perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event

2015-10-29T20:16:23Z

This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event directly using: # perf record --event bpf-file.c command This patch does following works: 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source file or object. 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the in-memory object. Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it: # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1 Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'. Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

2015-10-28T15:48:12Z

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for the object files. After applying this patch, commands like: # perf record --event foo.o sleep become possible. However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list, this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be removed when probing and extracting code is ready. Commiter notes: Using it: $ ls -la foo.o ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory $ perf record --event foo.o sleep libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory event syntax error: 'foo.o' \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o /tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/foo.o /tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ] $ perf evlist /tmp/foo.o $ perf evlist -v /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok. $ perf report --stdio Error: The perf.data file has no samples! # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # $ Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: David Ahern Cc: He Kuang Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kaixu Xia Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444826502-49291-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Enable event_config terms to tracepoint events

2015-09-28T20:30:07Z

This patch enables config terms for tracepoint perf events. Valid terms for tracepoint events are 'call-graph' and 'stack-size', so we can use different callgraph settings for each event and eliminate unnecessary overhead. Here is an example for using different call-graph config for each tracepoint. $ perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_write/call-graph=fp/ -e syscalls:sys_exit_write/call-graph=no/ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=4k count=10 $ perf report --stdio # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 13 of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_write' # Event count (approx.): 13 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... .................. ...................... # 76.92% 76.92% dd libpthread-2.20.so [.] __write_nocancel | ---__write_nocancel 23.08% 23.08% dd libc-2.20.so [.] write | ---write | |--33.33%-- 0x2031342820736574 | |--33.33%-- 0xa6e69207364726f | --33.33%-- 0x34202c7320393039 ... # Samples: 13 of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_write' # Event count (approx.): 13 # # Children Self Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ........ ....... .................. ...................... # 76.92% 76.92% dd libpthread-2.20.so [.] __write_nocancel 23.08% 23.08% dd libc-2.20.so [.] write 7.69% 0.00% dd [unknown] [.] 0x0a6e69207364726f 7.69% 0.00% dd [unknown] [.] 0x2031342820736574 7.69% 0.00% dd [unknown] [.] 0x34202c7320393039 Signed-off-by: He Kuang Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1443412336-120050-4-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Adds the tracepoint name parsing support

2015-09-28T20:29:38Z

Adds rules for parsing tracepoint names. Change rules of tracepoint which derives from PE_NAMEs into tracepoint names directly, so adding more rules based on tracepoint names will be easier. Changes v2-v3: - Change __event_legacy_tracepoint label in bison file to tracepoint_name - Fix formats error.
