure cache cold vs. cache hot performance, but
the code does not do this.

So remove this complication, and always prefault the ranges before using
them.

9 years agoperf bench: Default to all routines in 'perf bench mem'

perf bench: Default to all routines in 'perf bench mem'

So few people know that the --routine option to 'perf bench memcpy/memset'
exists, and would not know that it's capable of testing the kernel's
memcpy/memset implementations.

Furthermore, 'perf bench mem all' will not run all routines:

vega:~> perf bench mem all

sub-benchmarks and routines'.

perf symbols: Try the .debug/ DSO cache as a last resort

Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel,
this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will
check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the
DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance.

E.g. in the annotation TUI, going from 'perf top', for the scsi_sg_alloc
kernel function, in the first line:

Before:

scsi_sg_alloc  /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1

After:

scsi_sg_alloc  /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux

And:

  # ls -la /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1
