tools lib: Move bitmap.[ch] from tools/perf/ to tools/{lib,include}/

2016-01-08T15:35:46+00:00

So that lib/find_bit.c doesn't requires anything inside tools/perf/

tools lib: Move find_next_bit.c to tools/lib/

2016-01-08T15:35:35+00:00

The commit that introduced it should've moved it to the same place, plus
the 'tools/' prefix, but instead moved it to a bogus tools/lib/util/
directory, being the only file there.

Move it to tools/lib/find_bit.c, picking the name for the file where
these routines live since:

 8f6f19dd5143 ("lib: move find_last_bit to lib/find_next_bit.c")

Next step is to make tools/lib/find_bit.c to differ from lib/find_bit.c
just in removing what is not used by tools/.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf tools: Provide subcmd configuration at runtime

2015-12-16T19:18:16+00:00

Create init functions for exec_cmd.c and pager.c.  This allows their
configuration to be specified at runtime so they can be split out into a
separate library which can be used by other programs.  Their
configuration is stored in a shared subcmd_config struct.

perf tools: Move help_unknown_cmd() to its own file

2015-12-14T15:30:37+00:00

help_unknown_cmd() is quite perf-specific because it relies on some
perf_config*() functions.  Move it and its supporting functions out into
a separate file so that help.c can be moved to a library.

perf bpf: Add prologue for BPF programs for fetching arguments

2015-11-18T20:51:04+00:00

This patch generates a prologue for a BPF program which fetches arguments for
it.  With this patch, the program can have arguments as follow:

  SEC("lock_page=__lock_page page->flags")
  int lock_page(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
  {
 	 return 1;
  }

This patch passes at most 3 arguments from r3, r4 and r5. r1 is still the ctx
pointer. r2 is used to indicate if dereferencing was done successfully.

This patch uses r6 to hold ctx (struct pt_regs) and r7 to hold stack pointer
for result. Result of each arguments first store on stack:

 low address
 BPF_REG_FP - 24  ARG3
 BPF_REG_FP - 16  ARG2
 BPF_REG_FP - 8   ARG1
 BPF_REG_FP
 high address

Then loaded into r3, r4 and r5.

The output prologue for offn(...off2(off1(reg)))) should be:

     r6 <- r1			// save ctx into a callee saved register
     r7 <- fp
     r7 <- r7 - stack_offset	// pointer to result slot
     /* load r3 with the offset in pt_regs of 'reg' */
     (r7) <- r3			// make slot valid
     r3 <- r3 + off1		// prepare to read unsafe pointer
     r2 <- 8
     r1 <- r7			// result put onto stack
     call probe_read		// read unsafe pointer
     jnei r0, 0, err		// error checking
     r3 <- (r7)			// read result
     r3 <- r3 + off2		// prepare to read unsafe pointer
     r2 <- 8
     r1 <- r7
     call probe_read
     jnei r0, 0, err
     ...
     /* load r2, r3, r4 from stack */
     goto success
err:
     r2 <- 1
     /* load r3, r4, r5 with 0 */
     goto usercode
success:
     r2 <- 0
usercode:
     r1 <- r6	// restore ctx
     // original user code

If all of arguments reside in register (dereferencing is not
required), gen_prologue_fastpath() will be used to create
fast prologue:

     r3 <- (r1 + offset of reg1)
     r4 <- (r1 + offset of reg2)
     r5 <- (r1 + offset of reg3)
     r2 <- 0

P.S.

eBPF calling convention is defined as:

* r0		- return value from in-kernel function, and exit value
                  for eBPF program
* r1 - r5	- arguments from eBPF program to in-kernel function
* r6 - r9	- callee saved registers that in-kernel function will
                  preserve
* r10		- read-only frame pointer to access stack

Committer note:

At least testing if it builds and loads:

  # cat test_probe_arg.c
  struct pt_regs;

  __attribute__((section("lock_page=__lock_page page->flags"), used))
  int func(struct pt_regs *ctx, int err, unsigned long flags)
  {
  	return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
  # perf record -e ./test_probe_arg.c usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist
  perf_bpf_probe:lock_page

tools: Adopt memdup() from tools/perf, moving it to tools/lib/string.c

That will contain more string functions with counterparts, sometimes
verbatim copies, in the kernel.

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

2015-10-28T15:48:12+00:00

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
  libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory
  event syntax error: 'foo.o'
                       \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

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

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

  $ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o
  /tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
  $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep
  libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file
  event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o'
                       \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

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

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

  $ file /tmp/foo.o
  /tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
  $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
  $ perf evlist
  /tmp/foo.o
  $ perf evlist  -v
  /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1

So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok.
