The previous method, copying to the BPF stack limited us in how many
bytes we could copy from strings, use a PERCPU_ARRAY map like devised by
the sysdig guys[1] to copy more bytes:

Before:

  # trace --no-inherit -e openat touch `python -c "print "$s" 'a' * 2000"`
  touch: cannot touch 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa': File name too long
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_WRONLY, S_IRUGO|S_IWUGO) = -1 ENAMETOOLONG (File name too long)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  &lt;SNIP some openat calls&gt;
  #

After:

  [root@quaco acme]# trace --no-inherit -e openat touch `python -c "print "$s" 'a' * 2000"`
  &lt;STRIP what is the same as in the 'before' part&gt;
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOC) = -1 ENAMETOOLONG (File name too long)
  &lt;STRIP what is the same as in the 'before' part&gt;

If we leave something like 'perf trace -e string' to trace all syscalls
with a string, and then do some 'perf top', to get some annotation for
the augmented_raw_syscalls.o BPF program we get:

       │     → callq  *ffffffffc45576d1                                                                                                          ▒
       │                augmented_args-&gt;filename.size = probe_read_str(&amp;augmented_args-&gt;filename.value,                                          ▒
  0.05 │       mov    %eax,0x40(%r13)

Looking with pahole, expanding types, asking for hex offsets and sizes,
and use of BTF type information to see what is at that 0x40 offset from
%r13:

  # pahole -F btf -C augmented_args_filename --expand_types --hex /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  struct augmented_args_filename {
	struct syscall_enter_args {
		long long unsigned int common_tp_fields;                                 /*     0   0x8 */
		long int           syscall_nr;                                           /*   0x8   0x8 */
		long unsigned int  args[6];                                              /*  0x10  0x30 */
	} args; /*     0  0x40 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	struct augmented_filename {
		unsigned int       size;                                                 /*  0x40   0x4 */
		int                reserved;                                             /*  0x44   0x4 */
		char               value[4096];                                          /*  0x48 0x1000 */
	} filename; /*  0x40 0x1008 */

	/* size: 4168, cachelines: 66, members: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
  };
  #

Then looking if PATH_MAX leaves some signature in the tests:

       │                if (augmented_args-&gt;filename.size &lt; sizeof(augmented_args-&gt;filename.value)) {                                            ▒
       │       cmp    $0xfff,%rdi

0xfff == 4095
sizeof(augmented_args-&gt;filename.value) == PATH_MAX == 4096

Gets the augmented_raw_syscalls a bit more useful as-is, add a comment
stating that the intent is to have all this in a map populated by
userspace via the 'syscalls' BPF map, that right now has only a flag
stating if the syscall is filtered or not.

With it:

annotation to be done transparently.

<title>perf: Make perf_event_output() propagate the output() return</title>

For the original mode of operation it isn't needed, since we report back
errors via PERF_RECORD_LOST records in the ring buffer, but for use in
bpf_perf_event_output() it is convenient to return the errors, basically
-ENOSPC.

Currently bpf_perf_event_output() returns an error indication, the last
thing it does, which is to push it to the ring buffer is that can fail
and if so, this failure won't be reported back to its users, fix it.

This will all come from userspace, but to test the changes to make 'perf
trace' output similar to strace's, do this one more now manually.

To update the precompiled augmented_raw_syscalls.o binary I just run:

  # perf record -e ~acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c sleep 1
  LLVM: dumping /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB perf.data ]
  #

Because to have augmented_raw_syscalls to be always used and a fast
startup and remove the need to have the llvm toolchain installed, I'm
using:

  # perf config | grep add_events
  trace.add_events=/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  #

So when doing changes to augmented_raw_syscals.c one needs to rebuild
the .o file.

This will be done automagically later, i.e. have a 'make' behaviour of
recompiling when the .c gets changed.

We're not using that puts() thing, and thus we don't need to define the
__bpf_stdout__ map, reducing the setup time.

<title>perf augmented_syscalls: Switch to using a struct for the syscalls map values</title>

We'll start adding more perf-syscall stuff, so lets do this prep step so
that the next ones are just about adding more fields.

Run it with the .c file once to cache the .o file:

  # trace --filter-pids 2834,2199 -e openat,augmented_raw_syscalls.c
  LLVM: dumping augmented_raw_syscalls.o
       0.000 ( 0.021 ms): tmux: server/4952 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/5691/cmdline                         ) = 11
     349.807 ( 0.040 ms): DNS Res~er #39/11082 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/hosts, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 44
    4988.759 ( 0.052 ms): gsd-color/2431 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/localtime                             ) = 18
    4988.976 ( 0.029 ms): gsd-color/2431 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/localtime                             ) = 18
  ^C[root@quaco bpf]#

From now on, we can use just the newly built .o file, skipping the
compilation step for a faster startup:

  # trace --filter-pids 2834,2199 -e openat,augmented_raw_syscalls.o
       0.000 ( 0.046 ms): DNS Res~er #39/11088 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/hosts, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 44
    1946.408 ( 0.190 ms): systemd/1 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/1071/cgroup, flags: CLOEXEC          ) = 20
    1946.792 ( 0.215 ms): systemd/1 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/954/cgroup, flags: CLOEXEC           ) = 20
  ^C#

Now on to do the same in the builtin-trace.c side of things.

Just another map, this time an BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY, stating with
one bool per syscall, stating if it should be filtered or not.

So, with a pre-built augmented_raw_syscalls.o file, we use:

  # perf trace -e open*,augmented_raw_syscalls.o
     0.000 ( 0.016 ms): DNS Res~er #37/29652 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/hosts, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 138
   187.039 ( 0.048 ms): gsd-housekeepi/2436 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/fstab, flags: CLOEXEC                 ) = 11
   187.348 ( 0.041 ms): gsd-housekeepi/2436 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/mountinfo, flags: CLOEXEC       ) = 11
   188.793 ( 0.036 ms): gsd-housekeepi/2436 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/mountinfo, flags: CLOEXEC       ) = 11
   189.803 ( 0.029 ms): gsd-housekeepi/2436 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/mountinfo, flags: CLOEXEC       ) = 11
   190.774 ( 0.027 ms): gsd-housekeepi/2436 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /proc/self/mountinfo, flags: CLOEXEC       ) = 11
   284.620 ( 0.149 ms): DataStorage/3076 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /home/acme/.mozilla/firefox/ina67tev.default/SiteSecurityServiceState.txt, flags: CREAT|TRUNC|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUSR|IWGRP) = 167
  ^C#

What is it that this gsd-housekeeping thingy needs to open
/proc/self/mountinfo four times periodically? :-)

This map will be extended to tell per-syscall parameters, i.e. how many
bytes to copy per arg, using the function signature to get the types and
then the size of those types, via BTF.

<title>Revert "perf augmented_syscalls: Drop 'write', 'poll' for testing without self pid filter"</title>

Now that we have the "filtered_pids" logic in place, no need to do this
rough filter to avoid the feedback loop from 'perf trace's own syscalls,
revert it.

This reverts commit 7ed71f124284359676b6496ae7db724fee9da753.

<title>perf augmented_syscalls: Remove example hardcoded set of filtered pids</title>

Now that 'perf trace' fills in that "filtered_pids" BPF map, remove the
set of filtered pids used as an example to test that feature.

That feature works like this:

Starting a system wide 'strace' like 'perf trace' augmented session we
noticed that lots of events take place for a pid, which ends up being
the feedback loop of perf trace's syscalls being processed by the
'gnome-terminal' process:

  # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
     0.391 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17&lt;/dev/ptmx&gt;, buf: 0x564b79f750bc, count: 8176) = 453
     0.394 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17&lt;/dev/ptmx&gt;, buf: 0x564b79f75280, count: 7724) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
     0.438 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 4&lt;anon_inode:[eventfd]&gt;, buf: 0x7fffc696aeb0, count: 16) = 8
     0.519 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17&lt;/dev/ptmx&gt;, buf: 0x564b79f75280, count: 7724) = 114
     0.522 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17&lt;/dev/ptmx&gt;, buf: 0x564b79f752f1, count: 7611) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
  ^C

So we can use --filter-pids to get rid of that one, and in this case what is
being used to implement that functionality is that "filtered_pids" BPF map that
the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c created and that 'perf trace'
bpf loader noticed and created a "struct bpf_map" associated that then got populated
by 'perf trace':

  # perf trace --filter-pids 2469 -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
     0.020 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-shell/1663 epoll_pwait(epfd: 12&lt;anon_inode:[eventpoll]&gt;, events: 0x7ffd8f3ef960, maxevents: 32, sigsetsize: 8) = 1
     0.025 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-shell/1663 read(fd: 24&lt;/dev/input/event4&gt;, buf: 0x560c01bb8240, count: 8112) = 48
     0.029 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-shell/1663 read(fd: 24&lt;/dev/input/event4&gt;, buf: 0x560c01bb8258, count: 8088) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable

    21.533 ( 0.004 ms): gnome-shell/1663 recvmsg(fd: 82&lt;socket:[42826]&gt;, msg: 0x7ffd8f3ef7b0, flags: DONTWAIT|CMSG_CLOEXEC) = 236

  ^C

Oops, yet another gnome process that is involved with the output that
'perf trace' generates, lets filter that out too:

  # perf trace --filter-pids 2469,1663 -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c

Several syscall exit events for syscalls in flight when 'perf trace' started, etc. Saner :-)
