perf record: Implement COMPRESSED event record and its attributes

2019-05-15T19:36:49Z

Implemented PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED event, related data types, header feature and functions to write, read and print feature attributes from the trace header section. comp_mmap_len preserves the size of mmaped kernel buffer that was used during collection. comp_mmap_len size is used on loading stage as the size of decomp buffer for decompression of COMPRESSED events content. Committer notes: Fixed up conflict with BPF_PROG_INFO and BTF_BTF header features.

perf tools: Add header defining used namespace struct to event.h

2019-04-01T17:49:24Z

When adding the 'struct namespaces_event' to event.h, referencing the 'struct perf_ns_link_info' type, we forgot to add the header where it is defined, getting that definition only by sheer luck.

perf auxtrace: Add timestamp to auxtrace errors

2019-02-06T14:20:32Z

The timestamp can use useful to find part of a trace that has an error without outputting all of the trace e.g. using the itrace 's' option to skip initial number of events.

perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT

2019-01-21T20:00:57Z

This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Tracking of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to turn it on. Committer notes: Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking the build in such systems. Remove the needless include from bpf->event.h, provide just forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets changed. Committer testing: When running with: # perf record --bpf-event On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels: perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 mmap 1 comm 1 freq 1 enable_on_exec 1 task 1 precise_ip 3 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 bpf_event 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid 5779 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22 switching off bpf_event ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 mmap 1 comm 1 freq 1 enable_on_exec 1 task 1 precise_ip 3 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid 5779 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22 switching off ksymbol ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD read_format ID disabled 1 inherit 1 mmap 1 comm 1 freq 1 enable_on_exec 1 task 1 precise_ip 3 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ And then proceeds to work without those two features. As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can be done on top of this patch. Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a' and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events: [root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ] [root@quaco ~]# bpftool prog 13: cgroup_skb tag 7be49e3934a125ba gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:43-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 13,14 14: cgroup_skb tag 2a142ef67aaad174 gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:43-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 13,14 15: cgroup_skb tag 7be49e3934a125ba gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:43-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 15,16 16: cgroup_skb tag 2a142ef67aaad174 gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:43-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 15,16 17: cgroup_skb tag 7be49e3934a125ba gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:44-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 17,18 18: cgroup_skb tag 2a142ef67aaad174 gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:44-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 17,18 21: cgroup_skb tag 7be49e3934a125ba gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:45-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 21,22 22: cgroup_skb tag 2a142ef67aaad174 gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:09:45-0300 uid 0 xlated 296B jited 229B memlock 4096B map_ids 21,22 31: tracepoint name sys_enter tag 12504ba9402f952f gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:19:56-0300 uid 0 xlated 512B jited 374B memlock 4096B map_ids 30,29,28 32: tracepoint name sys_exit tag c1bd85c092d6e4aa gpl loaded_at 2019-01-19T09:19:56-0300 uid 0 xlated 256B jited 191B memlock 4096B map_ids 30,29 # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT | nl 1 0 55834574849 0x4fc8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 13 2 0 60129542145 0x5118 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 14 3 0 64424509441 0x5268 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 15 4 0 68719476737 0x53b8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 16 5 0 73014444033 0x5508 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 17 6 0 77309411329 0x5658 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 18 7 0 90194313217 0x57a8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 21 8 0 94489280513 0x58f8 [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 22 9 7 620922484360 0xb6390 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 29 10 7 620922486018 0xb6410 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 2, flags 0, id 29 11 7 620922579199 0xb6490 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 30 12 7 620922580240 0xb6510 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 2, flags 0, id 30 13 7 620922765207 0xb6598 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 31 14 7 620922874543 0xb6620 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT bpf event with type 1, flags 0, id 32 # There, the 31 and 32 tracepoint BPF programs put in place by 'perf trace'.

perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL

2019-01-21T20:00:57Z

This patch handles PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL in perf record/report. Specifically, map and symbol are created for ksymbol register, and removed for ksymbol unregister. This patch also sets perf_event_attr.ksymbol properly. The flag is ON by default. Committer notes: Use proper inttypes.h for u64, fixing the build in some environments like in the android NDK r15c targetting ARM 32-bit. I.e. fixing this build error: util/event.c: In function 'perf_event__fprintf_ksymbol': util/event.c:1489:10: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'u64' [-Werror=format=] event->ksymbol_event.flags, event->ksymbol_event.name); ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Signed-off-by: Song Liu Reviewed-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Daniel Borkmann Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: kernel-team@fb.com Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190117161521.1341602-6-songliubraving@fb.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Allow specifying proc-map-timeout in config file

2018-12-17T17:56:57Z

The default timeout of 500ms for parsing /proc//maps files is too short for profiling many of our services. This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant command but it'd be nice to globally increase our default value. This patch permits setting a different default with the core.proc-map-timeout config file parameter.
