<content type='text'>
This patch removes the need to set a bpf-output event in cmdline.  By
referencing a map named '__bpf_stdout__', perf automatically creates an
event for it.

For example:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
  # perf script
           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.307826:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff810eb9a1 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.407883:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff8105d609 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

  perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000

  equals to:

  perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit=1,name=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              -e ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              usleep 100000

Where test_bpf_trace.c is:

<content type='text'>
This patch allows cloning bpf-output event configuration among multiple
bpf scripts. If there exist a map named '__bpf_output__' and not
configured using 'map:__bpf_output__.event=', this patch clones the
configuration of another '__bpf_stdout__' map. For example, following
command:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c usleep 100000

equals to:

  # perf trace --ev bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/  \
               --ev ./test_bpf_trace2.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=evt/ \
               usleep 100000

Commit a43eec304259 ("bpf: introduce bpf_perf_event_output() helper")
adds a helper to enable a BPF program to output data to a perf ring
buffer through a new type of perf event, PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT. This
patch enables perf to create events of that type. Now a perf user can
use the following cmdline to receive output data from BPF programs:

  # perf record -a -e bpf-output/no-inherit,name=evt/ \
                    -e ./test_bpf_output.c/map:channel.event=evt/ ls /
  # perf script
     perf 1560 [004] 347747.086295:  evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...
     perf 1560 [004] 347747.086300:  evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...
     perf 1560 [004] 347747.086315:  evt: ffffffff811fd201 sys_write ...
            ...

<title>perf tools: Support setting different slots in a BPF map separately</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2d055bf253c0d606c5de3fe7749e3188080780ad</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces basic facilities to support config different slots
in a BPF map one by one.

array.nr_ranges and array.ranges are introduced into 'struct
parse_events_term', where ranges is an array of indices range (start,
length) which will be configured by this config term. nr_ranges is the
size of the array. The array is passed to 'struct bpf_map_priv'.  To
indicate the new type of configuration, BPF_MAP_KEY_RANGES is added as a
new key type. bpf_map_config_foreach_key() is extended to iterate over
those indices instead of all possible keys.

Code in this commit will be enabled by following commit which enables
the indices syntax for array configuration.

A new syntax is added to the parser so that the user can access
predefined perf events in BPF objects.

After this patch, BPF programs for perf are finally able to utilize
bpf_perf_event_read() introduced in commit 35578d798400 ("bpf: Implement
function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected hardware PMU
counter").

Test result:

bpf__apply_obj_config() is introduced as the core API to apply object
config options to all BPF objects. This patch also does the real work
for setting values for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_ARRAY maps by inserting value
stored in map's private field into the BPF map.

This patch is required because we are not always able to set all BPF
config during parsing. Further patch will set events created by perf to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps, which is not exist until
perf_evsel__open().

bpf_map_foreach_key() is introduced to iterate over each key needs to be
configured. This function would be extended to support more map types
and different key settings.

In perf record, before start recording, call bpf__apply_config() to turn
on all BPF config options.

<title>perf bpf: Add API to set values to map entries in a bpf object</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=066dacbf2a32defb4de23ea4c1af9e77578b5ac2'/>
<id>urn:sha1:066dacbf2a32defb4de23ea4c1af9e77578b5ac2</id>
<content type='text'>
bpf__config_obj() is introduced as a core API to config BPF object after
loading. One configuration option of maps is introduced. After this
patch BPF object can accept assignments like:

  map:my_map.value=1234

(map.my_map.value looks pretty. However, there's a small but hard to fix
problem related to flex's greedy matching. Please see [1].  Choose ':'
to avoid it in a simpler way.)

This patch is more complex than the work it does because the
consideration of extension. In designing BPF map configuration, the
following things should be considered:

 1. Array indices selection: perf should allow user setting different
    value for different slots in an array, with syntax like:
    map:my_map.value[0,3...6]=1234;

 2. A map should be set by different config terms, each for a part
    of it. For example, set each slot to the pid of a thread;

 3. Type of value: integer is not the only valid value type. A perf
    counter can also be put into a map after commit 35578d798400
    ("bpf: Implement function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the
      selected hardware PMU counter")

 4. For a hash table, it should be possible to use a string or other
    value as a key;

 5. It is possible that map configuration is unable to be setup
    during parsing. A perf counter is an example.

Therefore, this patch does the following:

 1. Instead of updating map element during parsing, this patch stores
    map config options in 'struct bpf_map_priv'. Following patches
    will apply those configs at an appropriate time;

 2. Link map operations in a list so a map can have multiple config
    terms attached, so different parts can be configured separately;

 3. Make 'struct bpf_map_priv' extensible so that the following patches
    can add new types of keys and operations;

 4. Use bpf_obj_config__map_funcs array to support more map config options.

Since the patch changing the event parser to parse BPF object config is
relative large, I've put it in another commit. Code in this patch can be
tested after applying the next patch.

<title>perf bpf: Rename bpf_prog_priv__clear() to clear_prog_priv()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:80cdce7666924158af63ba5071805a28800ebe4b</id>
<content type='text'>
The name of bpf_prog_priv__clear() doesn't follow perf's naming
convention. bpf_prog_priv__delete() seems to be a better name. However,
bpf_prog_priv__delete() should be a method of 'struct bpf_prog_priv',
but its first parameter is 'struct bpf_program'.

It is callback from libbpf to clear priv structures when destroying a
bpf program. It is actually a method of bpf_program (libbpf object), but
bpf_program__ functions should be provided by libbpf.

This patch removes the prefix of that function.

Following patches are going to introduce BPF object level configuration
to enable setting values into BPF maps. To avoid confusion, this patch
renames existing 'config' in bpf-loader.c to 'program config'. Following
patches would introduce 'object config'.

<title>perf bpf: Use same BPF program if arguments are identical</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d35b32891a61f1d3909bdc5280badf309adc4693</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch allows creating only one BPF program for different
'probe_trace_event'(tev) entries generated by one
'perf_probe_event'(pev) if their prologues are identical.

This is done by comparing the argument list of different tev instances,
and the maps type of prologue and tev using a mapping array. This patch
utilizes qsort to sort the tevs. After sorting, tevs with identical
argument lists will be grouped together.

Test result:

Sample BPF program:

  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
  SEC("inlines=no;"
      "func=SyS_dup? oldfd")
  int func(void *ctx)
  {
      return 1;
  }

It would probe at SyS_dup2 and SyS_dup3, obtaining oldfd as its
argument.

The following cmdline shows a BPF program being loaded into the kernel
by perf:

 # perf record -e ./test_bpf_arg.c sleep 4 &amp; sleep 1 &amp;&amp; ls /proc/$!/fd/ -l | grep bpf-prog

Before this patch:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_arg.c sleep 4 &amp; sleep 1 &amp;&amp; ls /proc/$!/fd/ -l | grep bpf-prog
  [1] 24858
  lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Nov 14 04:09 3 -&gt; anon_inode:bpf-prog
  lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Nov 14 04:09 4 -&gt; anon_inode:bpf-prog
  ...

After this patch:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_arg.c sleep 4 &amp; sleep 1 &amp;&amp; ls /proc/$!/fd/ -l | grep bpf-prog
  [1] 25699
  lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Nov 14 04:10 3 -&gt; anon_inode:bpf-prog
