This patch collects symbols section. This section is useful when linking
BPF maps.
What 'bpf_map_xxx()' functions actually require are map's file
descriptors (and the internal verifier converts fds into pointers to
'struct bpf_map'), which we don't know when compiling. Therefore, we
should make compiler generate a 'ldr_64 r1, <imm>' instruction, and
fill the 'imm' field with the actual file descriptor when loading in
libbpf.
BPF programs should be written in this way:
struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") my_map = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
.key_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
.value_size = sizeof(unsigned long),
.max_entries = 1000000,
};
SEC("my_func=sys_write")
int my_func(void *ctx)
{
...
bpf_map_update_elem(&my_map, &key, &value, BPF_ANY);
...
}
Compiler should convert '&my_map' into a 'ldr_64, r1, <imm>'
instruction, where imm should be the address of 'my_map'. According to
the address, libbpf knows which map it actually referenced, and then
fills the imm field with the 'fd' of that map created by it.
However, since we never really 'link' the object file, the imm field is
only a record in relocation section. Therefore libbpf should do the
relocation:
1. In relocation section (type == SHT_REL), positions of each such
'ldr_64' instruction are recorded with a reference of an entry in
symbol table (SHT_SYMTAB);
2. From records in symbol table we can find the indics of map
variables.
Libbpf first record SHT_SYMTAB and positions of each instruction which
required bu such operation. Then create file descriptor. Finally, after
map creation complete, replace the imm field.
This is the first patch of BPF map related stuff. It records SHT_SYMTAB
into object's efile field for further use.

If maps are used by eBPF programs, corresponding object file(s) should
contain a section named 'map'. Which contains map definitions. This
patch copies the data of the whole section. Map data parsing should be
acted just before map loading.

Expand bpf_obj_elf_collect() to collect license and kernel version
information in eBPF object file. eBPF object file should have a section
named 'license', which contains a string. It should also have a section
named 'version', contains a u32 LINUX_VERSION_CODE.
bpf_obj_validate() is introduced to validate object file after loaded.
Currently it only check existence of 'version' section.

Check endianness according to EHDR. Code is taken from
tools/perf/util/symbol-elf.c.
Libbpf doesn't magically convert missmatched endianness. Even if we swap
eBPF instructions to correct byte order, we are unable to deal with
endianness in code logical generated by LLVM.
Therefore, libbpf should simply reject missmatched ELF object, and let

To support dynamic compiling, this patch allows caller to pass a
in-memory buffer to libbpf by bpf_object__open_buffer(). libbpf calls
elf_memory() to open it as ELF object file.
Because __bpf_object__open() collects all required data and won't need
that buffer anymore, libbpf uses that buffer directly instead of clone a
new buffer. Caller of libbpf can free that buffer or use it do other
things after bpf_object__open_buffer() return.

This patch defines basic interface of libbpf. 'struct bpf_object' will
be the handler of each object file. Its internal structure is hide to
user. eBPF object files are compiled by LLVM as ELF format. In this
patch, libelf is used to open those files, read EHDR and do basic
validation according to e_type and e_machine.
All elf related staffs are grouped together and reside in efile field of
'struct bpf_object'. bpf_object__elf_finish() is introduced to clear it.
After all eBPF programs in an object file are loaded, related ELF
information is useless. Close the object file and free those memory.
The zfree() and zclose() functions are introduced to ensure setting NULL
pointers and negative file descriptors after resources are released.

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.
Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.
Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.
To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.

Currently the value of a PMU config term is silently truncated if it is
too big. This is an impediment to validating the value for other
criteria later on i.e. the user provides an invalid value that gets
truncated to a valid one.
The maximum value validation is only done for the parser where the error
is passed back to the user. In other cases the silent truncation
continues so as not to affect tools that perhaps rely on it.

Compute the IPC and the basic block cycles for the annotate display.
IPC is computed by counting the instructions, and then dividing the
accounted cycles by that count.
The actual IPC computation can only be done at annotate time, because we
need to parse the objdump output first to know the number of
instructions in the basic block.
The cycles/IPC are also put into the perf function annotation so that
the display code can show them.
Again basic block overlaps are not handled, with the longest winning,
but there are some heuristics to hide the IPC when the longest is not
the most common.

This adds the basic infrastructure to keep track of cycle counts per
basic block for annotate. We allocate an array similar to the normal
accounting, and then account branch cycles there.
We handle two cases:
cycles per basic block with start and cycles per branch (these are later
used for either IPC or just cycles per BB)
In the start case we cannot handle overlaps, so always the longest basic
block wins.
For the cycles per branch case everything is accurately accounted.

By copying BPF related operation to uprobe processing path, this patch
allow users attach BPF programs to uprobes like what they are already
doing on kprobes.
After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a
uprobe perf event. Which make it possible to profile user space programs
and kernel events together using BPF.
Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by
CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT to ensure trace_call_bpf() is compiled even if
KPROBE_EVENT is not set.

Commit e1abf2cc8d ("bpf: Fix the build on
BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more configurable")
updated the building condition of bpf_trace.o from CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL
to CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS, but the corresponding #ifdef controller in
trace_events.h for trace_call_bpf() was not changed. Which, in theory,
is incorrect.
With current Kconfigs, we can create a .config with CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
and CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=n by unselecting CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT and
selecting CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL. With these options, trace_call_bpf() will
be defined as an extern function, but if anyone calls it a symbol missing
error will be triggered since bpf_trace.o was not built.
This patch changes the #ifdef controller for trace_call_bpf() from
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL to CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS. I'll show its correctness:
Before this patch:
BPF_SYSCALL BPF_EVENTS trace_call_bpf bpf_trace.o
y y normal compiled
n n inline not compiled
y n normal not compiled (incorrect)
n y impossible (BPF_EVENTS depends on BPF_SYSCALL)
After this patch:
BPF_SYSCALL BPF_EVENTS trace_call_bpf bpf_trace.o
y y normal compiled
n n inline not compiled
y n inline not compiled (fixed)
n y impossible (BPF_EVENTS depends on BPF_SYSCALL)
So this patch doesn't break anything. QED.

Without this patch, it is cumbersome to read the trace output but
ignoring the normal, potentially verbose, output of the debuggee. One
common example is doing something like the following:
perf trace -s find /tmp > /dev/null
Without this patch, the trace summary will be lost. Now, it will still
be printed at the end. This behavior is also applied by strace.

This patchkit adds the ability to turn off time stamps per event.
One usaful case for partial time is to work with per-event callgraph to
enable "PEBS threshold > 1" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/10/196), which
can significantly reduce the sampling overhead.
The event samples with time stamps off will not be ordered.

To work like strace and dereference syscall pointer args we need to
insert probes (or tracepoints) right after we copy those bytes from
userspace.
Since we're formatting the syscall args at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time,
we need to have a formatter that just stores the position where, later,
when we get the probe:vfs_getname, we can insert the pointer contents.
Now, if a probe:vfs_getname with this format is in place:
# perf probe -l
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@/home/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)
That was, in this case, put in place with:
# perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
Added new event:
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
#
Then 'perf trace' will notice that and do the pointer -> contents
expansion:
# trace -e open touch /tmp/bla
0.165 (0.010 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
0.195 (0.011 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
0.512 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
0.582 (0.012 ms): touch/17752 open(filename: /tmp/bla, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: 438) = 3
#
Roughly equivalent to strace's output:
# strace -rT -e open touch /tmp/bla
0.000000 open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000039>
0.000317 open("/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000102>
0.001461 open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 <0.000072>
0.000405 open("/tmp/bla", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3 <0.000055>
0.000641 +++ exited with 0 +++
#
Now we need to either look for at all syscalls that are marked as
pointers and have some well known names ("filename", "pathname", etc)
and set the arg formatter to the one used for the "open" syscall in this
patch.
This implementation works for syscalls with just a string being copied
from userspace, for matching syscalls with more than one string being
copied via the same probe/trace point (vfs_getname) we need to extend
the vfs_getname probe spec to include the pointer too, but there are
some problems with that in 'perf probe' or the kernel kprobes code, need
to investigate before considering supporting multiple strings per
syscall.

We were using it as a magic number, 1024, fix that.
Eventually we need to stop doing it per line, and do it per
arg, traversing the args at output time, to avoid the memmove()
calls that will be used in the next cset to replace pointers
present at raw_syscalls:sys_enter time with its contents that
appear at probe:vfs_getname time, before raw_syscalls:sys_exit
time.

The only way I can make this work is if ->status only has !PEBS events
set, because if it has both set we'll take that slow path which masks
out the !PEBS bits.
After masking there are 3 options:
- there is one bit set, and its @bit, we increment counts[bit].
- there are multiple bits set, we increment error[] for each set bit,
we do not increment counts[].
- there are no bits set, we do nothing.
The intent was to never increment counts[] for !PEBS events.
Now if we start out with only a single !PEBS event set, we'll pass the
test and increment counts[] for a !PEBS and hit the warn.
