    perf bpf: Add kprobe example to catch 5s naps · 7542b767

    Description:
    
    . Disable strace like syscall tracing (--no-syscalls), or try tracing
      just some (-e *sleep).
    
    . Attach a filter function to a kernel function, returning when it should
      be considered, i.e. appear on the output:
    
      $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
      #include <bpf.h>
    
      SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec")
      int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
      {
    	  return sec == 5;
      }
    
      char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
      int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
      $
    
    . Run it system wide, so that any sleep of >= 5 seconds and < than 6
      seconds gets caught.
    
    . Ask for callgraphs using DWARF info, so that userspace can be unwound
    
    . While this is running, run something like "sleep 5s".
    
      # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c/call-graph=dwarf/
