In some cases, a symbol may have multiple aliases. Attempting to add an
entry probe for such symbols results in a probe being added at an
incorrect location while it fails altogether for return probes. This is
only applicable for binaries with debug information.
During the arch-dependent post-processing, the offset from the start of
the symbol at which the probe is to be attached is determined and added
to the start address of the symbol to get the probe's location. In case
there are multiple aliases, this offset gets added multiple times for
each alias of the symbol and we end up with an incorrect probe location.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system as shown below.
$ nm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux | grep "sys_open$"
...
c000000000414290 T __se_sys_open

For both the entry probe and the return probe, the probe location
should be _text+4276888 (0xc000000000414298). Since another alias
exists for 'sys_open', the post-processing code will end up adding
the offset (8 for powerpc64le) twice and perf will attempt to add
the probe at _text+4276896 (0xc0000000004142a0) instead.

Threads share map_groups, all map events are merged into it.
Thus we could send mmaps only for thread group leader. Otherwise it
took ages to attach and record something from processes with many vmas
and threads.
Thread group leader could be already dead, but it seems perf cannot
handle this case anyway.
Testing dummy:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void *thread(void *arg) {
pause();
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
int threads = 10000;
int vmas = 50000;
pthread_t th;
for (int i = 0; i < threads; i++)

We actualy synthesize the group leader (if we found one) for the thread
even if it's not present in the thread_map, so the process maps are

We just check that the evsel is the one we associated with the
bpf-output event associated with the "__augmented_syscalls__" eBPF map,
to show that the formatting is done properly:

Now we just need to get the full blown enter/exit handlers to check if the
evsel being processed is the augmented_syscalls one to go pick the pointer
payloads from the end of the payload.
We also need to state somehow what is the layout for multi pointer arg syscalls.
Also handy would be to have a BTF file with the struct definitions used in
syscalls, compact, generated at kernel built time and available for use in eBPF
programs.
Till we get there we can go on doing some manual coupling of the most relevant
syscalls with some hand built beautifiers.

The payload that is put in place by the eBPF script attached to
syscalls:sys_enter_openat (and other syscalls with pointers, in the
future) can be consumed by the existing sys_enter beautifiers if
evsel->priv is setup with a struct syscall_tp with struct tp_fields for
the 'syscall_id' and 'args' fields expected by the beautifiers, this
patch does just that.

Add an example BPF script that writes syscalls:sys_enter_openat raw
tracepoint payloads augmented with the first 64 bytes of the "filename"
syscall pointer arg.
Then catch it and print it just like with things written to the
"__bpf_stdout__" map associated with a PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT software
event, by just letting the default tracepoint handler in 'perf trace',
trace__event_handler(), to use bpf_output__fprintf(trace, sample), just
like it does with all other PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT events, i.e. just
do a dump on the payload, so that we can check if what is being printed
has at least the first 64 bytes of the "filename" arg:
The augmented_syscalls.c eBPF script:
# cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
#include <stdio.h>
struct bpf_map SEC("maps") __augmented_syscalls__ = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
.key_size = sizeof(int),
.value_size = sizeof(u32),
.max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
};
struct syscall_enter_openat_args {
unsigned long long common_tp_fields;

struct augmented_enter_openat_args {

#
So it will just prepare a raw_syscalls:sys_enter payload for the
"openat" syscall.
This will eventually be done for all syscalls with pointer args,
globally or just when the user asks, using some spec, which args of
which syscalls it wants "expanded" this way, we'll probably start with
just all the syscalls that have char * pointers with familiar names, the
ones we already handle with the probe:vfs_getname kprobe if it is in
place hooking the kernel getname_flags() function used to copy from user
the paths.
Running it we get:
# perf trace -e perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null

We need to go on optimizing this to avoid seding trash or zeroes in the

to keep things simple at this stage and make incremental progress, lets

This is part of an ongoing experimentation on making eBPF scripts as
consumed by perf to be as concise as possible and using familiar
concepts such as stdio.h functions, that end up just wrapping the
existing BPF functions, trying to hide as much boilerplate as possible
while using just conventions and C preprocessor tricks.

global-period, local-period, global-hits, local-hits
Examples:
$ perf annotate --percent-type period-local --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: local period)
$ perf annotate --percent-type hits-local --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: local hits)
$ perf annotate --percent-type hits-global --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: global hits)
$ perf annotate --percent-type period-global --stdio | head -1
Percent | Source code ... es, percent: global period)
The local/global keywords set if the percentage is computed in the scope
of the function (local) or the whole data (global).
The period/hits keywords set the base the percentage is computed on -
the samples period or the number of samples (hits).

bitmap_zero() is called after bitmap_alloc() in perf code. But
bitmap_alloc() internally uses calloc() which guarantees that allocated
area is zeroed. So following bitmap_zero is unneeded. Drop it.
This happened because of confusing name for bitmap allocator. It
should has name bitmap_zalloc instead of bitmap_alloc.
This series:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/18/841
introduces a new API for bitmap allocations in kernel, and functions
there are named correctly. Following patch propogates the API to tools,
and fixes naming issue.

Additional notes about the underlying hardware and software
implementation, provided by Hendrik Brueckner (see Link: below).
=============================================================================
The CPU-Measurement Facility (CPU-MF) provides a set of functions to obtain
performance information on the mainframe. Basically, it was introduced
with System z10 years ago for the z/Architecture, that means, 64-bit.
For Linux, there are two facilities of interest, counter facility and sampling
facility. The counter facility provides hardware counters for instructions,
cycles, crypto-activities, and many more.
The sampling facility is a hardware sampler that when started will write
samples at a particular interval into a sampling buffer. At some point,
for example, if a sample block is full, it generates an interrupt to collect
samples (while the sampler continues to run).
Few years ago, I started to provide the a perf PMU to use the counter
and sampling facilities. Recently, the device driver was updated to also
"export" the sampling buffer into the AUX area. Thomas now completed the
related perf work to interpret and process these AUX data.
If people are more interested in the sampling facility, they can have a

Now it looks just about the same as for the trace__sys_{enter,exit}.

Mapping "__syscall_nr" to "id" and setting up "args" from the offset of
"__syscall_nr" + sizeof(u64), as the payload for syscalls:* is the same
as for raw_syscalls:*, just the fields have different names.

To avoid having to ask libtraceevent to find a field by name when
handling each tracepoint event, we setup a struct syscall_tp with
a tp_field struct having an extractor function + the offset for the
"id", "args" and "ret" raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints.
Now that we want to do the same with syscalls:sys_{entry,exit}_NAME
individual syscall tracepoints, where we have "id" as "__syscall_nr" and
"args" as the actual series of per syscall parameters, we need more
flexibility from the routines that set up these pre-looked up syscall
tracepoint arg fields.
The next cset will use it.

Because raw_syscalls have the field for the syscall number as 'id' while
the syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}_NAME have it as __syscall_nr...
Since we want to support both for being able to enable just a
syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}_name instead of asking for
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} plus filters, make the method names for
each kind of tracepoint more explicit.

We were using the beautifiers only when processing the
raw_syscalls:sys_enter events, but we can as well use them for the
syscalls:sys_enter_NAME events, as the layout is the same.
Some more tweaking is needed as we're processing them straight away,
i.e. there is no buffering in the sys_enter_NAME event to wait for
things like vfs_getname to provide pointer contents and then flushing
at sys_exit_NAME, so we need to state in the syscall_arg that this
is unbuffered, just print the pointer values, beautifying just
non-pointer syscall args.
This just shows an alternative way of processing tracepoints, that we
will end up using when creating "tracepoint" payloads that already copy
pointer contents (or chunks of it, i.e. not the whole filename, but just
the end of it, not all the bf for a read/write, but just the start,
etc), directly in the kernel using eBPF.
E.g.:
# perf trace -e syscalls:*enter*sleep,*sleep sleep 1
0.303 ( ): syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep:rqtp: 0x7ffc93d5ecc0
0.305 (1000.229 ms): sleep/8746 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc93d5ecc0) = 0
# perf trace -e syscalls:*_*sleep,*sleep sleep 1
0.288 ( ): syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep:rqtp: 0x7ffecde87e40
0.289 ( ): sleep/8748 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffecde87e40) ...
1000.479 ( ): syscalls:sys_exit_nanosleep:0x0
0.289 (1000.208 ms): sleep/8748 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0

When the vfs_getname() wannabe tracepoint is in place:
# perf probe -l
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:73@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)
#
'perf trace' will use it to get the pathname when it is copied from
userspace to the kernel, right after syscalls:sys_enter_open, copied
in the 'probe:vfs_getname', stash it somewhere and then, at
syscalls:sys_exit_open time, if the 'open' return is not -1, i.e. a
successfull open syscall, associate that pathname to this return, i.e.
the fd.
We were not doing this for the 'openat' syscall, which would cause 'perf
trace' to fallback to using /proc to get the fd, change it so that we
use what we got from probe:vfs_getname, reducing the 'openat'
beautification process cost, ditching the syscalls performed to read
procfs state and avoiding some possible races in the process.

perf trace: (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Do not require --no-syscalls to suppress strace like output, i.e.
# perf trace -e sched:*switch
will show just sched:sched_switch events, not strace-like formatted
syscall events, use --syscalls to get the previous behaviour.
If instead:
# perf trace
is used, i.e. no events specified, then --syscalls is implied and
system wide strace like formatting will be applied to all syscalls.
The behaviour when just a syscall subset is used with '-e' is unchanged:
# perf trace -e *sleep,sched:*switch
will work as before: just the 'nanosleep' syscall will be strace-like
formatted plus the sched:sched_switch tracepoint event, system wide.
- Allow string table generators to use a default header dir, allowing
use of them without parameters to see the table it generates on
stdout, e.g.:
$ tools/perf/trace/beauty/kvm_ioctl.sh
static const char *kvm_ioctl_cmds[] = {
[0x00] = "GET_API_VERSION",
[0x01] = "CREATE_VM",

perf_event_attr.sample_type.
perf c2c: (Jiri Olsa)
