perf bpf: Add probe() helper to reduce kprobes boilerplate

2018-05-15T17:31:24Z

So that kprobe definitions become: int probe(function, variables)(void *ctx, int err, var1, var2, ...) The existing 5sec.c, got converted and goes from: SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec") int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec) { } To: int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec) { } If we decide to add tv_nsec as well, then it becomes: $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c #include int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec rqtp->tv_nsec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec, long nsec) { return sec == 5; } license(GPL); $ And if we run it, system wide as before and run some 'sleep' with values for the tv_nsec field, we get: # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c 0.000 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=100000000 9641.650 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=123450001 ^C# Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1v9r8f6ds5av0w9pcwpeknyl@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf bpf: Add kprobe example to catch 5s naps

2018-05-15T17:31:24Z

Description: . Disable strace like syscall tracing (--no-syscalls), or try tracing just some (-e *sleep). . Attach a filter function to a kernel function, returning when it should be considered, i.e. appear on the output: $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c #include SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec") int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec) { return sec == 5; } char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE; $ . Run it system wide, so that any sleep of >= 5 seconds and < than 6 seconds gets caught. . Ask for callgraphs using DWARF info, so that userspace can be unwound . While this is running, run something like "sleep 5s". # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c/call-graph=dwarf/ 0.000 perf_bpf_probe:func:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 hrtimer_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms]) __x64_sys_nanosleep ([kernel.kallsyms]) do_syscall_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) entry_SYSCALL_64 ([kernel.kallsyms]) __GI___nanosleep (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) rpl_nanosleep (/usr/bin/sleep) xnanosleep (/usr/bin/sleep) main (/usr/bin/sleep) __libc_start_main (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) _start (/usr/bin/sleep) ^C# Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-2nmxth2l2h09f9gy85lyexcq@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
