This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will
be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to
user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this
patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic
validation according to e_type and e_machine.
All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.
After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.
The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

By libbpf_set_print(), users of libbpf are allowed to register he/she
own debug, info and warning printing functions. Libbpf will use those
functions to print messages. If not provided, default info and warning
printing functions are fprintf(stderr, ...); default debug printing
is NULL.
This API is designed to be used by perf, enables it to register its own
logging functions to make all logs uniform, instead of separated
logging level control.

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.
Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.
Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.
To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.

The perf tools have a symbol resolver that includes solving kernel
symbols using either kallsyms or ELF symtabs, and it also is using
libtraceevent to format the trace events fields, including via
subsystem specific plugins, like the "timer" one.
To solve fields like "timer:hrtimer_start"'s "function", libtraceevent
needs a way to map from its value to a function name and addr.
This patch provides a way for tools that already have symbol resolving
facilities to ask libtraceevent to use it when needing to resolve
kernel symbols.

Instead of accessing it directly, as it uses EXPORT_SYMBOL, that has
no meaning in tools/perf and because we removed the stubs for it, i.e.
we removed the tools/include/linux/export.h file.
This fixes the build for the detached tarball sources cases and removes
one more source of entanglement with the kernel sources.

Now that we have two mountpoints, one for debugfs and another, for
tracefs, we end up needing to check permissions for both, so, on
a system with default config we were always asking the user to
check the permission of the debugfs mountpoint, even when it was
already sufficient. Fix it.
E.g.:
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
$ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug
$ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit)
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

Traceevent plugins need dynamic symbols exported from libtraceevent.a,
otherwise a dlopen error will occur during plugins loading.
This patch uses dynamic-list-file to export dynamic symbols which will
be used in plugins to perf executable.
The problem is covered up if feature-libpython is enabled, because
PYTHON_EMBED_LDOPTS contains '-Xlinker --export-dynamic' which adds all
symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So we should reproduce the problem
by setting NO_LIBPYTHON=1.

Before this patch, 'make install' installs libraries into bindir:
$ make install DESTDIR=./tree
INSTALL trace_plugins
INSTALL libtraceevent.a
INSTALL libtraceevent.so
$ find ./tree
./tree/
./tree/usr
./tree/usr/local
./tree/usr/local/bin
./tree/usr/local/bin/libtraceevent.a
./tree/usr/local/bin/libtraceevent.so
...
/usr/local/lib( or lib64) should be a better place.
This patch replaces 'bin' with libdir. For __LP64__ building, libraries
are installed to /usr/local/lib64. For other building, to
/usr/local/lib instead.

$ make install DESTDIR=./tree

Introduce an 'alias' field to 'struct format_field' to be able
to use alternative name for the field.
It is initialized with same string pointer as 'name' field.
The free logic checks the 'alias' pointer being reset by user
and frees it.
This will be handy when converting data into CTF, where each
field within event needs to have a unique name (while this
is not required for tracepoint). Converter can easily assign
unique name into the format_field struct.

Some toolchains (like Hardened Gentoo) define _FORTIFY_SOURCE in the

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Core kernel changes:
- One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
by the kernel) to kprobes.
This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
(Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
allow unprivileged use as well.)
(Alexei Starovoitov)
- Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
sources for event timestamps traced via perf.
This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
events with external events that were measured with different
clocks:
- cluster wide profiling
- for system wide tracing with user-space events,
- JIT profiling events
etc. Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.
(Peter Zijlstra)
Hardware enablement kernel changes:
- x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.
The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.
This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
will probably be ready by 4.2.
(Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)
- x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.
These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events. (The
partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
as a cgroup extension.)
(Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
Waskiewicz Jr)
- x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
tooling support. To activate this feature you have to enable it
via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:
perf record --call-graph lbr
perf report
or:
perf top --call-graph lbr
This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
based unwinding, but has some limitations:
- It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
branch record can not be enabled at the same time.
- It is only available for user-space callchains.
(Yan, Zheng)
- x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
event table fixes for earlier models.
(Andi Kleen)
- x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds. This is a complex
CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
value corruption. The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
is transparent.
(Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)
The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
the tooling changes outlined above:
User visible changes affecting all tools:
- Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
- Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
- Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
- Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
- Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
User visible changes in individual tools:
'perf data':
New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
Sebastian Siewior)
'perf diff':
Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)
'perf list':
Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)
Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)
'perf kmem':
Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)
Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)
Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)
Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)
'perf probe':
Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)
Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)
Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)
'perf record':
Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

Currently it ignores operator priority and just sets processed args as a
right operand. But it could result in priority inversion in case that
the right operand is also a operator arg and its priority is lower.
For example, following print format is from new kmem events.
"page=%p", REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)(0xffffea0000000000UL)) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0)
But this was treated as below:
REC->pfn != ((null - 1UL) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)
In this case, the right arg was '?' operator which has lower priority.
But it just sets the whole arg so making the output confusing - page was
always 0 or 1 since that's the result of logical operation.
With this patch, it can handle it properly like following:
((REC->pfn != (null - 1UL)) ? ((struct page *)0xffffea0000000000UL + REC->pfn) : (void *) 0)

Guilherme Cox found that:
There is, however, a potential bug if there is an item with code zero
that is not the first one in the symbol list, since eval_flag(..)
returns 0 when it doesn't find anything.
That is, if you have the following enums:
enum {
FOO_START = 0,
FOO_GO = 1,
FOO_END = 2
}
and then have:
__print_symbolic(foo, FOO_GO, "go", FOO_START, "start",
FOO_END, "end")
If none of the enums are known to pevent, then eval_flag() will return
zero, and it will match it to the first item in the list, which would be
FOO_GO, which is not zero.
Luckily, in most cases, the first element would be zero, and the parsing
would match out of sheer luck.

When a event PADDING is hit (a deleted event that is still in the ring
buffer), translate_data() sets the length of the padding and also updates
the data pointer which is passed back to the caller.
This is unneeded because the caller also updates the data pointer with
the passed back length. translate_data() should not update the pointer,
only set the length.

When a plugin option is defined, by default it is a boolean (true or false).
If the option is something else, then it needs to set its "value" field to
a default string other than NULL (can be just "").
If the value is not set then the option is considered boolean, and the
updating of the option value will be handled accordingly.

There is a pevent_data_comm_from_pid() that returns the cmdline stored for
a given pid in order for users to map pids to comms, but there's no method
to convert a comm back to a pid. This is useful for filters that specify
a comm instead of a PID (it's faster than searching each individual event).
Add a way to retrieve a comm from a pid. Since there can be more than one
pid associated to a comm, it returns a data structure that lets the user
iterate over all the saved comms for a given pid.

The pevent->trace_clock should not be a direct pointer to what was
given. It should be copied and freed.
Note, valgrind pointed this out when a caller passed in a pointer that
needed to be freed and it never was. Ideally, pevent should copy it
(which this change does), and free the copy. It's up to the caller to
free the clock string passed in.

It is possible that a pid has no associated comm attached to it, although it
can still be passed to pevent_register_comm().
But if comm is NULL, it will cause strdup() to segfault. To prevent this
from happening, if comm is NULL use the default "<...>" name for the
pid.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- AMD range breakpoints support:
Extend breakpoint tools and core to support address range through
perf event with initial backend support for AMD extended
breakpoints.
The syntax is:
perf record -e mem:addr/len:type
For example set write breakpoint from 0x1000 to 0x1200 (0x1000 + 512)
perf record -e mem:0x1000/512:w
- event throttling/rotating fixes
- various event group handling fixes, cleanups and general paranoia
code to be more robust against bugs in the future.
- kernel stack overhead fixes
User-visible tooling side changes:
- Show precise number of samples in at the end of a 'record' session,
if processing build ids, since we will then traverse the whole
perf.data file and see all the PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE records,
otherwise stop showing the previous off-base heuristicly counted
number of "samples" (Namhyung Kim).
- Support to read compressed module from build-id cache (Namhyung
Kim)
- Enable sampling loads and stores simultaneously in 'perf mem'
(Stephane Eranian)
- 'perf diff' output improvements (Namhyung Kim)
- Fix error reporting for evsel pgfault constructor (Arnaldo Carvalho
de Melo)
Tooling side infrastructure changes:
- Cache eh/debug frame offset for dwarf unwind (Namhyung Kim)
- Support parsing parameterized events (Cody P Schafer)
- Add support for IP address formats in libtraceevent (David Ahern)
Plus other misc fixes"

Since tracefs will now hold the event directory for perf, and even
though by default, debugfs still mounts tracefs on the debugfs/tracing
directory, the system admin may now choose to not mount debugfs and
instead just mount tracefs instead.
Having tracefs helper functions will facilitate having perf look for
tracefs first, and then try debugf |
