perf tools: Introduce bpf-output event

2016-02-22T17:37:21+00:00

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 ... ...

perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event

2015-10-29T20:16:23+00:00

This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event directly using: # perf record --event bpf-file.c command This patch does following works: 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source file or object. 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the in-memory object. Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it: # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1 Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'. Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.

perf tools: Enable passing bpf object file to --event

2015-10-28T15:48:12+00:00

By introducing new rules in tools/perf/util/parse-events.[ly], this patch enables 'perf record --event bpf_file.o' to select events by an eBPF object file. It calls parse_events_load_bpf() to load that file, which uses bpf__prepare_load() and finally calls bpf_object__open() for the object files. After applying this patch, commands like: # perf record --event foo.o sleep become possible. However, at this point it is unable to link any useful things onto the evsel list because the creating of probe points and BPF program attaching have not been implemented. Before real events are possible to be extracted, to avoid perf report error because of empty evsel list, this patch link a dummy evsel. The dummy event related code will be removed when probing and extracting code is ready. Commiter notes: Using it: $ ls -la foo.o ls: cannot access foo.o: No such file or directory $ perf record --event foo.o sleep libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory event syntax error: 'foo.o' \___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/build/perf/perf.o /tmp/build/perf/perf.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/build/perf/perf.o sleep libbpf: /tmp/build/perf/perf.o is not an eBPF object file event syntax error: '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' \___ BPF object file '/tmp/build/perf/perf.o' is invalid (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events $ $ file /tmp/foo.o /tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ] $ perf evlist /tmp/foo.o $ perf evlist -v /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 $ So, type 1 is PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE, config 0x9 is PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY, ok. $ perf report --stdio Error: The perf.data file has no samples! # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # $ Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: David Ahern Cc: He Kuang Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kaixu Xia Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444826502-49291-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

This patchkit adds the ability to set callgraph mode (fp, dwarf, lbr) per event. This in term can reduce sampling overhead and the size of the perf.data. Here is an example. perf record -e 'cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/,cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/' sleep 1 perf evlist -v cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000,call-graph=fp,time=1/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0x3c, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 1000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 cpu/instructions,call-graph=lbr/: type: 4, size: 112, config: 0xc0, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CALLCHAIN|PERIOD|BRANCH_STACK|IDENTIFIER, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 Signed-off-by: Kan Liang Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1439289050-40510-1-git-send-email-kan.liang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
