To allow BPF filters for unprivileged users it needs to pin the BPF objects to BPF-fs first. Let's add a new option to pin and unpin the objects easily. I'm not sure 'perf record' is a right place to do this but I don't have a better idea right now. $ sudo perf record --setup-filter pin The above command would pin BPF program and maps for the filter when the system has BPF-fs (usually at /sys/fs/bpf/). To unpin the objects, users can run the following command (as root). $ sudo perf record --setup-filter unpin Committer testing: root@number:~# perf record --setup-filter pin root@number:~# ls -la /sys/fs/bpf/perf_filter/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 . drwxr-xr-t. 3 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 .. -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 dropped -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 filters -rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 perf_sample_filter -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 pid_hash -rw-------. 1 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 sample_f_rodata root@number:~# ls -la /sys/fs/bpf/perf_filter/perf_sample_filter -rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jul 31 10:43 /sys/fs/bpf/perf_filter/perf_sample_filter root@number:~# Signed-off-by:

The evlist is allocated at the beginning of cmd_record(). Also free-ing thread masks should be paired with record__init_thread_masks() which is called right before __cmd_record(). Let's change the order of these functions to release the resources correctly in case of errors. This is maybe fine as the process exits, but it might be a problem if it manages some system-wide resources that live longer than the process. Signed-off-by:

As the BPF filter is shared between other processes, it should have its own counter for each invocation. Add a new array map (lost_count) to save the count using the same index as the filter. It should clear the count before running the filter. Signed-off-by:

If the target is a list of tasks, it can use a shared hash map for filter expressions. The key of the filter map is an integer index like in an array. A separate pid_hash map is added to get the index for the filter map using the tgid. For system-wide mode including per-cpu or per-user targets are handled by the single entry map like before.

When executing the command "perf list", I met "Error: failed to open tracing events directory" twice, the first reason is that there is no "/sys/kernel/tracing/events" directory due to it does not enable the kernel tracing infrastructure with CONFIG_FTRACE, the second reason is that there is no root privileges. Add the error string to tell the users what happened and what should to do, and also call put_tracing_file() to free events_path a little later to avoid messy code in the error message. At the same time, just remove the redundant "/" of the file path in the function get_tracing_file(), otherwise it shows something like "/sys/kernel/tracing//events".

Normally exception packets don't directly output a branch sample, but if they're the last record in a buffer then they will. Because they don't have addresses set we'll see the placeholder value CS_ETM_INVAL_ADDR (0xdeadbeef) in the output. Since commit 6035b680 ("perf cs-etm: Support dummy address value for CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet") we've used 0 as an externally visible "not set" address value. For consistency reasons and to not make exceptions look like an error, change them to use 0 too. This is particularly visible when doing userspace only tracing because trace is disabled when jumping to the kernel, causing the flush and then forcing the last exception packet to be emitted as a branch. With kernel trace included, there is no flush so exception packets don't generate samples until the next range packet and they'll pick up the correct address.

Now perf uses the capstone library to disassemble the instructions in x86. capstone is used (if available) for perf annotate to speed up. Currently it only supports x86 architecture. This patch includes changes to enable this in powerpc. For now, only for data type sort keys, this method is used and only binary code (raw instruction) is read. This is because powerpc approach to understand instructions and reg fields uses raw instruction. The "cs_disasm" is currently not enabled. While attempting to do cs_disasm, observation is that some of the instructions were not identified (ex: extswsli, maddld) and it had to fallback to use objdump. Hence enabling "cs_disasm" is added in comment section as a TODO for powerpc. Reviewed-by:

Add instruction tracking function "update_insn_state_powerpc" for powerpc. Example sequence in powerpc: ld r10,264(r3) mr r31,r3 <<after some sequence> ld r9,312(r31) Consider ithe sample is pointing to: "ld r9,312(r31)". Here the memory reference is hit at "312(r31)" where 312 is the offset and r31 is the source register. Previous instruction sequence shows that register state of r3 is moved to r31. So to identify the data type for r31 access, the previous instruction ("mr") needs to be tracked and the state type entry has to be updated. Current instruction tracking support in perf tools infrastructure is specific to x86. Patch adds this support for powerpc as well. Reviewed-by: -

Unlike other parsers (like mov__parse), this one fills in the "multi_regs" field for source/target and new added "mem_ref" field. No other fields are set because, here there is no need to parse the disassembled code and arch specific macros will take care of extracting offset and regs which is easier and will be precise.

perf annotate: Add support to capture and parse raw instruction in powerpc using dso__data_read_offset utility Add support to capture and parse raw instruction in powerpc. Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses two ways to disassemble and understand the instruction. One is objdump and other option is via libcapstone. Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses "--no-show-raw-insn" option with "objdump" while disassemble. Example from powerpc with this option for an instruction address is: Snippet from: objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux> c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9) This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name, registers names and offset. Also to find whether there is a memory reference in the operands, "memory_ref_char" field of objdump is used. For x86, "(" is used as memory_ref_char to tackle instructions of the form "mov (%rax), %rcx". In case of powerpc, not all instructions using "(" are the only memory instructions. Example, above instruction can also be of extended form (X form) "lwzx r10,0,r19". Inorder to easy identify the instruction category and extract the source/target registers, patch adds support to use raw instruction for powerpc. Approach used is to read the raw instruction directly from the DSO file using "dso__data_read_offset" utility which is already implemented in perf infrastructure in "util/dso.c". Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1) Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. In powerpc, this translates to instruction form: "ld RT,DS(RA)" and binary code as: | 58 | RT | RA | DS | | ------------------------------------- 0 6 11 16 30 31 Function "symbol__disassemble_dso" is updated to read raw instruction directly from DSO using dso__data_read_offset utility. In case of above example, this captures: line: 38 01 81 e8 The above works well when 'perf report' is invoked with only sort keys for data type ie type and typeoff. Because there is no instruction level annotation needed if only data type information is requested for. For annotating sample, along with type and typeoff sort key, "sym" sort key is also needed. And by default invoking just "perf report" uses sort key "sym" that displays the symbol information. With approach changes in powerpc which first reads DSO for raw instruction, "perf annotate" and "perf report" + a key breaks since it doesn't do the instruction level disassembly. Snippet of result from 'perf report': Samples: 1K of event 'mem-loads', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 937238 do_work /usr/bin/pmlogger [Percent: local period] Percent│ ea230010 │ 3a550010 │ 3a600000 │ 38f60001 │ 39490008 │ 42400438 51.44 │ 81290008 │ 7d485378 Here, raw instruction is displayed in the output instead of human readable annotated form. One way to get the appropriate data is to specify "--objdump path", by which code annotation will be done. But the default behaviour will be changed. To fix this breakage, check if "sym" sort key is set. If so fallback and use the libcapstone/objdump way of disassmbling the sample.

Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses the disasm_line__parse function to parse disassembled line. Example snippet from objdump: objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux> c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9) This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name, registers names and offset. In powerpc, the approach for data type profiling uses raw instruction instead of result from objdump to identify the instruction category and extract the source/target registers. Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1) Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. Add function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc" to handle parsing of raw instruction. Also update "struct disasm_line" to save the binary code/ With the change, function captures: line -> "38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)" raw instruction "38 01 81 e8" Raw instruction is used later to extract the reg/offset fields. Macros are added to extract opcode and register fields. "struct disasm_line" is updated to carry union of "bytes" and "raw_insn" of 32 bit to carry raw code (raw). Function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc fills the raw instruction hex value and can use macros to get opcode. There is no changes in existing code paths, which parses the disassembled code. The size of raw instruction depends on architecture. In case of powerpc, the parsing the disasm line needs to handle cases for reading binary code directly from DSO as well as parsing the objdump result. Hence adding the logic into separate function instead of updating "disasm_line__parse". The architecture using the instruction name and present approach is not altered. Since this approach targets powerpc, the macro implementation is added for powerpc as of now. Since the disasm_line__parse is used in other cases (perf annotate) and not only data tye profiling, the powerpc callback includes changes to work with binary code as well as mnemonic representation. Also in case if the DSO read fails and libcapstone is not supported, the approach fallback to use objdump as option. Hence as option, patch has changes to ensure objdump option also works well.

TYPE_STATE_MAX_REGS is arch-dependent. Currently this is defined to be 16. While checking if reg is valid using has_reg_type, max value is checked using TYPE_STATE_MAX_REGS value. Define this conditionally for powerpc. Reviewed-by:
