perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support

2023-08-15T19:41:48+00:00

New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the
BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit
fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF
map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix
libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well
maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event
parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as
in paths.

This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then
the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole
source files like bpf-loader.c.  Removing support means that augmented
syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit
adding support using BPF skeletons.

The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex
generated code, so update build to ignore it:

  ```
  util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
  2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */
  ```

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for
linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an
external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF
bytecode.

Testing it:

  # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
  event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
                        \___ Bad event or PMU

  Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home'

  Initial error:
  event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
                        \___ Cannot find PMU `home'. Missing kernel support?
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [] []
      or: perf trace [] --  []
      or: perf trace record [] []
      or: perf trace record [] --  []

      -e, --event    event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

perf: Stop using bpf_object__open_buffer() API

2022-01-25T04:44:09+00:00

bpf_object__open_buffer() API is deprecated, use the unified opts
bpf_object__open_mem() API in perf instead. This requires at least
libbpf 0.0.6.

perf test: Remove skip_if_fail

2021-11-13T21:11:50+00:00

Remove optionality, always run tests in a suite even if one fails. This
brings perf's test more inline with kunit that lacks this notion.

perf test: Move each test suite struct to its test

2021-11-13T13:30:58+00:00

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a
suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions.

Committer notes:

Its '&suite__vectors_page', not '&suite__vectors_pages', noticed when
cross building to arm (32-bit).

perf tools: Fix LLVM test failure when running in verbose mode

2021-08-31T18:17:45+00:00

A CI system might want to run all tests in verbose mode so that there is
enough information to diagnose issues. This LLVM test is the only test
that uses "-v" to signify to not skip the test if the preconditions
aren't met (LLVM isn't installed). This means that running the test in
verbose mode without LLVM installed causes a test failure.

For consistency with the other tests, remove this verbose/skip check. An
alternate solution would be to make _all_ tests not skip when run in
verbose mode, but I don't think that would be intuitive.

Also change the search_program() call to search_program_and_warn().
Previously the hint about installing LLVM was only printed by the actual
test because this check was skipped in verbose mode. To maintain the old
behaviour, the precondition check must also print the full warning.

Previous output:

  $ ./perf test llvm
  40: LLVM search and compile                                     :
  40.1: Basic BPF llvm compile                                    : Skip

  $ ./perf test -v llvm
  40: LLVM search and compile                                     :
  40.1: Basic BPF llvm compile                                    :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 2085835
  ERROR:	unable to find clang.
  Hint:	Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF. Check your $PATH
  ...
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  LLVM search and compile subtest 1: FAILED!

New output (non verbose mode is identical, verbose changes from fail to
skip):

  $ ./perf test llvm
  40: LLVM search and compile                                     :

If either NO_LIBBPF=1 is passed, explicitely disabling it or if libbpf
is not available due to some missing dependency, skip its tests, telling
the user the feature isn't available.

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

Remove the last unneeded use of cache.h in a header, we can check where
it is really needed, i.e. we can remove it and be sure that it isn't
being obtained indirectly.

This is an old file, used by now incorrectly in many places, so it was
providing includes needed indirectly, fixup this fallout.
