This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
objects into kernel.
Committer notes:
Testing it:
When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
eBPF proggie:
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;
For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:
# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
libbpf:
libbpf: -- END LOG --
libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?
(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
kernel, the whole process goes thru:
# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.202 MB perf.data ]
# perf evlist -v
/tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names a BPF program. It parses the
section names in the program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work. The resuling 'struct perf_probe_event'
is stored into program private data for further using.
By utilizing the new probing API, this patch creates probe points during
event parsing.
To ensure probe points be removed correctly, register an atexit hook so
even perf quit through exit() bpf__clear() is still called, so probing
points are cleared. Note that bpf_clear() should be registered before
bpf__probe() is called, so failure of bpf__probe() can still trigger
bpf__clear() to remove probe points which are already probed.
strerror style error reporting scaffold is created by this patch.
bpf__strerror_probe() is the first error reporting function in
bpf-loader.c.
Committer note:
Trying it:
To build a test eBPF object file:
I am testing using a script I built from the 'perf test -v LLVM' output:

Now, with "__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used)):
$ grep _do_fork /proc/kallsyms

$ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1

Cool, we need to provide some better hints, "kprobe_events" is too low
level, one doesn't strictly need to know the precise details of how
these things are put in place, so something that shows the command
needed to fix the permissions would be more helpful.
Lets try as root instead:

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:

By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.
The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.
MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.
Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.
The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.
Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.
tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored
within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps).
Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it
up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running:
$ perf record -a -- sleep 3
$ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits
The fix is to compare dso objects instead.

This patch allows perf record setting event's attr.inherit bit by
config terms like:
# perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ ...
# perf record -e cycles/inherit/ ...
So user can control inherit bit for each event separately.
In following example, a.out fork()s in main then do some complex
CPU intensive computations in both of its children.
Basic result with and without inherit:
# perf record -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 9 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.205 MB perf.data (47920 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio
# ...
# Samples: 23K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 23641752891
...
# Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 30428312415
# perf record -i -e cycles -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.111 MB perf.data (24019 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 11699501775
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 15058023559
Cancel inherit for one event when globally enable:
# perf record -e cycles/no-inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.660 MB perf.data (36004 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 12K of event 'cycles/no-inherit/'
# Event count (approx.): 11895759282
...
# Samples: 24K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 30668000441
Enable inherit for one event when globally disable:
# perf record -i -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 7 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.654 MB perf.data (35868 samples) ]
...
# Samples: 23K of event 'cycles/inherit/'
# Event count (approx.): 23285400229
...
# Samples: 11K of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 14969050259
Committer note:
One can check if the bit was set, in addition to seeing the result in
the perf.data file size as above by doing one of:
# perf record -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.911 MB perf.data (63 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

#
So, the inherit bit was set in both, now, if we disable it globally using
--no-inherit:
# perf record --no-inherit -e cycles -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.910 MB perf.data (56 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

No inherit bit set, then disabling it and setting just on the cycles event:
# perf record --no-inherit -e cycles/inherit/ -e instructions -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.909 MB perf.data (48 samples) ]
# perf evlist -v
cycles/inherit/: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

#
We can see it as well in by using a more verbose level of debug messages in
the tool that sets up the perf_event_attr, 'perf record' in this case:

Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn
where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is
documented here:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html
This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until
AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch
reads the build ID and THEN does the search.

It's annoying to see error or help message when command has many options
like in perf record, report or top. So setup pager when print parser
error or help message - it should be OK since no UI is enabled at the
parsing time. The usage_with_options() already disables it by calling
exit_browser() anyway.

for some of them may come handy:
$ perf report -h --tui
Usage: perf report [<options>]
--tui Use the TUI interface
$ perf report -h --tui --showcpuutilization -b -c
Usage: perf report [<options>]
-b, --branch-stack use branch records for per branch histogram filling
-c, --comms <comm[,comm...]>
only consider symbols in these comms
--showcpuutilization
Show sample percentage for different cpu modes
--tui Use the TUI interface
$
Using it with perf bash completion is also handy, just make sure you
source the needed file:
$ . ~/git/linux/tools/perf/perf-completion.sh
Then press tab/tab after -- to see a list of options, put them after -h
and only the options chosen will have its help presented:
$ perf report -h --

The perf_config() infrastructure we inherited from git calls die() when
the provided config callback returns -1, meaning some key in a config
section is unexpected, that seems ok for a stdio based tool, but in
--tui we end up messing up the output, so just tell the user about the
error, wait for a keystroke and return 0, being more resilient and
proceeding with what we managed to parse.
That die() needs to die, tho :-)

We have three benchmarking subsystems that specify some sort of 'number
of loops' parameter - but all of them do it inconsistently:
numa: -l/--nr_loops
sched messaging: -l/--loops
mem memset/memcpy: -i/--iterations
Harmonize them to -l/--nr_loops by picking the numa variant - which is
also the most likely one to have existing scripting which we don't want
to break.
Plus improve the parameter help texts to indicate the default value for
the nr_loops variable to keep users from guessing ...
Also propagate the naming to internal variables.

Reorder functions a bit, so that we synchronize the layout of the
memcpy() and memset() portions of the code.
This improves the code, especially after we'll add an strlcpy() variant
as well.

[ Removed leftovers from the mem-functions.c rename ]
Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
So 'perf bench mem memcpy/memset' has elaborate code to measure
memcpy()/memset() performance both with freshly allocated buffers (which
includes initial page fault overhead) and with preallocated buffers.
But the thing is, the resulting bandwidth results are mostly
meaningless, because page faults dominate so much of the cost.
It might make sense to measure cache cold vs. cache hot performance, but
the code does not do this.
So remove this complication, and always prefault the ranges before using
them.

However it'd be better to see them only -v option is given. To do that,
it needs to override the warning() function which is used in the

and check the verbose flag in our warning routine.

Currently, when 'perf test' is run by a normal user, it'll fail to
access tracepoint events. The output becomes somewhat messy because it
tries to be nice with long error messages and hints.
IMHO this is not needed for 'perf test' by default and AFAIK 'perf test'
uses pr_debug() rather than pr_err() for such messages so that one can
use -v option to see further details on failed testcases if needed.

Do it using the recently introduced ui_brower scrolling mode, setting
ui_browser.columns to the number of sort columns and then, when
rendering each line, skipping as many initial columns as the user
pressed the right arrow.
As the user presses the left arrow, the ui_browser code will remove the
scrolling counter and the left scrolling takes place.
The right arrow key was an alias for ENTER, so people used to press it
may get a bit annoyed at first, sorry! Ditto for ESC and the left key.
Callchains can be left as is or we can, when rendering the Symbol
column, store the at what position on the screen it is and then
using ui_browser__gotorc() to print it from there, i.e. the callchain
would move around with the symbol.
Leaving it as is, i.e. at a fixed position, close to the left, saves

If the classes derived from ui_browser want to do some sort of
horizontal scrolling, they have just to set ui_browser->columns to
the number of columns available.
Those columns can be the number of characters on the screen, if what is
desired is to scroll character by character, or the number of columns in
a spreadsheet like table.
This is what the hist_browser will do, skipping ui_browser->horiz_scroll
columns when rendering each of its lines.

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the
Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM
(software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not
able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test
case.
For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf
so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture
specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future.
The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the
counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read
both the hardware event and the software event counters.
Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM
event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the
WARN_ON_ONCE().

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in
the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests
into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which

The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build

The --interval-print parameter was limited to 100ms. However, for
example, 10ms is required to do sophisticated bandwidth analysis using
uncore events.
The test shows that the overhead of the system-wide uncore monitoring
with 10ms interval is only ~2%. So this patch reduces the minimal
interval-print allowd to 10ms.
But 10ms may not work well for all cases. For example, when the
cpus/threads number is very large, for system-wide core event monitoring
the overhead could be high.
To handle this issue, a warning will be displayed when the
interval-print is set between 10ms to 100ms. So users can make a
decision according to their specific cases.
# perf stat -e uncore_imc_1/cas_count_read/ -a --interval-print 10 -- sleep 1
print interval < 100ms. The overhead percentage could be high in some
cases. Please proceed with caution.

When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some

perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 malloc
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -a ls perf.data
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.036 MB perf.data (13829241621624967218 samples) ]
Actually, "perf script" just shows 21 samples. The number of samples is also
absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64.

The perf top uses 'dso,symbol' sort keys by default so it overlooked a
problem in task's comm resolving. When the sort key contains 'comm',
some task's comm is not shown properly. This is because the
perf_top__mmap_read_idx() checks the cpumode value improperly.
The cpumode value of non-sample events are 0 (PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_
UNKNOWN) so the events will be ignored by the switch statement. This patch
allows it for non-sample events.

A previous patch added a synthesized comm event for forked child process
but it missed that the event should contain area for sample_id_hdr at

bigger event structs like mmap_events.
This patch fixes it by dynamically allocating event struct including
those area like in perf_event__synthesize_thread_map().

This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL module name,
which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that strcmp("something", NULL)
always causes segfault)
To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the NULL module name
to "kernel" (this is correct, because NULL module name means opening the
debuginfo for the kernel)

Perf probe always failed to find appropriate line numbers because of
failing to find .text start address offset from debuginfo.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event:5
Added new events:
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr)
probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:pcspkr_event_1 -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -l
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f006
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f016
probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event+6 in pcspkr)
probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event+22 in pcspkr)
----
This fixes the above issue as below.
1. Get the relative address of the symbol in .text by using
map->start.
2. Adjust the address by adding the offset of .text section
in the kernel module binary.
With this fix, perf probe -l shows lines correctly.

Fix to remove dot suffix (e.g. .const, .isra) from the second or latter
events which has suffix numbers.
Since the previous commit 35a23ff928 ("perf probe: Cut off the gcc
optimization postfixes from function name") didn't care about the suffix
numbered events, therefore we'll have an error when we add additional
events on the same dot suffix functions.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -f -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 \
-a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Error: Failed to add events.
----
This fixes above issue as below:
----
# ./perf probe -f -a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3 \
-a get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3
Added new events:
probe:get_sigframe (on get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3)
probe:get_sigframe_1 (on get_sigframe.isra.2.constprop.3)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:get_sigframe_1 -aR sleep 1

It is about binding, not type, we have just a letter in kallsyms that
should map both for the ELF type (STT_FUNC, etc) and to the ELF
symbol binding (STB_WEAK, STB_GLOBAL, etc), so rename it now before
introducing kallsyms2_elf_type()

The perf_regs.c file does not get built on Powerpc as CONFIG_PERF_REGS
is false. So the weak definition for 'sample_regs_masks' doesn't get
picked up.
Adding perf_regs.o to util/Build unconditionally, exposes a redefinition
error for 'perf_reg_value()' function (due to the static inline version
in util/perf_regs.h). So use #ifdef HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT' around that
function.
