A question [1] was raised about the use of page::private in AUX buffer allocations, so let's add a clarification about its intended use. The private field and flag are used by perf's rb_alloc_aux() path to tell the pmu driver the size of each high-order allocation, so that the driver can program those appropriately into its hardware. This only matters for PMUs that don't support hardware scatter tables. Otherwise, every page in the buffer is just a page. This patch adds a comment about the private field to the AUX buffer allocation path. [1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=143803696607968Reported-by:

Currently we only update the sysfs event files per available MSR, we didn't actually disallow creating unlisted events. Rework things such that the dectection, sysfs listing and event creation are better coordinated. Sadly it appears it's impossible to probe R/O MSRs under virt. This means we have to do the full model table to avoid listing all MSRs all the time. Tested-by:

In some cases it's useful to characterize samples by file. This is useful to get a higher level categorization, for example to map cost to subsystems. Add a srcfile sort key to perf report. It builds on top of the existing srcline support.

When we introduce a new sort key, we need to update the hists__calc_col_len() function accordingly, otherwise the width will be limited to strlen(header). We can't update it when obtaining a line value for a column (for instance, in sort__srcline_cmp()), because we reset it all when doing a resort (see hists__output_recalc_col_len()), so we need to, from what is in the hist_entry fields, set each of the column widths.

For perf report/script srcline currently only the base file name of the source file is printed. This is a good default because it usually fits on the screen. But in some cases we want to know the full file name, for example to aggregate hits per file. In the later case we need more than the base file name to resolve file naming collisions: for example the kernel source has ~70 files named "core.c" It's also useful as input to post processing tools which want to point to the right file. Add a flag to allow full file name output. Add an option to perf report/script to enable this option. Signed-off-by:

Previous patches introduce llvm__compile_bpf() to compile source file to eBPF object. This patch adds testcase to test it. It also tests libbpf by opening generated object after applying next patch which introduces HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT option. Since llvm__compile_bpf() prints long messages which users who don't explicitly test llvm doesn't care, this patch set verbose to -1 to suppress all debug, warning and error message, and hint user use 'perf test -v' to see the full output. For the same reason, if clang is not found in PATH and there's no [llvm] section in .perfconfig, skip this test. Signed-off-by:

To help user find correct kernel include options, this patch extracts them from kbuild system by an embedded script kinc_fetch_script, which creates a temporary directory, generates Makefile and an empty dummy.o then use the Makefile to fetch $(NOSTDINC_FLAGS), $(LINUXINCLUDE) and $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) options. The result is passed to compiler script using 'KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS' environment variable.

This is the core patch for supporting eBPF on-the-fly compiling, does the following work: 1. Search clang compiler using search_program(). 2.

Patch of clang and source code path is injected into shell command using environment variable using force_set_env().

This patch utilizes previous introduced bpf_load_program to load programs in the ELF file into kernel. Result is stored in 'fd' field in 'struct bpf_program'. During loading, it allocs a log buffer and free it before return. Note that that buffer is not passed to bpf_load_program() if the first loading try is successful. Doesn't use a statically allocated log buffer to avoid potention multi-thread problem. Instructions collected during opening is cleared after loading. load_program() is created for loading a 'struct bpf_insn' array into kernel, bpf_program__load() calls it. By this design we have a function loads instructions into kernel. It will be used by further patches, which creates different instances from a program and load them into kernel. Signed-off-by:

If an eBPF program accesses a map, LLVM generates a load instruction which loads an absolute address into a register, like this: ld_64 r1, <MCOperand Expr:(mymap)> ... call 2 That ld_64 instruction will be recorded in relocation section. To enable the usage of that map, relocation must be done by replacing the immediate value by real map file descriptor so it can be found by eBPF map functions. This patch to the relocation work based on information collected by patches: 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section', 'bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections' and 'bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program'. For each instruction which needs relocation, it inject corresponding file descriptor to imm field. As a part of protocol, src_reg is set to BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to notify kernel this is a map loading instruction. This is the final part of map relocation patch. The principle of map relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'. Signed-off-by:

This patch creates maps based on 'map' section in object file using bpf_create_map(), and stores the fds into an array in 'struct bpf_object'. Previous patches parse ELF object file and collects required data, but doesn't play with the kernel. They belong to the 'opening' phase. This patch is the first patch in 'loading' phase. The 'loaded' field is introduced in 'struct bpf_object' to avoid loading an object twice, because the loading phase clears resources collected during the opening which becomes useless after loading. In this patch, maps_buf is cleared. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces bpf.c and bpf.h, which hold common functions issuing bpf syscall. The goal of these two files is to hide syscall completely from user. Note that bpf.c and bpf.h deal with kernel interface only. Things like structure of 'map' section in the ELF object is not cared by of bpf.[ch]. We first introduce bpf_create_map(). Note that, since functions in bpf.[ch] are wrapper of sys_bpf, they don't use OO style naming. Signed-off-by:

This patch records the indices of instructions which are needed to be relocated. That information is saved in the 'reloc_desc' field in 'struct bpf_program'. In the loading phase (this patch takes effect in the opening phase), the collected instructions will be replaced by map loading instructions. Since we are going to close the ELF file and clear all data at the end of the 'opening' phase, the ELF information will no longer be valid in the 'loading' phase. We have to locate the instructions before maps are loaded, instead of directly modifying the instruction. 'struct bpf_map_def' is introduced in this patch to let us know how many maps are defined in the object. This is the third part of map relocation. The principle of map relocation is described in commit message of 'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'. Signed-off-by:

This patch collects all programs in an object file into an array of 'struct bpf_program' for further processing. That structure is for representing each eBPF program. 'bpf_prog' should be a better name, but it has been used by linux/filter.h. Although it is a kernel space name, I still prefer to call it 'bpf_program' to prevent possible confusion. bpf_object__add_program() creates a new 'struct bpf_program' object. It first init a variable in stack using bpf_program__init(), then if success, enlarges obj->programs array and copy the new object in. Signed-off-by:

This patch collects symbols section. This section is useful when linking BPF maps. What 'bpf_map_xxx()' functions actually require are map's file descriptors (and the internal verifier converts fds into pointers to 'struct bpf_map'), which we don't know when compiling. Therefore, we should make compiler generate a 'ldr_64 r1, <imm>' instruction, and fill the 'imm' field with the actual file descriptor when loading in libbpf. BPF programs should be written in this way: struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") my_map = { .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH, .key_size = sizeof(unsigned long), .value_size = sizeof(unsigned long), .max_entries = 1000000, }; SEC("my_func=sys_write") int my_func(void *ctx) { ... bpf_map_update_elem(&my_map, &key, &value, BPF_ANY); ... } Compiler should convert '&my_map' into a 'ldr_64, r1, <imm>' instruction, where imm should be the address of 'my_map'. According to the address, libbpf knows which map it actually referenced, and then fills the imm field with the 'fd' of that map created by it. However, since we never really 'link' the object file, the imm field is only a record in relocation section. Therefore libbpf should do the relocation: 1. In relocation section (type == SHT_REL), positions of each such 'ldr_64' instruction are recorded with a reference of an entry in symbol table (SHT_SYMTAB); 2. From records in symbol table we can find the indics of map variables. Libbpf first record SHT_SYMTAB and positions of each instruction which required bu such operation. Then create file descriptor. Finally, after map creation complete, replace the imm field. This is the first patch of BPF map related stuff. It records SHT_SYMTAB into object's efile field for further use. Signed-off-by: -

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:
