perf evsel: Introduce evsel__name_is() method to check if the evsel name is equal to a given string

2023-04-24T17:28:11+00:00

This makes the logic a bit clear by avoiding the !strcmp() pattern and also a way to intercept the pointer if we need to do extra validation on it or to do lazy setting of evsel->name via evsel__name(evsel).

perf evlist: Use zfree() to reduce chances of use after free

2023-04-12T13:11:51+00:00

Do defensive programming by using zfree() to initialize freed pointers to NULL, so that eventual use after free result in a NULL pointer deref instead of more subtle behaviour. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf record: Add BPF event filter support

2023-03-15T14:08:34+00:00

Use --filter option to set BPF filter for generic events other than the tracepoints or Intel PT. The BPF program will check the sample data and filter according to the expression. For example, the below is the typical perf record for frequency mode. The sample period started from 1 and increased gradually. $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles true $ sudo ./perf script perf-exec 2272336 546683.916875: 1 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916892: 1 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916899: 3 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916905: 17 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916911: 100 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916917: 589 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916924: 3470 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2272336 546683.916930: 20465 cycles: ffffffff828499b8 perf_event_exec+0x298 ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2272336 546683.916940: 119873 cycles: ffffffff8283afdd perf_iterate_ctx+0x2d ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2272336 546683.917003: 461349 cycles: ffffffff82892517 vma_interval_tree_insert+0x37 ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2272336 546683.917237: 635778 cycles: ffffffff82a11400 security_mmap_file+0x20 ([kernel.kallsyms]) When you add a BPF filter to get samples having periods greater than 1000, the output would look like below: $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'period > 1000' true $ sudo ./perf script perf-exec 2273949 546850.708501: 5029 cycles: ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708508: 32409 cycles: ffffffff826f9e25 finish_wait+0x5 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708526: 143369 cycles: ffffffff82b4cdbf xas_start+0x5f ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708600: 372650 cycles: ffffffff8286b8f7 __pagevec_lru_add+0x117 ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf-exec 2273949 546850.708791: 482953 cycles: ffffffff829190de __mod_memcg_lruvec_state+0x4e ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2273949 546850.709036: 501985 cycles: ffffffff828add7c tlb_gather_mmu+0x4c ([kernel.kallsyms]) true 2273949 546850.709292: 503065 cycles: 7f2446d97c03 _dl_map_object_deps+0x973 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2) Committer notes: Add stubs for perf_bpf_filter__prepare() and perf_bpf_filter__destroy() to tools/perf/util/python.c to keep it building.

perf evlist: Remove nr_groups

2023-03-13T20:42:27+00:00

Maintaining the number of groups during event parsing is problematic and since changing to sort/regroup events can only be computed by a linear pass over the evlist. As the value is generally only used in tests, rather than hold it in a variable compute it by passing over the evlist when necessary. This change highlights that libpfm's counting of groups with a single entry disagreed with regular event parsing. The libpfm tests are updated accordingly.

perf evlist: Remove group option.

2022-12-14T18:28:18+00:00

The group option predates grouping events using curly braces added in commit 89efb029502d7f2d ("perf tools: Add support to parse event group syntax"). The --group option was retained for legacy support (in August 2012) but keeping it adds complexity.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

2022-12-14T14:16:12+00:00

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command line variables. If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support. This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace". CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles, HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code. Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The majority of commands continue to work including "perf test". Committer notes: Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added: #include to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures: - Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/ - bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target. Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests. - s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT. Also from Athira: With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment: - Without libtraceevent-devel installed - With libtraceevent-devel installed - With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1” Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.
