perf tools: Pass build flags to traceevent build

2018-10-16T17:57:59+00:00

So the extra user build flags are propagated to libtraceevent.

perf tools: Streamline bpf examples and headers installation

2018-08-30T17:49:25+00:00

We were emitting 4 lines, two of them misleading:

  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
  
    INSTALL  lib
    INSTALL  include/bpf
    INSTALL  lib
    INSTALL  examples/bpf
  
  make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'

Make it more compact by showing just two lines:

  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    INSTALL  bpf-headers
    INSTALL  bpf-examples
  make: Leaving directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'

perf trace beauty: Add beautifiers for 'socket''s 'protocol' arg

2018-07-31T13:52:47+00:00

It'll be wired to 'perf trace' in the next cset.

perf bpf: Fixup include and examples install messages

2018-05-19T09:42:50+00:00

Before:

  INSTALL  lib
install include/bpf/*.h '/home/acme/lib/include/perf/bpf'
  INSTALL  lib
install examples/bpf/*.c '/home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf'

After:

  INSTALL  lib

perf bpf: Add bpf.h to be used in eBPF proggies

2018-05-15T17:31:23+00:00

So, the first helper is the one shortening a variable/function section
attribute, from, for instance:

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";

to:

  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";

Convert empty.c to that and it becomes:

  # cat ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c
  #include 

  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  #

perf bpf: Add 'examples' directories

2018-05-15T17:31:23+00:00

The first one is the bare minimum that bpf infrastructure accepts before
it expects actual events to be set up:

  $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  $

If you remove that "version" line, then it will be refused with:

  # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
  event syntax error: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c'
                       \___ Failed to load tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost

  (add -v to see detail)
  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
  #

The next ones will, step by step, show simple filters, then the needs
for headers will be made clear, it will be put in place and tested with
new examples, rinse, repeat.

Back to using this first one to test the perf+bpf infrastructure:

If we run it will fail, as no functions are present connecting with,
say, a tracepoint or a function using the kprobes or uprobes
infrastructure:

  # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
  WARNING: event parser found nothing
  invalid or unsupported event: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c'
  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
  #

But, if we set things up to dump the generated object file to a file,
and do this after having run 'make install', still on the developer's
$HOME directory:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]

	dump-obj = true
  #
  # perf trace -e ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c
  LLVM: dumping /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o
  WARNING: event parser found nothing
  invalid or unsupported event: '/home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c'
  
  #

We can look at the dumped object file:

  # ls -la ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 576 May  4 12:10 /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o

perf llvm-utils: Add bpf include path to clang command line

2018-05-15T17:31:17+00:00

We'll start putting headers for helpers to be used in eBPF proggies in
there:

perf tools: Fix perf builds with clang support

2018-04-09T14:13:07+00:00

For libclang, some distro packages provide static libraries (.a) while
some provide shared libraries (.so). Currently, perf code can only be
linked with static libraries. This makes perf build possible for both
cases.
