[GIT PULL 0/6] perf/ebpf basic integration
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Oct 29 2015 - 07:18:07 EST
Hi Ingo,
Please take a look at the changeset comments, I made notes in most of
them, this seems like a nice cutoff point to allow basic testing, by
developers, for the very basic integration of perf and ebpf, i.e. we can,
having a ready built object file, built with clang, be able to use it as a perf
event, passing it via -e/--event, etc.
Wang has lots more in the queue and I intend to work on them till I get
all reviewed/tested/merged, i.e. in the immediate future.
What do you think? Fair to get his smaller gulp now? Or do you want to
get it all the way with the code to get a .c file, build it, etc, that is
ready, but I haven't reviewed/tested yet?
Ah, this is on top of what I sent to you via perf/core yesterday.
Thanks,
- Arnaldo

perf/ebpf basic integration
Please see the changeset comments, but this is the very basic integration of
perf with libbpf that, given a .o file built for the 'bpf' target with clang,
will get it validated and loaded into the kernel via the sys_bpf syscall, which
can be seen using 'perf trace' to trace the whole thing looking just for the
bpf and perf_event_open syscalls:
# perf trace -e bpf,perf_event_open perf record -g --event /tmp/foo.o -a

More work is about to be reviewed, tested and merged that will allow the whole
process of going from a .c file to an .o file via clang, etc to be done
automagically. (Wang Nan)
