      perf tools: Use the "_stest" symbol to identify the kernel map when loading kcore · 56549978
      Adrian Hunter authored
      The first symbol is not necessarily in the kernel text.  Instead of
      using the first symbol, use the _stest symbol to identify the kernel map
      when loading kcore.
      
      This allows for the introduction of symbols to identify the x86_64 PTI
      entry trampolines.

      perf bpf: Add probe() helper to reduce kprobes boilerplate · d8fc764d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So that kprobe definitions become:
      
        int probe(function, variables)(void *ctx, int err, var1, var2, ...)
      
      The existing 5sec.c, got converted and goes from:
      
        SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec")
        int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
        {
        }
      
      To:
      
        int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
        {
        }
      
      If we decide to add tv_nsec as well, then it becomes:
      
        $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
        #include <bpf.h>
      
        int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec rqtp->tv_nsec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec, long nsec)
        {
      	  return sec == 5;
        }
      
        license(GPL);
        $
      
      And if we run it, system wide as before and run some 'sleep' with values
      for the tv_nsec field, we get:
      
        # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
           0.000 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=100000000
        9641.650 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=123450001

      perf bpf: Add kprobe example to catch 5s naps · 7542b767
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      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/
           0.000 perf_bpf_probe:func:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5

      perf bpf: Add bpf.h to be used in eBPF proggies · dd8e4ead
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So, the first helper is the one shortening a variable/function section
      attribute, from, for instance:
      
        char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
      
      to:
      
        char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
      
      Convert empty.c to that and it becomes:
      
        # cat ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c
        #include <bpf.h>
      
        char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";

      perf bpf: Add 'examples' directories · 8f12a2ff
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      The first one is the bare minimum that bpf infrastructure accepts before
      it expects actual events to be set up:
      
        $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
        char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
        int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
        $
      
      If you remove that "version" line, then it will be refused with:
      
        # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
        event syntax error: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c'
                             \___ Failed to load tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost
      
        (add -v to see detail)
        Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
      
         Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
            or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      
            -e, --event <event>   event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
        #
      
      The next ones will, step by step, show simple filters, then the needs
      for headers will be made clear, it will be put in place and tested with
      new examples, rinse, repeat.
      
      Back to using this first one to test the perf+bpf infrastructure:
      
      If we run it will fail, as no functions are present connecting with,
      say, a tracepoint or a function using the kprobes or uprobes
      infrastructure:
      
        # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
        WARNING: event parser found nothing
        invalid or unsupported event: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c'
        Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
      
         Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
            or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
            or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
      
            -e, --event <event>   event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
        #
      
      But, if we set things up to dump the generated object file to a file,
      and do this after having run 'make install', still on the developer's
      $HOME directory:
      
        # cat ~/.perfconfig
        [llvm]
      
      	dump-obj = true

        <SNIP>
        #
      
      We can look at the dumped object file:
      
        # ls -la ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o
