perf bpf: Automatically add BTF ELF markers

The libbpf loader expects that some __btf_map_<MAP_NAME> structs be in
place with the keys and values types of maps so that one can store the
struct definitions and have them sent to the kernel via sys_bpf(fd, cmd
= BTF_LOAD) and then later be retrievable via sys_bpf(fd, cmd =
BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD) for use by tools such as 'bpftool map dump id
MAP_ID'.

Since we already have this for defining maps in 'perf trace' BPF events:

   bpf_map(name, _type, type_key, type_val, _max_entries)

As used in the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c:

 --- 8< ---

struct syscall {
        bool    enabled;
};

bpf_map(syscalls, ARRAY, int, struct syscall, 512);

 --- 8< ---

All we need is to get all that already available info, piggyback on the
'bpf_map' define in tools/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h, that is included by
'perf trace' BPF programs and do that without requiring changes to the
BPF programs already defining maps using 'bpf_map()'.

So this is what we have before this patch:

1) With this in ~/.perfconfig to dump .c events as .o, aka save a copy
   so that we can use the .o later as a pre-compiled BPF bytecode:

  # grep '\[llvm\]' -A2 ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
	dump-obj = true
	clang-opt = -g

  #
  # clang --version
  clang version 9.0.0 (https://git.llvm.org/git/clang.git/ 7906282d3afec5dfdc2b27943fd6c0309086c507) (https://git.llvm.org/git/llvm.git/ a1b5de1ff8ae8bc79dc8e86e1f82565229bd0500)
  Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  Thread model: posix
  InstalledDir: /opt/llvm/bin

2) Note the -g there so that we get clang to generate debuginfo, and
   since the target is 'bpf' it will generate the BTF info in this
   clang version (9.0).

3) Run a simple 'perf record' specifiying as an event the augmented_raw_syscalls.c
   source code:

  # perf record -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c sleep 1
  LLVM: dumping /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.025 MB perf.data ]

  # file /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF, version 1 (SYSV), with debug_info, not stripped

4) Look at the BTF structs encoded in it:

  # pahole -F btf --sizes /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  syscall_enter_args	64	0
  augmented_filename	264	0
  syscall	1	0
  syscall_exit_args	24	0
  bpf_map	28	0
  #
  # pahole -F btf -C syscalls /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  # pahole -F btf -C syscall /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  struct syscall {
	  bool                       enabled;              /*     0     1 */

	  /* size: 1, cachelines: 1, members: 1 */
	  /* last cacheline: 1 bytes */
  };
  #

5) Ok, with just this we don't have the markers expected by the libbpf
   loader and when we run with this BPF bytecode, because we have:

  # grep '\[trace\]' -A1 ~/.perfconfig
  [trace]
	add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  #

6) Lets do a 'perf trace' system wide session using this BPF program:

   # perf trace -e *mmsg,open*
  Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/acme/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/cache2/entries/BA220AB2914006A7AE96D27BE6EA13DD77519FCA", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR) = 106
  Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
  Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
  Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
  Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/mountinfo", O_RDONLY) = 121
  DNS Res~ver #3/23340 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 106
  DNS Res~ver #3/23340 sendmmsg(106<socket:[3482690]>, 0x7f252f1fcaf0, 2, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 2
  Cache2 I/O/6885 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/acme/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/cache2/entries/BA220AB2914006A7AE96D27BE6EA13DD77519FCA", O_RDWR) = 106
  lighttpd/18915 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/loadavg", O_RDONLY) = 12

7) While it runs lets see the maps that 'perf trace' + libbpf's BPF
  loader loaded into the kernel via sys_bpf(fd, BPF_BTF_LOAD, ...):

  # bpftool map list | tail -6
  149: perf_event_array  name __augmented_sys  flags 0x0
	  key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 8  memlock 4096B
  150: array  name syscalls  flags 0x0
	  key 4B  value 1B  max_entries 512  memlock 8192B
  151: hash  name pids_filtered  flags 0x0
	  key 4B  value 1B  max_entries 64  memlock 8192B
  #

8) Dump the "pids_filtered", map, that will have one entry per PID that
   'perf trace' wants filtered, which includes its own, to avoid a
   tracing feedback loop (perf trace shows the syscalls it does which
   generates more syscalls that it has to show that...), it also
   auto-filters the 'gnome-terminal' and 'sshd' parent PIDs, for the
   same reason:

  # bpftool map dump id 151
  key: a5 0c 00 00  value: 01
  key: 14 63 00 00  value: 01
  Found 2 elements
  #

9) Since there is no BTF info available, it does a generic hex dump :-\

10) Now, with this patch applied, we'll do steps 3 to 6 again and look
    with pahole if there are extra structs encoded in BTF:

  # pahole -F btf --sizes /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  syscall_enter_args	64	0
  augmented_filename	264	0
  syscall	1	0
  syscall_exit_args	24	0
  bpf_map	28	0
  ____btf_map___augmented_syscalls__	8	0
  ____btf_map_syscalls	8	0
  ____btf_map_pids_filtered	8	0
  #

11) Yes, those __btf_map_ + the map names, lets see how they look like:

  # pahole -F btf -C ____btf_map_syscalls /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  struct ____btf_map_syscalls {
	  int                        key;                  /*     0     4 */
	  struct syscall             value;                /*     4     1 */

	  /* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
	  /* padding: 3 */
	  /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
  };
  #

12) Lets repeat step 7 to get the new map ids:

  # bpftool map list | tail -6
  155: perf_event_array  name __augmented_sys  flags 0x0
	  key 4B  value 4B  max_entries 8  memlock 4096B
  156: array  name syscalls  flags 0x0
	  key 4B  value 1B  max_entries 512  memlock 8192B
  157: hash  name pids_filtered  flags 0x0
	  key 4B  value 1B  max_entries 64  memlock 8192B
  #

13) And finally lets dump the 'pids_filtered':

  # bpftool map dump id 157
  [{
        "key": 3237,
        "value": true
    },{
        "key": 26435,
        "value": true
    }
  ]
  #

Looks much better! BTF info was used to interpret the key as an integer
and the value as a struct with just one boolean member, so to make it
more compact, show just the 'true' value where we saw '01'.

Now to make 'perf trace --dump-map' to use BTF!
