The return type is not defined, so it defaults to int, however, the
function is not returning anything, so this is clearly not correct. Make
it a void function.

<title>perf tools: Fix parsing of pmu events with empty list of modifiers</title>

In 1d55e8ef340d ("perf tools: Introduce opt_event_config nonterminal") I
removed the unconditional "'/' '/'" for pmu events such as
"intel_pt//" but forgot to use opt_event_config where it expected some
event_config, oops. Fix it.

Noticed when trying to use:

  # perf record -e intel_pt// -a sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'intel_pt//'
                               \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

<id>urn:sha1:e571e029bdbf59f485fe67740b7a4ef421e1d55d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new syntax to perf event parser:

 # perf record -e './test_bpf_map_3.c/map:channel.value[0,1,2,3...5]=101/' usleep 2

By utilizing the basic facilities in bpf-loader.c which allow setting
different slots in a BPF map separately, the newly introduced syntax
allows perf to control specific elements in a BPF map.

Test result:

  # cat ./test_bpf_map_3.c
  /************************ BEGIN **************************/
  #include &lt;uapi/linux/bpf.h&gt;
  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
  struct bpf_map_def {
	unsigned int type;
	unsigned int key_size;
	unsigned int value_size;
	unsigned int max_entries;
  };
  static void *(*map_lookup_elem)(struct bpf_map_def *, void *) =
 	(void *)BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem;
  static int (*trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) =
 	(void *)BPF_FUNC_trace_printk;
  struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") channel = {
 	.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
 	.key_size = sizeof(int),
 	.value_size = sizeof(unsigned char),
 	.max_entries = 100,
  };
  SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp-&gt;tv_nsec")
  int func(void *ctx, int err, long nsec)
  {
 	char fmt[] = "%ld\n";
 	long usec = nsec * 0x10624dd3 &gt;&gt; 38; // nsec / 1000
 	int key = (int)usec;
 	unsigned char *pval = map_lookup_elem(&amp;channel, &amp;key);

 	if (!pval)
 		return 0;
 	trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), (unsigned char)*pval);
 	return 0;
  }
  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;

<id>urn:sha1:a34f3be70cdf986850552e62b9f22d659bfbcef3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the final step for BPF map configuration. A new syntax
is appended into parser so user can config BPF objects through '/' '/'
enclosed config terms.

After this patch, following syntax is available:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_map_1.c/map:channel.value=10/ ...

It would takes effect after appling following commits.

Test result:

  # cat ./test_bpf_map_1.c

  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))

      char fmt[] = "%d\n";
      int *pval = map_lookup_elem(&amp;channel, &amp;key);
      if (!pval)
          return 0;
      trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), *pval);
      return 0;

<content type='text'>
This patch allows setting config terms for legacy cache events.
For example:

  # perf stat -e L1-icache-misses/name=valA/ -e branches/name=valB/ ls
  ...
   Performance counter stats for 'ls':

              11299      valA
             451605      valB

        0.000779091 seconds time elapsed

  # perf record -e cache-misses/name=inh/ -e cache-misses/name=noinh,no-inherit/ bash
  # ls
  # exit
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (131 samples) ]
  # perf report --stdio | grep -B 1 'Event count'
  # Samples: 105  of event 'inh'
  # Event count (approx.): 109118
  --
  # Samples: 26  of event 'noinh'
  # Event count (approx.): 48302

A test case is introduced to test this feature.

<id>urn:sha1:10bf358a1b79fa1311eb05ee31f2cefdcad01741</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch allows setting config terms for raw and numeric events.
For example:

  # perf stat -e cycles/name=cyc/ ls
  ...
  1821108      cyc
  ...

  # perf stat -e r6530160/name=event/ ls
  ...
  1103195      event
  ...

  # perf record -e cycles -e 4:0x6530160/name=evtx,call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1
  ...
  # perf report --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 124  of event 'cycles'
  46.61%     0.00%  swapper        [kernel.vmlinux]            [k] cpu_startup_entry
  41.26%     0.00%  swapper        [kernel.vmlinux]            [k] start_secondary
  ...
  # Samples: 91  of event 'evtx'
  ...
  93.76%     0.00%  swapper      [kernel.vmlinux]            [k] cpu_startup_entry
          |
          ---cpu_startup_entry
             |
             |--66.63%--call_cpuidle
             |          cpuidle_enter
             |          |
  ...

3 test cases are introduced to test config terms for symbol, raw and
numeric events.

Committer note:

Further testing shows that we can retrieve the event name using 'perf
evlist -v' and looking at the 'config' perf_event_attr field, i.e.:

  # perf record -e cycles -e 4:0x6530160/name=evtx,call-graph=fp/ -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.724 MB perf.data (2076 samples) ]
  # perf evlist
  cycles
  evtx

<id>urn:sha1:1d55e8ef340dad1ccd5aaf53071de41fc3d8dba4</id>
<content type='text'>
To remove duplicated code that differs only in using the matching
'/a,b,c/' part or NULL if no event configuration is done ('//' or no
pair of slashes at all).

Will be used by some new targets allowing the configuration of hardware
events, etc.

Lifted part of the 'opt_event_config' nonterminal from a patch by Wang
Nan.

To follow convention used in other tools/perf/ areas. Also remove the
need to check if it is NULL before calling the destructor, again, to
follow convention that goes back to free().

<title>perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d509db0473e40134286271b1d1adadccf42ac467</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

<title>perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event</title>
<updated>2015-10-28T15:48:12+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/BMC/Intel-BMC/linux.git/commit/?id=84c86ca12b2189df751eed7b2d67cb63bc8feda5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:84c86ca12b2189df751eed7b2d67cb63bc8feda5</id>
<content type='text'>
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 [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   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 [&lt;options&gt;] [&lt;command&gt;]
      or: perf record [&lt;options&gt;] -- &lt;command&gt; [&lt;options&gt;]

      -e, --event &lt;event&gt;   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.

  $ perf report --stdio
  Error:
  The perf.data file has no samples!
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
