2023-08-15 | perf parse-events: Remove BPF event support | Ian Rogers | 1 | -51/+0 | |
New features like the BPF --filter support in perf record have made the BPF event functionality somewhat redundant. As shown by commit fcb027c1a4f6 ("perf tools: Revert enable indices setting syntax for BPF map") and commit 14e4b9f4289a ("perf trace: Raw augmented syscalls fix libbpf 1.0+ compatibility") the BPF event support hasn't been well maintained and it adds considerable complexity in areas like event parsing, not least as '/' is a separator for event modifiers as well as in paths. This patch removes support in the event parser for BPF events and then the associated functions are removed. This leads to the removal of whole source files like bpf-loader.c. Removing support means that augmented syscalls in perf trace is broken, this will be fixed in a later commit adding support using BPF skeletons. The removal of BPF events causes an unused label warning from flex generated code, so update build to ignore it: ``` util/parse-events-flex.c:2704:1: error: label ‘find_rule’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-label] 2704 | find_rule: /* we branch to this label when backing up */ ``` Committer notes: Extracted from a larger patch that was also removing the support for linking with libllvm and libclang, that were an alternative to using an external clang execution to compile the .c event source code into BPF bytecode. Testing it: # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c' \___ Bad event or PMU Unabled to find PMU or event on a PMU of 'home' Initial error: event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c' \___ Cannot find PMU `home'.

2016-01-26 | perf test: Add libbpf relocation checker | Wang Nan | 1 | -0/+50 | |
There's a bug in LLVM that it can generate unneeded relocation information. See [1] and [2]. Libbpf should check the target section of a relocation symbol. This patch adds a testcase which references a global variable (BPF doesn't support global variables). Before fixing libbpf, the new test case can be loaded into kernel, the global variable acts like the first map. It is incorrect. Result: # ~/perf test BPF 37: Test BPF filter : 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Ok 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : FAILED! # ~/perf test -v BPF ... libbpf: loading object '[bpf_relocation_test]' from buffer libbpf: section .strtab, size 126, link 0, flags 0, type=3 libbpf: section .text, size 0, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: section .data, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: section .bss, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=8 libbpf: section func=sys_write, size 104, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: found program func=sys_write libbpf: section .relfunc=sys_write, size 16, link 10, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: section maps, size 16, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: maps in [bpf_relocation_test]: 16 bytes libbpf: section license, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: license of [bpf_relocation_test] is GPL libbpf: section version, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: kernel version of [bpf_relocation_test] is 40400 libbpf: section .symtab, size 144, link 1, flags 0, type=2 libbpf: map 0 is "my_table" libbpf: collecting relocating info for: 'func=sys_write' libbpf: relocation: insn_idx=7 Success unexpectedly: libbpf error when dealing with relocation test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Test BPF filter subtest 2: FAILED!
