2018-05-25tools/bpftool: add perf subcommandYonghong Song1-1/+4
The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated with a perf event, it will print out related perf event information. Documentation is also added. Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands. Running the following 4 bcc commands: kprobe: trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep' kretprobe: trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep' tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep' uprobe: trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main' The bpftool command line and result: $ bpftool perf pid 21711 fd 5: prog_id 5 kprobe func __x64_sys_write offset 0 pid 21765 fd 5: prog_id 7 kretprobe func __x64_sys_nanosleep offset 0 pid 21767 fd 5: prog_id 8 tracepoint sys_enter_nanosleep pid 21800 fd 5: prog_id 9 uprobe filename /home/yhs/a.out offset 1159 $ bpftool -j perf [{"pid":21711,"fd":5,"prog_id":5,"fd_type":"kprobe","func":"__x64_sys_write","offset":0}, \ {"pid":21765,"fd":5,"prog_id":7,"fd_type":"kretprobe","func":"__x64_sys_nanosleep","offset":0}, \ {"pid":21767,"fd":5,"prog_id":8,"fd_type":"tracepoint","tracepoint":"sys_enter_nanosleep"}, \ {"pid":21800,"fd":5,"prog_id":9,"fd_type":"uprobe","filename":"/home/yhs/a.out","offset":1159}] $ bpftool prog 5: kprobe name probe___x64_sys tag e495a0c82f2c7a8d gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:46:37-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 4 7: kprobe name probe___x64_sys tag f2fdee479a503abf gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:48:32-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 7 8: tracepoint name tracepoint__sys tag 5390badef2395fcf gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:48:48-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 8 9: kprobe name probe_main_1 tag 0a87bdc2e2953b6d gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:49:52-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 9 $ ps ax | grep "python ./trace.py" 21711 pts/0 T 0:03 python ./trace.py __x64_sys_write 21765 pts/0 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py r::__x64_sys_nanosleep 21767 pts/2 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py t:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep 21800 pts/3 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py p:/home/yhs/a.out:main 22374 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto python ./trace.py Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
2018-05-05tools: bpftool: add simple perf event output readerJakub Kicinski1-1/+1
Users of BPF sooner or later discover perf_event_output() helpers and BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY. Dumping this array type is not possible, however, we can add simple reading of perf events. Create a new event_pipe subcommand for maps, this sub command will only work with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps. Parts of the code from samples/bpf/trace_output_user.c.

iproute2 seems to accept show and list as aliases. Let's do the same thing, and by allowing both bring cgroup syntax back in line with maps and progs.

2017-10-24tools: bpftool: update documentation for --json and --pretty usageQuentin Monnet1-1/+11
Update the documentation to provide help about JSON output generation, and add an example in bpftool-prog manual page. Also reintroduce an example that was left aside when the tool was moved from GitHub to the kernel sources, in order to show how to mount the bpffs file system (to pin programs) inside the bpftool-prog manual page.
