commit 8a55c1e2c9e123b399b272a7db23f09dbb74af21 upstream.

It finds all occurrences of a single character and replaces them with
a multi character string. This will be used in a test in a following
commit.

<title>perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support</title>
<updated>2023-08-15T19:41:48+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=3d6dfae889174340af94c7357c8bae018966c524'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3d6dfae889174340af94c7357c8bae018966c524</id>
<content type='text'>
New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the
BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit
fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF
map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix
libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well
maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event
parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as
in paths.

This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then
the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole
source files like bpf-loader.c.  Removing support means that augmented
syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit
adding support using BPF skeletons.

The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex
generated code, so update build to ignore it:

  ```
  util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label]
  2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */
  ```

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for
linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an
external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF
bytecode.

Testing it:

  # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
  event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
                        \___ Bad event or PMU

  Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home'

  Initial error:
  event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c'
                        \___ Cannot find PMU `home'. Missing kernel support?
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

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

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

supported CPUs with user requested.

<title>perf test: Add Symbols test</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1b69346e7a0bd18a9c3b00bdd6219d4d8ad73466</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a test to check function symbols do not overlap and are not zero
length.

The main motivation for the test is to make it easier to review changes
to PLT symbol synthesis i.e. changes to dso__synthesize_plt_symbols().

By default the test uses the perf executable as a test DSO, but a
specific DSO can be specified via a new perf test option "--dso".

The test is useful in the following ways:

 - Any DSO can be tested, even ones that do not run on the current
 architecture. For example, using cross-compiled DSOs to see how
 well perf handles different architectures.

 - With verbose &gt; 1 (e.g. -vv), all the symbols are printed, which
 makes it easier to see issues.

 - perf removes duplicate symbols and expands zero-length symbols
 to reach the next symbol, however that is done before adding
 synthesized symbols, so the test is checking those also.

Example:

  $ perf test -v Symbols
   74: Symbols                                                         :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 154918
  Testing /home/user/bin/perf
  Overlapping symbols:
   7d000-7f3a0 g _init
   7d030-7d040 g __printf_chk@plt
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Symbols: FAILED!

Note the test fails because perf expands the _init symbol over the PLT
because there are no PLT symbols at that point, but then
dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.

<title>perf test: Add event group test for events in multiple PMUs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9d9b22bedad13d96b34fe005ef44b4523c4eb786</id>
<content type='text'>
Multiple events in a group can belong to one or more PMUs, however
there are some limitations.

One of the limitations is that perf doesn't allow creating a group of
events from different hw PMUs.

Write a simple test to create various combinations of hw, sw and uncore
PMU events and verify group creation succeeds or fails as expected.

<title>perf test: Add 'datasym' test workload</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3dfc01fe9d12a1e832f49deab37279faa8a9ebc8</id>
<content type='text'>
The datasym workload is to check if perf mem command gets the data
addresses precisely.  This is needed for data symbol test.

  $ perf test -w datasym

I had to keep the buf1 in the data section, otherwise it could end
up in the BSS and was mmaped as a separate //anon region, then it
was not symbolized at all.  It needs to be fixed separately.

Committer notes:

Add a -U _FORTIFY_SOURCE to the datasym CFLAGS, as the main perf flags
set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has
a -O0.

<title>perf test: Add 'brstack' test workload</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a104f0ea99d846df19aad8a5476eb9bc39fa42ca</id>
<content type='text'>
The brstack is to run different kinds of branches repeatedly.  This is
necessary for brstack test case to verify if it has correct branch info.

  $ perf test -w brstack

I renamed the internal functions to have brstack_ prefix as it's too
generic name.

Add a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the brstack CFLAGS, as the main perf flags
set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has
a -O0.

The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling
sqrt() with rand().  This is needed for ARM SPE fork test.

  $ perf test -w sqrtloop

It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in
seconds (default: 1).

Committer notes:

Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where
the compiler complains it isn't being used.

And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make
this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination.

Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible
with it.

The leafloop workload is to run an infinite loop in the test_leaf
function.  This is needed for the ARM fp callgraph test to verify if it
gets the correct callchains.

  $ perf test -w leafloop

Committer notes:

Add a:

  -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE

to the leafloop CFLAGS as the main perf flags set it and it requires
building with optimization, and this new test has a -O0.
