Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 00/37] perf tools: filtering events using eBPF programs
This is the 7th version which tries to introduce eBPF programs to perf.
It enables 'perf record' to filter events using eBPF programs like:
# perf record --event bpf-file.c sleep 1
and
# perf record --event bpf-file.o sleep 1
This patch series is based on tip/perf/core (028c63b).
Compare with v6 patch, this series totally refactor code for llvm
compiling '.c' into BPF object file using LLVM. Including:
1. A specific file tools/perf/util/llvm-utils.c is introduced for
holding all llvm/clang related work, instead of putting them into
bpf-loader.c.
2. Automatically detect kernel include options by embedded shell
script.
3. Use command line template to generate compiler commands instead of
assemble cmdline with printf, passing variables using environment.
Which enable users to define their own compiler commands.
4. Introduce '[llvm]' section to perf default config.
5 options can be configured, but all of them can be omitted:
[llvm]
# Path to clang. If omit, search it from $PATH.
clang-path = "/path/to/clang"
# Cmdline template. Following line shows its default value.
# Environment variable is used to passing options.
clang-bpf-cmd-template = "$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS $KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS -Wno-unused-value -Wno-pointer-sign -working-directory $WORKING_DIR -c $CLANG_SOURCE -target bpf -O2 -o -"
# Option passed to clang, will be passed to cmdline by $CLANG_OPTIONS.
clang-opt = "-Wno-unused-value -Wno-pointer-sign"
# kbuild directory. If not set, use /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build.
# If set to "" deliberately, skip kernel header auto-detector.
kbuild-dir = "/path/to/kernel/build"
# Options passed to 'make' when detecting kernel header options.
kbuild-opts = "ARCH=x86_64"
Command line options '--clang-path' and '--clang-opt' is appended to
'perf record'.
5. LLVM and BPF opening testcase is adding into 'perf test':
# perf test 37
37: Test LLVM searching and compiling : Ok
6. Warning and error messages improvement.
7. Issue clang command suit for newest clang which support
'-target bpf', instead of calling
'clang -emit-llvm | llc -march=bpf' pipe.
Other improvements including:
1. Add ../lib/bpf into TAG_FOLDERS in tools/perf/Makefile.perf.
2. Fix dependency problem: when NO_LIBBPF=1 is set don't compile
libbpf.
3. Suppress misleading messages printed during probing.
4. In perf record, when bpf__probe failed, goto out_symbol_exit instead
of directly return.
In this series:
Patch 1/37 adds a feature check to check version of eBPF API.
Patch 2/37 - 21/37 introduce libbpf, which first parse eBPF object
files then load maps and programs into kernel. These patches are
already received 'Acked-by' from Alexei Starovoitov except patch
5/32, which enables opening a memory-based object file image using
bpf_object__open_buffer().
Patch 22/37 - 37/37 are perf related. Patch 23/37 - 27/37 are
llvm-utils, which does most of new stuffs in this series.
Patch 29/37 use functions defined previously to dynamically
compile scriptlets.
Patch 36/37 suppresses misleading messages printed during probing.
Patch 37/37 adds new options to 'perf record'.
