tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to uprobes

2015-08-06T18:29:14+00:00

By copying BPF related operation to uprobe processing path, this patch allow users attach BPF programs to uprobes like what they are already doing on kprobes. After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a uprobe perf event. Which make it possible to profile user space programs and kernel events together using BPF. Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT to ensure trace_call_bpf() is compiled even if KPROBE_EVENT is not set.

bpf: Use correct #ifdef controller for trace_call_bpf()

2015-08-06T18:27:37+00:00

Commit e1abf2cc8d5d80b41c4419368ec743ccadbb131e ("bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more configurable") updated the building condition of bpf_trace.o from CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL to CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS, but the corresponding #ifdef controller in trace_events.h for trace_call_bpf() was not changed. Which, in theory, is incorrect. With current Kconfigs, we can create a .config with CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y and CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=n by unselecting CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT and selecting CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL. With these options, trace_call_bpf() will be defined as an extern function, but if anyone calls it a symbol missing error will be triggered since bpf_trace.o was not built. This patch changes the #ifdef controller for trace_call_bpf() from CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL to CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS. I'll show its correctness: Before this patch: BPF_SYSCALL BPF_EVENTS trace_call_bpf bpf_trace.o y y normal compiled n n inline not compiled y n normal not compiled (incorrect) n y impossible (BPF_EVENTS depends on BPF_SYSCALL) After this patch: BPF_SYSCALL BPF_EVENTS trace_call_bpf bpf_trace.o y y normal compiled n n inline not compiled y n inline not compiled (fixed) n y impossible (BPF_EVENTS depends on BPF_SYSCALL) So this patch doesn't break anything. QED.

tracing: Rename ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() to trace_trigger_soft_disabled()

2015-05-13T19:25:39+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() tests if a trace_event is soft disabled (called but not traced), and returns true if it is. It has nothing to do with function tracing and should be renamed.

tracing: Rename FTRACE_EVENT_FL_* flags to EVENT_FILE_FL_*

2015-05-13T19:24:57+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The FTRACE_EVENT_FL_* flags are flags to do with the trace_event files in the tracefs directory. They are not related to function tracing. Rename them to a more descriptive name. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Rename struct ftrace_subsystem_dir to trace_subsystem_dir

2015-05-13T18:59:40+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The structure ftrace_subsystem_dir holds the information about trace event subsystems. It should not be named ftrace, rename it to trace_subsystem_dir. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Rename ftrace_event_name() to trace_event_name()

2015-05-13T18:20:14+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. ftrace_event_name() returns the name of an event tracepoint, has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it to trace_event_name(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Rename FTRACE_MAX_EVENT to TRACE_EVENT_TYPE_MAX

2015-05-13T18:06:42+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. Rename the max trace_event type size to something more descriptive and appropriate. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Rename ftrace_output functions to trace_output

2015-05-13T18:06:41+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_output_*() and ftrace_raw_output_*() functions represent the trace_event code. Rename them to just trace_output or trace_raw_output. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Rename ftrace_event_buffer to trace_event_buffer.

2015-05-13T18:06:36+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_event_buffer functions and data structures are for trace_events and not for function hooks. Rename them to trace_event_buffer*. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Rename ftrace_event_{call,class} to trace_event_{call,class}

2015-05-13T18:06:10+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The structures ftrace_event_call and ftrace_event_class have nothing to do with the function hooks, and are really trace_event structures. Rename ftrace_event_* to trace_event_*.
