H A Dbpf_prog_profiler.bpf.cfa853c4b Tue Dec 29 15:42:14 CST 2020 Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> perf stat: Enable counting events for BPF programs

Introduce 'perf stat -b' option, which counts events for BPF programs, like:

[root@localhost ~]# ~/perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles
1.487903822 86,012 cycles
2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles
2.489147029 73,784 cycles
3.490341825 60,720 ref-cycles
3.490341825 37,797 cycles
4.491540887 37,120 ref-cycles
4.491540887 31,963 cycles

The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id
254. This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.

'perf stat -b' creates per-cpu perf_event and loads fentry/fexit BPF
programs (monitor-progs) to the target BPF program (target-prog). The
monitor-progs read perf_event before and after the target-prog, and
aggregate the difference in a BPF map. Then the user space reads data
from these maps.

A new 'struct bpf_counter' is introduced to provide a common interface
that uses BPF programs/maps to count perf events.

Committer notes:

Removed all but bpf_counter.h includes from evsel.h, not needed at all.

Also BPF map lookups for PERCPU_ARRAYs need to have as its value receive
buffer passed to the kernel libbpf_num_possible_cpus() entries, not
evsel__nr_cpus(evsel), as the former uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible while the later uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online, which may be less than the 'possible'
number making the bpf map lookup overwrite memory and cause hard to
debug memory corruption.

We need to continue using evsel__nr_cpus(evsel) when accessing the
perf_counts array tho, not to overwrite another are of memory :-)

H A Devsel.cfa853c4b Tue Dec 29 15:42:14 CST 2020 Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> perf stat: Enable counting events for BPF programs

Introduce 'perf stat -b' option, which counts events for BPF programs, like:

[root@localhost ~]# ~/perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles
1.487903822 86,012 cycles
2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles
2.489147029 73,784 cycles
3.490341825 60,720 ref-cycles
3.490341825 37,797 cycles
4.491540887 37,120 ref-cycles
4.491540887 31,963 cycles

The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id
254. This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.

'perf stat -b' creates per-cpu perf_event and loads fentry/fexit BPF
programs (monitor-progs) to the target BPF program (target-prog). The
monitor-progs read perf_event before and after the target-prog, and
aggregate the difference in a BPF map. Then the user space reads data
from these maps.

A new 'struct bpf_counter' is introduced to provide a common interface
that uses BPF programs/maps to count perf events.

Committer notes:

Removed all but bpf_counter.h includes from evsel.h, not needed at all.

Also BPF map lookups for PERCPU_ARRAYs need to have as its value receive
buffer passed to the kernel libbpf_num_possible_cpus() entries, not
evsel__nr_cpus(evsel), as the former uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible while the later uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online, which may be less than the 'possible'
number making the bpf map lookup overwrite memory and cause hard to
debug memory corruption.

We need to continue using evsel__nr_cpus(evsel) when accessing the
perf_counts array tho, not to overwrite another are of memory :-)
