perf trace: empty fix libbpf 1.0+ compatibility

2022-11-04T14:39:54Z

Avoid use of tools/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h and use the more regular BPF headers. Add raw_syscalls:sys_enter to avoid the evlist being empty. Committer testing: # time perf trace -e ~acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c sleep 5 real 0m5.697s user 0m0.217s sys 0m0.453s # I.e. it sets up everything successfully (use -v to see the details) and filters out all syscalls, then exits when the workload (sleep 5) finishes.

perf: Use consistent include paths for libbpf

2020-01-21T00:37:45Z

Fix perf to include libbpf header files with the bpf/ prefix, to be consistent with external users of the library.

perf bpf: Add bpf.h to be used in eBPF proggies

2018-05-15T17:31:23Z

So, the first helper is the one shortening a variable/function section attribute, from, for instance: char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL"; to: char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; Convert empty.c to that and it becomes: # cat ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c #include char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE; # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-zmeg52dlvy51rdlhyumfl5yf@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf bpf: Add 'examples' directories

2018-05-15T17:31:23Z

The first one is the bare minimum that bpf infrastructure accepts before it expects actual events to be set up: $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL"; int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE; $ If you remove that "version" line, then it will be refused with: # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c event syntax error: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c' \___ Failed to load tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf trace [] [] or: perf trace [] -- [] or: perf trace record [] [] or: perf trace record [] -- [] -e, --event event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events # The next ones will, step by step, show simple filters, then the needs for headers will be made clear, it will be put in place and tested with new examples, rinse, repeat. Back to using this first one to test the perf+bpf infrastructure: If we run it will fail, as no functions are present connecting with, say, a tracepoint or a function using the kprobes or uprobes infrastructure: # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c WARNING: event parser found nothing invalid or unsupported event: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf trace [] [] or: perf trace [] -- [] or: perf trace record [] [] or: perf trace record [] -- [] -e, --event event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events # But, if we set things up to dump the generated object file to a file, and do this after having run 'make install', still on the developer's $HOME directory: # cat ~/.perfconfig [llvm] dump-obj = true # # perf trace -e ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c LLVM: dumping /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o WARNING: event parser found nothing invalid or unsupported event: '/home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c' # We can look at the dumped object file: # ls -la ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 576 May 4 12:10 /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o # file ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, *unknown arch 0xf7* version 1 (SYSV), not stripped # readelf -sw ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o Symbol table '.symtab' contains 3 entries: Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name 0: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND 1: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 3 _license 2: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 4 _version # # tools/bpf/bpftool/bpftool --pretty ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o null # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-y7dkhakejz3013o0w21n98xd@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
