perf parse-events: Fixes relating to no_value terms

2023-09-02T11:12:15+00:00

A term may have no value in which case it is assumed to have a value of 1. It doesn't just apply to alias/event terms so change the parse_events_term__to_strbuf assert. Commit 99e7138eb7897aa0 ("perf tools: Fail on using multiple bits long terms without value") made it so that no_value terms could only be for a single bit. Prior to commit 64199ae4b8a3 ("perf parse-events: Fix propagation of term's no_value when cloning") this missed a test case where config1 had no_value.

perf parse-events: Name the two term enums

2023-08-31T19:24:55+00:00

Name the enums used by 'struct parse_events_term' to parse_events__term_val_type and parse_events__term_type. This allows greater compile time error checking. Fix -Wswitch related issues by explicitly listing all enum values prior to default. Add config_term_name to safely look up a parse_events__term_type name, bounds checking the array access first. Add documentation to 'struct parse_events_terms' and reorder to save space.

perf parse-events: Make common term list to strbuf helper

2023-08-31T02:03:03+00:00

A term list is turned into a string for debug output and for the str value in the alias. Add a helper to do this based on existing code, but then fix for situations like events being identified. Use strbuf to manage the dynamic memory allocation and remove the 256 byte limit. Use in various places the string of the term list is required.

perf pmu: Remove logic for PMU name being NULL

2023-08-25T13:22:16+00:00

The PMU name could be NULL in the case of the fake_pmu. Initialize the name for the fake_pmu to "fake" so that all other logic can assume it is initialized. Add a const to the type of name so that a literal can be used to avoid additional initialization code. Propagate the cost through related routines and remove now unnecessary "(char *)" casts. Doing this located a bug in builtin-list for the pmu_glob that was missing a strdup.

perf pmu: Parse sysfs events directly from a file

2023-08-24T14:02:59+00:00

Rather than read a sysfs events file into a 256 byte char buffer, pass the FILE* directly to the lex/yacc parser. This avoids there being a maximum events file size. While changing the API, constify some arguments to remove unnecessary casts. Allocating the read buffer decreases the performance of pmu-scan by around 3%.

perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support

2023-08-15T19:41:48+00:00

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'.
