perf build: Allow customization of clang options for BPF target

2023-08-23T18:33:18+00:00

This also puts an unconditional -Werror under control of WERROR. The
clang includes added during the build can lead to a warning that may be
turned into an error. In addition, hardened clang produces a warning
about lack of support for -fstack-protector* options for the BPF target:

  clang -g -O2 -target bpf -Wall -Werror -Ilinux/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/.. \
    -I -idirafter /usr/lib/llvm/16/bin/../../../../lib/clang/16/include -idirafter /usr/local/include \

perf dlfilter: Add al_cleanup()

2023-08-15T19:41:49+00:00

Add perf_dlfilter_fns.al_cleanup() to do addr_location__exit() on data
passed via perf_dlfilter_fns.resolve_address().

Add dlfilter-test-api-v2 to the "dlfilter C API" test to test it.

Update documentation, clarifying that data returned by APIs should not
be dereferenced after filter_event() and filter_event_early() return.

perf bpf examples: With no BPF events remove examples

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

The examples were used to give demonstrations of BPF events but such
functionality is now subsumed by using --filter with 'perf record' or
the direct use of BPF skeletons.

perf trace: Migrate BPF augmentation to use a skeleton

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

Previously a BPF event of augmented_raw_syscalls.c could be used to
enable augmentation of syscalls by perf trace. As BPF events are no
longer supported, switch to using a BPF skeleton which when attached
explicitly opens the sysenter and sysexit tracepoints.

The dump map is removed as debugging wasn't supported by the
augmentation and bpf_printk can be used when necessary.

Remove tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c so that the
rename/migration to a BPF skeleton captures that this was the source.

Committer notes:

Some minor stylistic changes to help visualizing the diff.

Use libbpf_strerror when failing to load the augmented raw syscalls BPF.

Use  bpf_object__for_each_program(prog, trace.skel->obj) to disable auto
attachment for all but the sys_enter, sys_exit tracepoints, to avoid
having to add extra lines as we go adding support for more pointer
receiving syscalls.

perf bpf: Remove support for embedding clang for compiling BPF events (-e foo.c)

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

This never was in the default build for perf, is difficult to maintain
as it uses clang/llvm internals so ditch it, keeping, for now, the
external compilation of .c BPF into .o bytecode and its subsequent
loading, that is also going to be removed, do it separately to help
bisection and to properly document what is being removed and why.

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch and removed some leftovers, namely
deleting these now unused feature tests:

    tools/build/feature/test-clang.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-cxx.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-llvm-version.cpp
    tools/build/feature/test-llvm.cpp

Testing the use of BPF events after applying this patch:

To use the external clang/llvm toolchain to compile a .c event and then
use libbpf to load it, to get the syscalls:sys_enter_open* tracepoints
and read the filename pointer, putting it into the ring buffer right
after the usual tracepoint payload for 'perf trace' to then print it:

perf build: Support llvm and clang support compiled in

2023-08-03T20:01:28+00:00

Perf build suports llvm and clang support compiled in.
Test case 56 builtin clang support provides a test case
which is always skipped.

Link perf with the latest llvm and clang libraries and
enable this test case.

Use 'make LIBCLANGLLVM=1' to include this support.

V2: Add Library patch before -lclang-cpp

Output before:

  # ./perf test 56
  56: builtin clang support                  :
  56.1: builtin clang compile C source to IR : Skip (not compiled in)
  56.2: builtin clang compile C source to ELF object: Skip (not compiled in)

Output after:

  # ./perf test 56
  56: builtin clang support                          :
  56.1: builtin clang compile C source to IR         : Ok
  56.2: builtin clang compile C source to ELF object : Ok
  #

From Ian Rogers:

  Build tested with LLVM 14 and 15 using:
  BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 LIBCLANGLLVM=1 LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-14
  BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 LIBCLANGLLVM=1 LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-15

perf bench uprobe empty: Add entry attaching an empty BPF program

2023-07-20T14:33:02+00:00

perf: Replace deprecated -target with --target= for Clang

2023-06-27T19:13:22+00:00

-target has been deprecated since Clang 3.4 in 2013. Use the preferred
--target=bpf form instead. This matches how we use --target= in
scripts/Makefile.clang.

perf build: Filter out BTF sources without a .BTF section

2023-06-24T04:35:46+00:00

If generating vmlinux.h, make the code to generate it more tolerant by
filtering out paths to kernels that lack a .BTF section.

perf build: Add ability to build with a generated vmlinux.h

2023-06-24T04:35:45+00:00

Commit a887466562b4 ("perf bpf skels: Stop using vmlinux.h generated
from BTF, use subset of used structs + CO-RE") made it so that
vmlinux.h was uncondtionally included from
tools/perf/util/vmlinux.h. This change reverts part of that change (so
that vmlinux.h is once again generated) and makes it so that the
vmlinux.h used at build time is selected from the VMLINUX_H
variable. By default the VMLINUX_H variable is set to the vmlinux.h
added in change a887466562b4, but if GEN_VMLINUX_H=1 is passed on the
build command line then the previous generation behavior kicks in.

The build with GEN_VMLINUX_H=1 currently fails with:

    util/bpf_skel/lock_contention.bpf.c:419:8: error: redefinition of 'rq'
    struct rq {};
           ^
    /tmp/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/../vmlinux.h:45630:8: note: previous definition is here
    struct rq {
           ^
    1 error generated.
