BPF CO-RE requires 3 underscores for the ignored suffix rule but it
mistakenly used only 2.  Let's fix it.

<title>perf lock contention: Add empty 'struct rq' to satisfy libbpf 'runqueue' type verification</title>

<id>urn:sha1:760ebc45746b498a36332acefd9e2838a3f8fcf0</id>
<content type='text'>
If 'struct rq' isn't defined in lock_contention.bpf.c then the type for
the 'runqueue' variable ends up being a forward declaration
(BTF_KIND_FWD) while the kernel has it defined (BTF_KIND_STRUCT).

This makes libbpf decide it has incompatible types and then fails to
load the BPF skeleton:

  # perf lock con -ab sleep 1
  libbpf: extern (var ksym) 'runqueues': incompatible types, expected [95] fwd rq, but kernel has [55509] struct rq
  libbpf: failed to load object 'lock_contention_bpf'
  libbpf: failed to load BPF skeleton 'lock_contention_bpf': -22
  Failed to load lock-contention BPF skeleton
  lock contention BPF setup failed
  #

Add it as an empty struct to satisfy that type verification:

  # perf lock con -ab sleep 1
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait         type   caller

           2     50.64 us     25.38 us     25.32 us     spinlock   tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
           1     26.18 us     26.18 us     26.18 us     spinlock   tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25

Committer notes:

Extracted from a larger patch as Namhyung had already fixed the other
issues in e53de7b65a3ca59a ("perf lock contention: Fix struct rq lock
access").

<title>perf bpf skels: Make vmlinux.h use bpf.h and perf_event.h in source directory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5be6cecda0802f2397504fd40c3402cd8ac8022e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, vmlinux.h uses the bpf.h and perf_event.h header files in the
system path. If the header files in compilation environment are old,
compilation may fail. For example:

  /home/yangjihong/linux/tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/.tmp/../vmlinux.h:151:27: error: field has incomplete type 'union perf_sample_weight'
          union perf_sample_weight weight;

Use the bpf.h and perf_event.h files in the source code directory to
avoid compilation compatibility problems.

<title>perf bpf skels: Stop using vmlinux.h generated from BTF, use subset of used structs + CO-RE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a887466562b425bd6183bf75b523c1477c9fd22d</id>
<content type='text'>
Linus reported a build break due to using a vmlinux without a BTF elf
section to generate the vmlinux.h header with bpftool for use in the BPF
tools in tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/*.bpf.c.

Instead add a vmlinux.h file with the structs needed with the fields the
tools need, marking the structs with __attribute__((preserve_access_index)),
so that libbpf's CO-RE code can fixup the struct field offsets.

In some cases the vmlinux.h file that was being generated by bpftool
from the kernel BTF information was not needed at all, just including
linux/bpf.h, sometimes linux/perf_event.h was enough as non-UAPI
types were not being used.

To keep te patch small, include those UAPI headers from the trimmed down
vmlinux.h file, that then provides the tools with just the structs and
the subset of its fields needed for them.

Testing it:

It seems BPF CO-RE reloc doesn't work well with the pattern that gets
the field-offset only.  Use offsetof() to make it explicit so that
the compiler would generate the correct code.

The BPF CO-RE's ignore suffix rule requires three underscores.
Otherwise it'd fail like below:

  $ sudo perf lock contention -ab

  libbpf: prog 'collect_lock_syms': -- BEGIN PROG LOAD LOG --

<title>perf lock contention: Do not try to update if hash map is full</title>

It doesn't delete data in the task_data and lock_stat maps.  The data
is kept there until it's consumed by userspace at the end.  But it calls
bpf_map_update_elem() again and again, and the data will be discarded if
the map is full.  This is not good.

Worse, in the bpf_map_update_elem(), it keeps trying to get a new node
even if the map was full.  I guess it makes sense if it deletes some node
like in the tstamp map (that's why I didn't make the change there).

In a pre-allocated hash map, that means it'd iterate all CPU to check the
freelist.  And it has a bad performance impact on large machines.

I've checked it on my 64 CPU machine with this.

  $ perf bench sched messaging -g 1000
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 1000 groups == 40000 processes run

       Total time: 2.825 [sec]

And I used the task mode, so that it can guarantee the map is full.
The default map entry size is 16K and this workload has 40K tasks.

Before:
  $ sudo ./perf lock con -abt -E3 -- perf bench sched messaging -g 1000
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 1000 groups == 40000 processes run

       Total time: 11.299 [sec]
   contended   total wait     max wait     avg wait          pid   comm

       19284      3.51 s       3.70 ms    181.91 us      1305863   sched-messaging
         243     84.09 ms    466.67 us    346.04 us      1336608   sched-messaging
         177     66.35 ms     12.08 ms    374.88 us      1220416   node

For some reason, it didn't report the data failures.  But you can see the
total time in the workload is increased a lot (2.8 -&gt; 11.3).  If it fails
early when the map is full, it goes back to normal.

After:
  $ sudo ./perf lock con -abt -E3 -- perf bench sched messaging -g 1000
  # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark:
  # 20 sender and receiver processes per group
  # 1000 groups == 40000 processes run

       Total time: 3.044 [sec]

It's possible to fail to update the data when the lock_stat map is full.
We should check that case and show the number at the end.

  $ sudo ./perf lock con -ablv -E3 -- ./perf bench sched messaging
  ...
