<title>perf bpf: Fix build with libbpf 0.7.0 by checking if bpf_program__set_insns() is available</title>

<content type='text'>
During the transition to libbpf 1.0 some functions that perf used were
deprecated and finally removed from libbpf, so bpf_program__set_insns()
was introduced for perf to continue to use its bpf loader.

But when build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 we now need to check if that
function is available so that perf can build with older libbpf versions,
even if the end result is emitting a warning to the user that the use
of the perf BPF loader requires a newer libbpf, since bpf_program__set_insns()
touches libbpf objects internal state.

This affects only 'perf trace' when using bpf C code or pre-compiled
bytecode as an event.

Noticed on RHEL9, that has libbpf 0.7.0, where bpf_program__set_insns()
isn't available.

When libbpf is present the build uses definitions in libbpf hashmap.c,
however, libbpf's hashmap.h wasn't being used. Switch to using the
correct hashmap.h dependent on the define HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT. This was
the original intent in:

Many cases do not use the extra error information provided by
parse_events and instead pass NULL as the struct parse_events_error
pointer. Add a wrapper for those cases so that the pointer is never
NULL.

<title>perf bpf: Remove undefined behavior from bpf_perf_object__next()</title>

<content type='text'>
bpf_perf_object__next() folded the last element in the list test with the
empty list test. However, this meant that offsets were computed against
null and that a struct list_head was compared against a 'struct
bpf_perf_object'.

Working around this with clang's undefined behavior sanitizer required
-fno-sanitize=null and -fno-sanitize=object-size.

Remove the undefined behavior by using the regular Linux list APIs and
handling the starting case separately from the end testing case.

Looking at uses like bpf_perf_object__for_each(), as the constant NULL
or non-NULL argument can be constant propagated, the code is no less
efficient.

<title>perf tools: Rework prologue generation code</title>
<updated>2022-06-24T20:36:23+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:b168852eb8eff57b63e72e3bc584bda3d2cb9577</id>
<content type='text'>
Some functions we use for bpf prologue generation are going to be
deprecated. This change reworks current code not to use them.

We need to replace following functions/struct:
   bpf_program__set_prep
   bpf_program__nth_fd
   struct bpf_prog_prep_result

Currently we use bpf_program__set_prep to hook perf callback before
program is loaded and provide new instructions with the prologue.

We replace this function/ality by taking instructions for specific
program, attaching prologue to them and load such new ebpf programs
with prologue using separate bpf_prog_load calls (outside libbpf
load machinery).

Before we can take and use program instructions, we need libbpf to
actually load it. This way we get the final shape of its instructions
with all relocations and verifier adjustments).

There's one glitch though.. perf kprobe program already assumes
generated prologue code with proper values in argument registers,
so loading such program directly will fail in the verifier.

That's where the fallback pre-load handler fits in and prepends
the initialization code to the program. Once such program is loaded
we take its instructions, cut off the initialization code and prepend
the prologue.

I know.. sorry ;-)

To have access to the program when loading this patch adds support to
register 'fallback' section handler to take care of perf kprobe programs.
The fallback means that it handles any section definition besides the
ones that libbpf handles.

The handler serves two purposes:
  - allows perf programs to have special arguments in section name
  - allows perf to use pre-load callback where we can attach init
    code (zeroing all argument registers) to each perf program

   - Add --synth=no option for record, as there is no need to symbolize,
     lock names comes from the tracepoints.

  perf record:

   - Threaded recording, opt-in, via the new --threads command line
     option.

   - Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling
     messages.

  perf script:

   - Add 'brstackinsnlen' field (use it with -F) for branch stacks.

   - Output branch sample type in 'perf script'.

  perf report:

   - Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions.

   - Print branch stack entry type in 'perf report --dump-raw-trace'

   - Fix symbolization for chrooted workloads.

  Hardware tracing:

  Intel PT:

   - Add CFE (Control Flow Event) and EVD (Event Data) packets support.

   - Add MODE.Exec IFLAG bit support.

     Explanation about these features from the "Intel® 64 and IA-32
     architectures software developer’s manual combined volumes: 1, 2A,
     2B, 2C, 2D, 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 4" PDF at:

        https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/671200

     At page 3951:
      "32.2.4

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
       asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

           - VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
             and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

        o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
          instructions.

        o Shutdown.

       Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
       Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

  ARM CoreSight:

   - Use advertised caps/min_interval as default sample_period on ARM
     spe.

   - Update deduction of TRCCONFIGR register for branch broadcast on
     ARM's CoreSight ETM.

  Vendor Events (JSON):

  Intel:

   - Update events and metrics for: Alderlake, Broadwell, Broadwell DE,
     BroadwellX, CascadelakeX, Elkhartlake, Bonnell, Goldmont,
     GoldmontPlus, Westmere EP-DP, Haswell, HaswellX, Icelake, IcelakeX,
     Ivybridge, Ivytown, Jaketown, Knights Landing, Nehalem EP,
     Sandybridge, Silvermont, Skylake, Skylake Server, SkylakeX,
     Tigerlake, TremontX, Westmere EP-SP, and Westmere EX.

  ARM:

   - Add support for HiSilicon CPA PMU aliasing.

  perf stat:

   - Fix forked applications enablement of counters.

   - The 'slots' should only be printed on a different order than the
     one specified on the command line when 'topdown' events are
     present, fix it.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Sync msr-index, cpufeatures header files with the kernel sources.

   - Stop using some deprecated libbpf APIs in 'perf trace'.

   - Fix some spelling mistakes.

   - Refactor the maps pointers usage to pave the way for using refcount
     debugging.

   - Only offer the --tui option on perf top, report and annotate when
     perf was built with libslang.

   - Don't mention --to-ctf in 'perf data --help' when not linking with
     the required library, libbabeltrace.

   - Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of ad hoc equivalent, spotted by
     array_size.cocci.

   - Enhance the matching of sub-commands abbreviations:
	'perf c2c rec' -&gt; 'perf c2c record'
	'perf c2c recport -&gt; error

   - Set build-id using build-id header on new mmap records.

   - Fix generation of 'perf --version' string.

  perf test:

   - Add test for the arm_spe event.

   - Add test to check unwinding using fame-pointer (fp) mode on arm64.

   - Make metric testing more robust in 'perf test'.

   - Add error message for unsupported branch stack cases.

  libperf:

   - Add API for allocating new thread map array.

   - Fix typo in perf_evlist__open() failure error messages in libperf
     tests.

  perf c2c:

   - Replace bitmap_weight() with bitmap_empty() where appropriate"

Both bpf_map__set_priv()/bpf_map__priv() are deprecated and will be
eventually removed.

Use hashmap to replace that functionality.
