The latency subcommand holds a tree of working atoms sorted by thread's
pid/tid. If there's new thread with same pid and tid, the old working atom is
found and assert bug condition is hit in search function:
thread_atoms_search: Assertion `!(thread != atoms->thread)' failed
Changing the sort function to use thread object pointers together with pid and
tid check. This way new thread will never find old one with same pid/tid.

It is possible that find_perf_probe_point_from_map() fails to find a
symbol but still returns 0 because of an small error when coding:
find_perf_probe_point_from_map() set 'ret' to error code at first, but
also use it to hold return value of kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name().
This patch resets 'ret' to error even kernel_get_symbol_address_by_name()
success, so if !sym, the whole function returns error correctly.

This patch introduces a new macro "__NR_CPUS__" to perf's embedded clang
compiler, which represent the number of configured CPUs in this system.
BPF programs can use this macro to create a map with the same number of
system CPUs. For example:
struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") pmu_map = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
.key_size = sizeof(int),
.value_size = sizeof(u32),
.max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,

Those tests take a long time and sometimes we stop it, so allow randomly
shuffling the tests so that we have a better chance of running more of
them in partial 'make build-test' runs.
Using it just on the 'build-test' target, i.e.:
make -C tools/perf build-test
Is equivalent to:

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.

This is the final patch which makes basic BPF filter work. After
applying this patch, users are allowed to use BPF filter like:
# perf record --event ./hello_world.o ls
A bpf_fd field is appended to 'struct evsel', and setup during the
callback function add_bpf_event() for each 'probe_trace_event'.
PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF ioctl is used to attach eBPF program to a newly
created perf event. The file descriptor of the eBPF program is passed to
perf record using previous patches, and stored into evsel->bpf_fd.
It is possible that different perf event are created for one kprobe
events for different CPUs. In this case, when trying to call the ioctl,
EEXIST will be return. This patch doesn't treat it as an error.
Committer note:
The bpf proggie used so far:
__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used))
int fork(void *ctx)
{
return 0;
}
char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
failed to produce any samples, even with forks happening and it being
running in system wide mode.
That is because now the filter is being associated, and the code above
always returns zero, meaning that all forks will be probed but filtered
away ;-/
Change it to 'return 1;' instead and after that:
# trace --no-syscalls --event /tmp/foo.o
0.000 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
2.333 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
3.725 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))
4.550 perf_bpf_probe:fork:(ffffffff8109be30))

This patch improves perf script by enabling printing of the
branch stack via the 'brstack' and 'brstacksym' arguments to
the field selection option -F. The option is off by default
and operates only if the perf.data file has branch stack content.
The branches are printed in to/from pairs. The most recent branch
is printed first. The number of branch entries vary based on the
underlying hardware and filtering used.
The brstack prints FROM/TO addresses in raw hexadecimal format.
The brstacksym prints FROM/TO addresses in symbolic form wherever
possible.
$ perf script -F ip,brstack

$ perf script -F ip,brstacksym

This patch creates a 'struct perf_evsel' for every probe in a BPF object
file(s) and fills 'struct evlist' with them. The previously introduced
dummy event is now removed. After this patch, the following command:
# perf record --event filter.o ls
Can trace on each of the probes defined in filter.o.
The core of this patch is bpf__foreach_tev(), which calls a callback
function for each 'struct probe_trace_event' event for a bpf program
with each associated file descriptors. The add_bpf_event() callback
creates evsels by calling parse_events_add_tracepoint().
Since bpf-loader.c will not be built if libbpf is turned off, an empty
bpf__foreach_tev() is defined in bpf-loader.h to avoid build errors.

I.e. we create just the PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1),
PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY(config 0x9) event, now, with this patch:
# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.210 MB perf.data ]
# perf evlist -v

inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest:
1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
#
We now have a PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE (type: 1), but the config states 0x6bd,
which is how, after setting up the event via the kprobes interface, the
'perf_bpf_probe:fork' event is accessible via the perf_event_open
syscall. This is all transient, as soon as the 'perf record' session
ends, these probes will go away.
To see how it looks like, lets try doing a neverending session, one that
expects a control+C to end:
# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a
So, with that in place, we can use 'perf probe' to see what is in place:
# perf probe -l
perf_bpf_probe:fork (on _do_fork@acme/git/linux/kernel/fork.c)
We also can use debugfs:
[root@felicio ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:perf_bpf_probe/fork _text+638512
Ok, now lets stop and see if we got some forks:
[root@felicio linux]# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.325 MB perf.data (111 samples) ]
[root@felicio linux]# perf script
sshd 1271 [003] 81797.507678: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)
sshd 18309 [000] 81797.524917: perf_bpf_probe:fork: (ffffffff8109be30)

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

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:

I am testing using a script I built from the 'perf test -v LLVM' output:

Now, with "__attribute__((section("fork=_do_fork"), used)):

$ 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:
Using it:
$ ls -la foo.o
ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory
$ perf record --event foo.o sleep

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
instructions: size: 112, config: 0x1, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|ID|CPU|PERIOD, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, freq: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 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.

Some tools have a lot of options, so, providing a way to show help just
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 --
--asm-raw --demangle-kernel --group
--kallsyms --pretty --stdio

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 :-)

The root cause is that cpu_map__build_map set refcnt of evlist's cpu_map

cpu_map.
