perf session: Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size

Vince reported that when fuzzing the userland perf tool with a bogus

Changing the return of fetch_mmaped_event() to ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) for that
case gets us out of that infinite loop.

perf report: Implement perf.data record decompression

zstd_init(, comp_level = 0) initializes decompression part of API only
hat now consists of zstd_decompress_stream() function.

The perf.data PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED records are decompressed using
zstd_decompress_stream() function into a linked list of mmaped memory
regions of mmap_comp_len size (struct decomp).

After decompression of one COMPRESSED record its content is iterated and
fetched for usual processing. The mmaped memory regions with
decompressed events are kept in the linked list till the tool process
termination.

When dumping raw records (e.g., perf report -D --header) file offsets of
events from compressed records are printed as zero.

Committer notes:

Since now we have support for processing PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED, we see
none, in raw form, like we saw in the previous patch commiter notes,
they were decompressed into the usual PERF_RECORD_{FORK,MMAP,COMM,etc}
records, we only see the stats for those PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED events,
and since I used the file generated in the commiter notes for the
previous patch, there they are, 2 compressed records:

$ perf report --header-only | grep cmdline
# cmdline : /home/acme/bin/perf record -z2 sleep 1
$ perf report -D | grep COMPRESS
COMPRESSED events: 2
COMPRESSED events: 0

perf report: Add stub processing of compressed events for -D

Committer note:

Split from a larger patch, this only dumps PERF_RECORD_COMPRESSED as
unhandled, so that when we introduce the record part in the next patch,
we don't see unhandled events when using 'perf record -D'.

Changed it so that we dump the event if the handler is just a stub, i.e.
for the case where we don't have ZSTD linked but we're processing a
perf.data file generated by a tool with that linked.

Also when failing to decompress we can't just dump the uncompressed
event and return 0, we have to propagate the error.

An -ENOMEM error is not reported in the GTK GUI. Instead this error
message pops up on the screen:

[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1

Processing events... [974K/3M]
Error:failed to process sample

0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68

However when I use the same perf.data file with --stdio it works:

[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf report -i perf.data.error68-1 --stdio \
| head -12

# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 76K of event 'cycles'
# Event count (approx.): 99056160000

2.19% kworker/u512:1- [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_likely_update

The sample precentage is a bit low.....

The GUI always fails in the FINISHED_ROUND event (68) and does not
indicate the reason why.

When happened is the following. Perf report calls a lot of functions and
down deep when a FINISHED_ROUND event is processed, these functions are
called:

perf_session__process_event()
+ perf_session__process_user_event()
+ process_finished_round()
+ ordered_events__flush()
+ __ordered_events__flush()
+ do_flush()
+ ordered_events__deliver_event()
+ perf_session__deliver_event()
+ machine__deliver_event()
+ perf_evlist__deliver_event()
+ process_sample_event()
+ hist_entry_iter_add() --> only called in GUI case!!!
+ hist_iter__report__callback()
+ symbol__inc_addr_sample()

Now this functions runs out of memory and
returns -ENOMEM. This is reported all the way up
until function

perf_session__process_event() returns to its caller, where -ENOMEM is
changed to -EINVAL and processing stops:

if ((skip = perf_session__process_event(session, event, head)) < 0) {
pr_err("%#" PRIx64 " [%#x]: failed to process type: %d\n",
head, event->header.size, event->header.type);
err = -EINVAL;
goto out_err;
}

This occurred in the FINISHED_ROUND event when it has to process some
10000 entries and ran out of memory.

This patch indicates the root cause and displays it in the status line
of ther perf report GUI.

Output before (on GUI status line):

0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68

Output after:

0xf4198 [0x8]: failed to process type: 68 [not enough memory]

Committer notes:

the 'skip' variable needs to be initialized to -EINVAL, so that when the
size is less than sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) we avoid this valid
compiler warning:

util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session__process_events’:
util/session.c:1936:7: error: ‘skip’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This patch saves bpf_prog_info for bpf programs loaded in the system.

So

perf bpf: Save bpf_prog_info in a rbtree in perf_env

bpf_prog_info contains information necessary to annotate bpf programs.

This patch saves bpf_prog_info for bpf programs loaded in the system.

Some big picture of the next few patches:

To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different
informations are needed:

1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT
3) bpf_prog_info
4) btf

Before this set, 1) and 2) in the list are already saved to perf.data
file. For BPF programs that are already loaded before perf run, 1) and 2)
are synthesized by perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). For short living
BPF programs, 1) and 2) are generated by kernel.

This set handles 3) and 4) from the list. Again, it is necessary to handle
existing BPF program and short living program separately.

This patch handles 3) for exising BPF programs while synthesizing 1) and
2) in perf_event__synthesize_bpf_events(). These data are stored in
perf_env. The next patch saves these data from perf_env to perf.data as
headers.

Similarly, the two patches after the next saves 4) of existing BPF
programs to perf_env and perf.data.

Another patch later will handle 3) and 4) for short living BPF programs
by monitoring 1) and 2) in a dedicate thread.

perf tools: Handle PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT

This patch adds basic handling of PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT. Tracking of
PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is OFF by default. Option --bpf-event is added to
turn it on.

Committer notes:

Add dummy machine__process_bpf_event() variant that returns zero for
systems without HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT, such as Alpine Linux, unbreaking
the build in such systems.

Remove the needless include <machine.h> from bpf->event.h, provide just
forward declarations for the structs and unions in the parameters, to
reduce compilation time and needless rebuilds when machine.h gets
changed.

Committer testing:

When running with:

# perf record --bpf-event

On an older kernel where PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT and PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
is not present, we fallback to removing those two bits from
perf_event_attr, making the tool to continue to work on older kernels:

perf_event_attr:
size 112
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD
read_format ID
disabled 1
inherit 1
mmap 1
comm 1
freq 1
enable_on_exec 1
task 1
precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1
exclude_guest 1
mmap2 1
comm_exec 1
ksymbol 1

sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22

perf_event_attr:

freq 1

task 1
precise_ip 3
sample_id_all 1

------------------------------------------------------------

And then proceeds to work without those two features.

As passing --bpf-event is an explicit action performed by the user, perhaps we
should emit a warning telling that the kernel has no such feature, but this can
be done on top of this patch.

Now with a kernel that supports these events, start the 'record --bpf-event -a'
and then run 'perf trace sleep 10000' that will use the BPF
augmented_raw_syscalls.o prebuilt (for another kernel version even) and thus
should generate PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT events:

[root@quaco ~]# perf record -e dummy -a --bpf-event
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.713 MB perf.data ]
