[RFC PATCH v9 00/50] perf tools: filtering events using eBPF programs
From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Jun 26 2015 - 10:29:07 EST
This is the 9th version which tries to introduce eBPF programs to perf.
This patchset combined with 2 patchset I posted:
1. V8 of 'perf tools: filtering events using eBPF programs';
2. 'tracing, perf tools: Attach BPF program on uprobe events'
And patch 'tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to uprobes' is
promoted to 1/50 since it belongs to kernel.
As Alexei's suggestion, I squashed some patches together in order to
make patchset simpler. The affected patches including:
Patch 19/50: merged with 'bpf tools: Load instructions buffer using load_program()';
Patch 35/50: merged with 'perf tools: Generate prologue for BPF programs'.
In this version I corrected many coding style problems found by
checkpatch.pl. Most of them are minor change except patch 45/50, which
checkpatch doesn't allow me to use goto statement in a macro, so I have
to redesign error processing when prologue too long.
Other changes including:
1. Correct compiling problem when CONFIG_BPF_PROLOGUE not set;
2. Config options for each BPF program is changed to 'key=value' from
'key:value';
3. Improve error message when config string error (Patch 50/50).
The 50 patches can be divided into following groups:
1. Patch 1/50 belog to kernel, which has been accepted by Alexei.
2. Patch 2/50 - 38/50 add basic BPF support to perf, which is from my
v7 patch, only style correction and patch squashing is take place
in this version.
3. Patch 39/50 - 48/50 add BPF prologue support which allow BPF programs
to read kernel data.
4. Patch 49/50 - 50/50 are perf side code which allow attach BPF programs
on uprobe event.
To demonstrate the feature of the new patchset, I attach a sample eBPF
program below. This program can be used to analysis some fprintf,
tracing the userspace call and related kernel actions. Note that in
kernal event selector, we are allowed to use glob matching to match vfs_write
and vfs_writev together. For both of them we are allowed to check a internal
field of 'struct file'.
SEC(
"target=/lib64/libc.so.6\n"
"libcprintf=_IO_vfprintf_internal"
)
int libcprintf(void *ctx)
{
char fmt[] = "libc printf\n";
bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt));
return 1;
}
SEC("syswrite=vfs_write* file->f_mode")
int vfswrite(void *ctx, int err, unsigned long f_mode)
{
char fmt[] = "vfs_write, f_mode=%lx\n";
bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), f_mode);
if (f_mode & FMODE_READ)
return 1;
return 0;
}
char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
/* 4.1.0 */
u32 _version SEC("version") = 0x40100;
