perf tools: Save bpf_prog_info and BTF of new BPF programs

2019-03-21T14:27:04+00:00

To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different
information are needed:

    1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
    2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
    3) bpf_prog_info
    4) btf

This patch handles 3) and 4) for BPF programs loaded after 'perf
record|top'.

For timely process of these information, a dedicated event is added to
the side band evlist.

When PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is received via the side band event, the
polling thread gathers 3) and 4) vis sys_bpf and store them in perf_env.

This information is saved to perf.data at the end of 'perf record'.

Committer testing:

The 'wakeup_watermark' member in 'struct perf_event_attr' is inside a
unnamed union, so can't be used in a struct designated initialization
with older gccs, get it out of that, isolating as 'attr.wakeup_watermark
= 1;' to work with all gcc versions.

We also need to add '--no-bpf-event' to the 'perf record'
perf_event_attr tests in 'perf test', as the way that that test goes is
to intercept the events being setup and looking if they match the fields
described in the control files, since now it finds first the side band
event used to catch the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, they all fail.

With these issues fixed:

Same scenario as for testing BPF programs loaded before 'perf record' or
'perf top' starts, only start the BPF programs after 'perf record|top',
so that its information get collected by the sideband threads, the rest
works as for the programs loaded before start monitoring.

Add missing 'inline' to the bpf_event__add_sb_event() when
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined, fixing the build in systems without
binutils devel files installed.

perf tools: Fix crash on synthesizing the unit

2018-11-12T16:37:49+00:00

Adam reported a record command crash for simple session like:

  $ perf record -e cpu-clock ls

with following backtrace:

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  3543            ev = event_update_event__new(size + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__UNIT, evsel->id[0]);
  (gdb) bt
  #0  perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit
  #1  0x000000000051e469 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr
  #2  0x00000000004445cb in record__synthesize
  #3  0x0000000000444bc5 in __cmd_record
  ...

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array,
which is not defined at that time. Fix this by forcing the id allocation
for events with their unit defined.

Reflecting possible read_format ID bit in the attr tests.

perf tools: Do not zero sample_id_all for group members

2018-11-06T11:29:56+00:00

Andi reported following malfunction:

  # perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}:S' -a sleep 1
  # perf script
  non matching sample_id_all

That's because we disable sample_id_all bit for non-sampling group
members. We can't do that, because it needs to be the same over the
whole event list. This patch keeps it untouched again.

perf evsel: Disable write_backward for leader sampling group events

2018-04-23T14:21:56+00:00

.. and other related fields that do not need to be enabled
for events that have sampling leader.

It fixes the perf top usage Ingo reported broken:

  # perf top -e '{cycles,msr/aperf/}:S'

The 'msr/aperf/' event is configured for write_back sampling, which is
not allowed by the MSR PMU, so it fails to create the event.

Adjusting related attr test.

We started to use group read whenever it's possible:

That breaks some of attr tests, this change adds the new possible
read_format value.

perf tests attr: Add optional term

2017-07-19T02:14:22+00:00

Some of the stat events are quite rare to find on common machines (like
front end cycles).

Adding an 'optional' term to mark such events in attr tests. Event
marked as optional will not fail the test case if it's not found in
results.
