9a208effd1 bpf tools: Link all bpf objects onto a list
To allow enumeration of all bpf_objects, keep them in a list (hidden to
caller). bpf_object__for_each_safe() is introduced to do this iteration.
It is safe even user close the object during iteration.

aa9b1ac33c bpf tools: Introduce accessors for struct bpf_program
This patch introduces accessors for user of libbpf to retrieve section
name and fd of a opened/loaded eBPF program. 'struct bpf_prog_handler'
is used for that purpose. Accessors of programs section name and file
descriptor are provided. Set/get private data are also impelmented.

55cffde2e1 bpf tools: Load eBPF programs in object files into kernel
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.

8a47a6c522 bpf tools: Relocate eBPF programs
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'.

52d3352e79 bpf tools: Create eBPF maps defined in an object file
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.

e3ed2fef22 bpf tools: Add bpf.c/h for common bpf operations
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.

340909152a bpf tools: Record map accessing instructions for each program
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'.

b62f06e81b bpf tools: Collect relocation sections from SHT_REL sections

This patch simply store the data into 'reloc' field. Following patch
will parse them to know the exact instructions which are needed to be
relocated.

Note that the collected data will be invalid after ELF object file is
closed.

This is the second patch related to map relocation. The first one is
'bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section'. The
principle of map relocation is described in its commit message.

a5b8bd47dc bpf tools: Collect eBPF programs from their own sections
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.

bec7d68cb5 bpf tools: Collect symbol table from SHT_SYMTAB section
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.

Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianness. Even if we swap

new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other
things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return.

user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this
patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic
validation according to e_type and e_machine.

All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.

After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.

The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

b3f59d66e2 bpf tools: Allow caller to set printing function
By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she
own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those
functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning
printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing
is NULL.

This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own
logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated
logging level control.

1b76c13e4b bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check
This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.

To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.

0efe6b6769 perf tools: Validate config term maximum value
Currently the value of a PMU config term is silently truncated if it is
too big. This is an impediment to validating the value for other
criteria later on i.e.  the user provides an invalid value that gets
truncated to a valid one.

The maximum value validation is only done for the parser where the error
is passed back to the user. In other cases the silent truncation
continues so as not to affect tools that perhaps rely on it.

30e863bb6f perf annotate: Compute IPC and basic block cycles
Compute the IPC and the basic block cycles for the annotate display.

IPC is computed by counting the instructions, and then dividing the
accounted cycles by that count.

The actual IPC computation can only be done at annotate time, because we
need to parse the objdump output first to know the number of
instructions in the basic block.

The cycles/IPC are also put into the perf function annotation so that
the display code can show them.

Again basic block overlaps are not handled, with the longest winning,
but there are some heuristics to hide the IPC when the longest is not
the most common.

v2: Compute IPC correctly.

d4957633bf perf report: Add infrastructure for a cycles histogram
This adds the basic infrastructure to keep track of cycle counts per
basic block for annotate. We allocate an array similar to the normal
accounting, and then account branch cycles there.

We handle two cases:

cycles per basic block with start and cycles per branch (these are later
used for either IPC or just cycles per BB)

In the start case we cannot handle overlaps, so always the longest basic
block wins.

For the cycles per branch case everything is accurately accounted.

v2: Remove unnecessary checks. Slight restructure. Move
symbol__get_annotation to another patch. Move histogram allocation.
v3: Merged with current tree

Instead, we now do this directly inside perf trace.

Note that this is also done by 'strace', which even adds a column with

Example:

007d66a0bd perf trace: Write to stderr by default
Without this patch, it is cumbersome to read the trace output but
ignoring the normal, potentially verbose, output of the debuggee.  One
common example is doing something like the following:

 perf trace -s find /tmp > /dev/null

Without this patch, the trace summary will be lost. Now, it will still
be printed at the end. This behavior is also applied by strace.

3206771239 perf tools: Per-event time support
This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.

One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.

The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

f994592d93 perf trace: Deref sys_enter pointer args with contents from probe:vfs_getname
To work like strace and dereference syscall pointer args we need to
insert probes (or tracepoints) right after we copy those bytes from
userspace.

Since we're formatting the syscall args at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time,
we need to have a formatter that just stores the position where, later,
when we get the probe:vfs_getname, we can insert the pointer contents.

Now, if a probe:vfs_getname with this format is in place:

 # perf probe -l
  probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@/home/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)

That was, in this case, put in place with:

 # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
 Added new event:
  probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
 #

Then 'perf trace' will notice that and do the pointer -> contents
expansion:

 # trace -e open touch /tmp/bla
  0.165 (0.010 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  0.195 (0.011 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  0.512 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
  0.582 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /tmp/bla, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: 438) = 3
 #

Roughly equivalent to strace's output:

 # strace -rT -e open touch /tmp/bla
  0.000000 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000039>
  0.000317 open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000102>
  0.001461 open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000072>
  0.000405 open("/tmp/bla", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3 <0.000055>
  0.000641 +++ exited with 0 +++
 #

Now we need to either look for at all syscalls that are marked as
pointers and have some well known names ("filename", "pathname", etc)
and set the arg formatter to the one used for the "open" syscall in this
patch.

This implementation works for syscalls with just a string being copied
from userspace, for matching syscalls with more than one string being
copied via the same probe/trace point (vfs_getname) we need to extend
the vfs_getname probe spec to include the pointer too, but there are
some problems with that in 'perf probe' or the kernel kprobes code, need
to investigate before considering supporting multiple strings per
syscall.

e4d44e830a perf trace: Use a constant for the syscall formatting buffer
We were using it as a magic number, 1024, fix that.

Eventually we need to stop doing it per line, and do it per
arg, traversing the args at output time, to avoid the memmove()
calls that will be used in the next cset to replace pointers
present at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time with its contents that
appear at probe:vfs_getname time, before raw_syscalls:sys_exit
time.

ee4c75887d perf tools: Force period term to overload global settings
Currently the command line option settings beats the per event period
settings:

With no global settings, we get per-event configuration:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

With 'c' option period setup, we get 'c' option value:
  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000 ...

This patch makes the per-event settings overload the global 'c' option
setup:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/instructions,period=20000/' -c 1000 sleep 1
  $ perf evlist -v
  ... { sample_period, sample_freq }: 20000 ...

I think the making the per-event settings to overload any other config
makes more sense than current state. However it breaks the current
'period' term handling, which might cause some noise.. so let's see ;-).

Also fixing parse event tests with the new behaviour.

4c7de49a29 perf session env: Rename exit method
The semantic associated in tools/perf/ with foo__delete(instance) is to
release all resources referenced by 'instance' members and then release
the memory for 'instance' itself.

The perf_session_env__delete() function isn't doing this, it just does
the first part, but the space used by 'instance' itself isn't freed, as
it is embedded in a larger structure, that will be freed at other stage.

For these cases we se foo__exit(), i.e. the usage is:

 void foo__delete(foo)
 {
         if (foo) {
                 foo__exit(foo);
                 free(foo);
         }
 }

But when we have something like:

 struct bar {
         struct foo foo;
         . . .
 }

Then we can't really call foo__delete(&bar.foo), we must have this
instead:

 void bar__exit(bar)
 {
         foo__exit(&bar.foo);
         /* free other bar-> resources */
 }

 void bar__delete(bar)
 {
         if (bar) {
		bar__exit(bar);
                free(bar);
         }
 }

So just rename perf_session_env__delete() to perf_session_env__exit().

959c2199d4 perf python: Remove dependency on 'machine' methods
The python binding still doesn't provide symbol resolving facilities,
but the recent addition of the trace_event__register_resolver() function
made it add as a dependency the machine__resolve_kernel_addr() method,
that in turn drags all the symbol resolving code.

The problem:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf test -v python
  17: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 6853
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: machine__resolve_kernel_addr
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
  [root@zoo ~]#

Fix it by requiring this function to receive the resolver as a
parameter, just like pevent_register_function_resolver(), i.e. do
not explicitely refer to an object file not included in
tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources.

5497628576 perf stat: Fix transaction lenght metrics
The transaction length metrics in perf stat -T broke recently.

It would not match the metric correctly and always print K/sec.

This was caused by a incorrect update of the cycles_in_tx statistics.

Update the correct variable.

Also the check for zero division was reversed, which resulted in K/sec
being printed for no transactions. Fix this also up.

perf's symbol resolution routines, there is no need to carry about
~4.5MB per perf.data when we can get it from one of the places the perf
symbol resolution looks for that symtab (debuginfo, ~/.debug/,
/proc/kallsyms, --symfs, etc), using the kernel and modules build-ids to
make sure the right table is used.

ccb3a8294a perf script: Switch from perf.data's kallsyms to perf's symbol resolver
We were storing a copy of kallsyms inside perf.data file so that we
could resolve kernel addresses to function (start, name, mod) tuples,
but that can be achieved using the symbol resolving routines we have
in symbols.c, and that are used elsewhere in tools/perf.

So, do just like 'perf trace' did and ask libtraceevent to use perf's
symbol resolution routines.

The next step is to just skip whatever kallsyms data is embedded in
older perf.data files and finally to stop storing kallsyms in the perf
data file, as the 20-bytes build-id stored in perf.data's header is
enough to find out the right symtab (be it ELF, kcore, kallsyms, etc) to
use.

33a2471cc9 tools lib traceevent: Allow setting an alternative symbol resolver
The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel
symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using
libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via
subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one.

To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent
needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr.

This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving
facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve
kernel symbols.

d2f3f5d2e9 perf bench futex: Add lock_pi stresser
Allows a way of measuring low level kernel implementation of FUTEX_LOCK_PI and
FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI.

The program comes in two flavors:

(i) single futex (default), all threads contend on the same uaddr.  For the
sake of the benchmark, we call into kernel space even when the lock is
uncontended.  The kernel will set it to TID, any waters that come in and
contend for the pi futex will be handled respectively by the kernel.

(ii) -M option for multiple futexes, each thread deals with its own futex. This
is a trivial scenario and only measures kernel handling of 0->TID transition.

4ba1faa19f perf record: Allow filtering perf's pid via --exclude-perf
This patch allows 'perf record' to exclude events issued by perf itself
by '--exclude-perf' option.

Before this patch, when doing something like:

 # perf record -a -e syscalls:sys_enter_write <cmd>

One could easily get result like this:

 # /tmp/perf report --stdio
 ...
  # Overhead  Command  Shared Object       Symbol
  # ........  .......  ..................  ....................
  #
      99.99%  perf     libpthread-2.18.so  [.] __write_nocancel
      0.01%   ls       libc-2.18.so        [.] write
      0.01%   sshd     libc-2.18.so        [.] write
 ...

Where most events are generated by perf itself.

A shell trick can be done to filter perf itself out:

 # cat << EOF > ./tmp
 > #!/bin/sh
 > exec perf record -e ... --filter="common_pid != \$\$" -a sleep 10
 > EOF
 # chmod a+x ./tmp
 # ./tmp

However, doing so is user unfriendly.

This patch extracts evsel iteration framework introduced by patch 'perf
record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching' into
foreach_evsel_in_last_glob(), and makes exclude_perf() function append
new filter expression to each evsel selected by a '-e' selector.

To avoid losing filters if user pass '--filter' after '--exclude-perf',
this patch uses perf_evsel__append_filter() in both case, instead of
perf_evsel__set_filter() which removes old filter. As a side effect, now
it is possible to use multiple '--filter' option for one selector. They
are combinded with '&&'.

15bfd2cc10 perf record: Apply filter to all events in a glob matching
There is an old problem in perf's filter applying which first posted at
Sep. 2014 at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/9/944 that, if passing
multiple events in a glob matching expression in cmdline then add
'--filter' after them, the filter will be applied on only the last one.

For example:

 # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null &
 [1] 464
 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.239 MB perf.data (2094 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 2K of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2092
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

In this example, filter only applied on 'syscalls:sys_exit_read', and
there's no way to set filter for ''syscalls:sys_enter_read'.

This patch adds a 'cmdline_group_boundary' for 'struct evsel', and
apply filter on all events between two boundary marks.

After applying this patch:

 # perf record -a -e 'syscalls:sys_*_read' --filter 'common_pid != 464' sleep 0.1
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (3 samples) ]
 # perf report --stdio | tee
 ...
 # Samples: 1  of event 'syscalls:sys_enter_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 1
 ...
 # Samples: 2  of event 'syscalls:sys_exit_read'
 # Event count (approx.): 2
 ...

   0.468 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...

Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)

8816d38d49 perf strlist: Make parse_list() private
It is not used anywhere, expose it when/if needed.

8ff9daf3c1 perf strlist: Allow substitutions from file contents in a given directory
So, if we have an strlist equal to:

   "file,close"

And we call it as:

   struct strlist_config *config = { .dirname = "~/strace/groups", };
   struct strlist *slist = strlist__new("file, close", &config);

And we have:
  $ cat ~/strace/groups/file
  access
  open
  openat
  statfs

Then the resulting strlist will have these contents:

  [ "access", "open", "openat", "statfs", "close" ]

This will be used to implement strace syscall groups in 'perf trace',
but can be used in some other tool, thus being implemented in 'strlist'.
