Check endianness according to EHDR. Code is taken from tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c. Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianness. Even if we swap eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with endianness in code logical generated by LLVM. Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let LLVM to create good code. Signed-off-by:

To support dynamic compiling, this patch allows caller to pass a in-memory buffer to libbpf by bpf_object__open_buffer(). libbpf calls elf_memory() to open it as ELF object file. Because __bpf_object__open() collects all required data and won't need that buffer anymore, libbpf uses that buffer directly instead of clone a new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return. Signed-off-by:

This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic validation according to e_type and e_machine. All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of 'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it. After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory. The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released. Signed-off-by:

By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing is NULL. This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated logging level control. Signed-off-by:

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates 'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories. Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent. Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found, the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure 'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found. Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr' (bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature, which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel. To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced 'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added into libbpf's specific.

Currently the value of a PMU config term is silently truncated if it is too big. This is an impediment to validating the value for other criteria later on i.e. the user provides an invalid value that gets truncated to a valid one. The maximum value validation is only done for the parser where the error is passed back to the user. In other cases the silent truncation continues so as not to affect tools that perhaps rely on it.

Now that we can process branch data in annotate it makes sense to support enabling branch recording from top too. Most of the code needed for this is already in shared code with report. But we need to add: - The option parsing code (using shared code from the previous patch) - Document the options - Set up the IPC/cycles accounting state in the top session - Call the accounting code in the hist iter callback Signed-off-by:

Andi Kleen authored
Add two new columns to the annotate display and display the average cycles and the compute IPC if available. When the LBR was not in any branch mode the IPC computation is automatically disabled. We still display the cycle information. Example output (with made up numbers): The second column is the IPC and third average cycles. │ __attribute__((noinline)) f2() │ { 5.15 0.07 │ push %rbp 0.01 0.07 │ mov %rsp,%rbp │ c = a / b; 9.87 0.07 │ mov a,%eax 0.07 │ mov b,%ecx 0.07 │ cltd 4.92 0.07 123│ idiv %ecx 70.79 0.07 │ mov %eax,__TMC_END__ │ } 9.25 0.07 │ pop %rbp 0.01 0.07 123│ ← retq v2: Fix display problems.

Compute the IPC and the basic block cycles for the annotate display. IPC is computed by counting the instructions, and then dividing the accounted cycles by that count. The actual IPC computation can only be done at annotate time, because we need to parse the objdump output first to know the number of instructions in the basic block. The cycles/IPC are also put into the perf function annotation so that the display code can show them. Again basic block overlaps are not handled, with the longest winning, but there are some heuristics to hide the IPC when the longest is not the most common. v2: Compute IPC correctly. Signed-off-by:

Andi Kleen authored
This adds the basic infrastructure to keep track of cycle counts per basic block for annotate. We allocate an array similar to the normal accounting, and then account branch cycles there. We handle two cases: cycles per basic block with start and cycles per branch (these are later used for either IPC or just cycles per BB) In the start case we cannot handle overlaps, so always the longest basic block wins. For the cycles per branch case everything is accurately accounted. v2: Remove unnecessary checks. Slight restructure. Move symbol__get_annotation to another patch. Move histogram allocation. v3: Merged with current tree Signed-off-by:

cycles is a new branch_info field available on some CPUs that indicates the time deltas between branches in the LBR. Add a sort key and output code for the cycles to allow to display the basic block cycles individually in perf report. We also pass in the cycles for weight when LBRs are processed, which allows to get global and local weight, to get an estimate of the total cost. And also print the cycles information for perf report -D. I also added printing for the previously missing LBR flags (mispredict etc.) Signed-off-by:

perf currently fails to build on MIPS as there is no tools/perf/arch/mips/Build file. Adding an empty file fixes this as there are no MIPS-specific sources to build. It looks like the same is needed for Alpha and PA-RISC, though I haven't been able to test those. Signed-off-by:

By copying BPF related operation to uprobe processing path, this patch allow users attach BPF programs to uprobes like what they are already doing on kprobes. After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a uprobe perf event. Which make it possible to profile user space programs and kernel events together using BPF. Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT to ensure trace_call_bpf() is compiled even if KPROBE_EVENT is not set. Signed-off-by:

Commit e1abf2cc ("bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more configurable") updated the building condition of bpf_trace.o from CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL to CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS, but the corresponding #ifdef controller in trace_events.h for trace_call_bpf() was not changed. Which, in theory, is incorrect. With current Kconfigs, we can create a .config with CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y and CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=n by unselecting CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT and selecting CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL. With these options, trace_call_bpf() will be defined as an extern function, but if anyone calls it a symbol missing error will be triggered since bpf_trace.o was not built. This patch changes the #ifdef controller for trace_call_bpf() from CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL to CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS. I'll show its correctness: Before this patch: BPF_SYSCALL BPF_EVENTS trace_call_bpf bpf_trace.o y y normal compiled n n inline not compiled y n normal not compiled (incorrect) n y impossible (BPF_EVENTS depends on BPF_SYSCALL) After this patch: BPF_SYSCALL BPF_EVENTS trace_call_bpf bpf_trace.o y y normal compiled n n inline not compiled y n inline not compiled (fixed) n y impossible (BPF_EVENTS depends on BPF_SYSCALL) So this patch doesn't break anything. QED. Signed-off-by:

It is cumbersome to manually calculate the total time spent in a given syscall by multiplying the average value with the number of calls. Instead, we now do this directly inside perf trace. Note that this is also done by 'strace', which even adds a column with relative numbers - something we could do in the future. Example: perf trace -s find /some/folder > /dev/null Summary of events: find (19976), 700123 events, 100.0%, 0.000 msec syscall calls total min avg max stddev (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) (%) --------------- -------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ------ read 4 0.006 0.001 0.002 0.003 27.42% write 8046 9.617 0.001 0.001 0.035 0.56% open 34196 40.384 0.001 0.001 0.071 0.30% close 68375 57.104 0.001 0.001 0.076 0.25% stat 4 0.004 0.001 0.001 0.001 3.14% fstat 34189 27.518 0.001 0.001 0.060 0.34% mmap 13 0.029 0.001 0.002 0.003 10.74% mprotect 6 0.018 0.002 0.003 0.005 17.04% munmap 3 0.014 0.003 0.005 0.006 24.87% brk 87 0.490 0.001 0.006 0.016 6.50% ioctl 3 0.004 0.001 0.001 0.003 36.39% access 1 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.004 0.00% uname 1 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.00% getdents 68393 143.600 0.001 0.002 0.187 0.95% fchdir 68371 56.980 0.001 0.001 0.111 0.39% arch_prctl 1 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.00% openat 34184 41.737 0.001 0.001 0.102 0.41% newfstatat 34184 41.180 0.001 0.001 0.064 0.34% Signed-off-by:Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Tested-by:

Without this patch, it is cumbersome to read the trace output but ignoring the normal, potentially verbose, output of the debuggee. One common example is doing something like the following: perf trace -s find /tmp > /dev/null Without this patch, the trace summary will be lost. Now, it will still be printed at the end. This behavior is also applied by strace.

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event. One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which can significantly reduce the sampling overhead. The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered. Signed-off-by:
