      perf trace: Setup the augmented syscalls bpf-output event fields · d3d1c4bd
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The payload that is put in place by the eBPF script attached to
      syscalls:sys_enter_openat (and other syscalls with pointers, in the
      future) can be consumed by the existing sys_enter beautifiers if
      evsel->priv is setup with a struct syscall_tp with struct tp_fields for
      the 'syscall_id' and 'args' fields expected by the beautifiers, this
      patch does just that.

      perf bpf: Make bpf__setup_output_event() return the bpf-output event · 78e890ea
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We're calling it to setup that event, and we'll need it later to decide
      if the bpf-output event we're handling is the one setup for a specific
      purpose, return it using ERR_PTR, etc.

      perf trace: Handle "bpf-output" events associated with "__augmented_syscalls__" BPF map · e0b6d2ef
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Add an example BPF script that writes syscalls:sys_enter_openat raw
      tracepoint payloads augmented with the first 64 bytes of the "filename"
      syscall pointer arg.
      
      Then catch it and print it just like with things written to the
      "__bpf_stdout__" map associated with a PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT software
      event, by just letting the default tracepoint handler in 'perf trace',
      trace__event_handler(), to use bpf_output__fprintf(trace, sample), just
      like it does with all other PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT events, i.e. just
      do a dump on the payload, so that we can check if what is being printed
      has at least the first 64 bytes of the "filename" arg:
      
      The augmented_syscalls.c eBPF script:
      
        # cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c
        // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
      
        #include <stdio.h>
      
        struct bpf_map SEC("maps") __augmented_syscalls__ = {
             .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
             .key_size = sizeof(int),
             .value_size = sizeof(u32),
             .max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
        };
      
        struct syscall_enter_openat_args {
      	unsigned long long common_tp_fields;
      	long		   syscall_nr;
      	long		   dfd;
      	char		   *filename_ptr;
      	long		   flags;
      	long		   mode;
        };
      
        struct augmented_enter_openat_args {
      	struct syscall_enter_openat_args args;
      	char				 filename[64];
        };
      
        int syscall_enter(openat)(struct syscall_enter_openat_args *args)
        {
      	struct augmented_enter_openat_args augmented_args;
      
      	probe_read(&augmented_args.args, sizeof(augmented_args.args), args);
      	probe_read_str(&augmented_args.filename, sizeof(augmented_args.filename), args->filename_ptr);
      	perf_event_output(args, &__augmented_syscalls__, BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU,
      			  &augmented_args, sizeof(augmented_args));
      	return 1;
        }
      
        license(GPL);
        #
      
      So it will just prepare a raw_syscalls:sys_enter payload for the
      "openat" syscall.
      
      This will eventually be done for all syscalls with pointer args,
      globally or just when the user asks, using some spec, which args of
      which syscalls it wants "expanded" this way, we'll probably start with
      just all the syscalls that have char * pointers with familiar names, the
      ones we already handle with the probe:vfs_getname kprobe if it is in
      place hooking the kernel getname_flags() function used to copy from user
      the paths.
      
      Running it we get:
      
        # perf trace -e perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
           0.000 (         ): __augmented_syscalls__:X?.C......................`\..................../etc/ld.so.cache..#......,....ao.k...............k......1.".........

           0.325 (         ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: 0xe8be50d6
           0.327 ( 0.004 ms): cat/31292 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0xe8be50d6                                 ) = 3
        #
      
      We need to go on optimizing this to avoid seding trash or zeroes in the
      pointer content payload, using the return from bpf_probe_read_str(), but
      to keep things simple at this stage and make incremental progress, lets
      leave it at that for now.

      That is just bpf__strerror_setup_stdout() renamed to the more general
      "setup_output_event" method, keep the existing stdout() as a wrapper.

      By passing a 'name' arg, that will eventually be used to setup more
      "bpf-output" events, e.g. to create a event where to create raw_syscalls
      like events that in addition to the syscall arguments will also copy the
      pointer contents being passed from/to userspace.

      This is part of an ongoing experimentation on making eBPF scripts as
      consumed by perf to be as concise as possible and using familiar
      concepts such as stdio.h functions, that end up just wrapping the
      existing BPF functions, trying to hide as much boilerplate as possible
      while using just conventions and C preprocessor tricks.

      perf report: Add --percent-type option · e6902d1b
      Jiri Olsa authored
      Set annotation percent type from following choices:
      
        global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits
      
      With following report option setup the percent type will be passed to
      annotation browser:
      
        $ perf report --percent-type period-local
      
      The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope
      of the function (local) or the whole data (global).  The period/hits
      keywords set the base the percentage is computed on - the samples period
      or the number of samples (hits).

        global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits
      
      Examples:
      
        $ perf annotate --percent-type period-local --stdio | head -1
         Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: local period)
        $ perf annotate --percent-type hits-local --stdio | head -1
         Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: local hits)
        $ perf annotate --percent-type hits-global --stdio | head -1
         Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: global hits)
        $ perf annotate --percent-type period-global --stdio | head -1
         Percent         |      Source code ... es, percent: global period)
      
      The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope
      of the function (local) or the whole data (global).
      
      The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed on -
      the samples period or the number of samples (hits).

      Yury Norov authored
      bitmap_zero() is called after bitmap_alloc() in perf code. But
      bitmap_alloc() internally uses calloc() which guarantees that allocated
      area is zeroed. So following bitmap_zero is unneeded. Drop it.
      
      This happened because of confusing name for bitmap allocator. It
      should has name bitmap_zalloc instead of bitmap_alloc.
      
      This series:
      
        https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/18/841
      
      introduces a new API for bitmap allocations in kernel, and functions
      there are named correctly. Following patch propogates the API to tools,
      and fixes naming issue.

      also has the symbolic name SF_CYCLES_BASIC_DIAG, using 'perf record -e

      This output is shown for every sampled data block. The
      output contains the
      
       - basic-sampling data entry
      
       - diagnostic-sampling data entry
      
       - trailer entry
      
      The basic sampling entry and diagnostic sampling entry sizes can be
      extracted using the trailer entries in the SDB.  On older hardware these
      values (bsdes and dsdes in the trailer entry) are reserved and zero.
      Older hardware use hard coded values based on the s390 machine type.

      perf auxtrace: Support for perf report -D for s390 · b96e6615
      Thomas Richter authored
      Add initial support for s390 auxiliary traces using the CPU-Measurement
      Sampling Facility.
      
      Support and ignore PERF_REPORT_AUXTRACE_INFO records in the perf data
      file. Later patches will show the contents of the auxiliary traces.
      
      Setup the auxtrace queues and data structures for s390.  A raw dump of
      the perf.data file now does not show an error when an auxtrace event is
      encountered.

      Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software
      implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below).
      
      =============================================================================
      
      The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
      performance information on the mainframe.  Basically, it was introduced
      with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
      For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
      facility.  The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
      cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.
      
      The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
      samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer.  At some point,
      for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
      samples (while the sampler continues to run).
      
      Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
      and sampling facilities.  Recently, the device driver was updated to also
      "export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area.  Thomas now completed the
      related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.
      
      If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a
      look into:
      
      - The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities, SA23-2260-05
        http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg26fcd1cc32246f4c8852574ce0044734a
      
      and to learn how-to use it for Linux on Z, have look at chapter 54,
      "Using the CPU-measurement facilities" in the:
      
      - Device Drivers, Features, and Commands, SC33-8411-34
