The event copy in the mmap is used to have storage to read an event. Not
all users of mmaps read the events, such as perf record. The amount of
buffer was also statically set to PERF_SAMPLE_MAX_SIZE rather than the
amount necessary from the header's event size.
Switch to a model where the event_copy is reallocated if too small to
the event's size. This adds the potential for the event to move, so if a
copy of the event pointer were stored it could be broken. All the
current users do:
while(event = perf_mmap__read_event()) { ... }
and so they would be broken due to the event being overwritten if they
had stored the pointer. Manual inspection and address sanitizer testing
also shows the event pointer not being stored.

There are functions using __u64, so we need to have the linux/types.h
header otherwise we'll break when its not included before api/io.h.

Martin reported that there is a libbpf complaining of non-zero-value tail
padding with LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET macro if struct bpf_netkit_opts is modified
to have a 4-byte tail padding. This only happens to clang compiler.
The commend line is: ./test_progs -t tc_netkit_multi_links
Martin and I did some investigation and found this indeed the case and
the following are the investigation details.
Clang:
clang version 18.0.0
<I tried clang15/16/17 and they all have similar results>
tools/lib/bpf/libbpf_common.h:
#define LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(NAME, ...) \
do { \
memset(&NAME, 0, sizeof(NAME)); \
NAME = (typeof(NAME)) { \
.sz = sizeof(NAME), \
__VA_ARGS__ \
}; \
} while (0)
#endif
tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.h:
struct bpf_netkit_opts {
/* size of this struct, for forward/backward compatibility */
size_t sz;
__u32 flags;
__u32 relative_fd;
__u32 relative_id;
__u64 expected_revision;
size_t :0;
};
#define bpf_netkit_opts__last_field expected_revision
In the above struct bpf_netkit_opts, there is no tail padding.
prog_tests/tc_netkit.c:
static void serial_test_tc_netkit_multi_links_target(int mode, int target)
{
...
LIBBPF_OPTS(bpf_netkit_opts, optl);
...
LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
.flags = BPF_F_BEFORE,
.relative_fd = bpf_program__fd(skel->progs.tc1),
);
...
}
Let us make the following source change, note that we have a 4-byte
tailing padding now.

At -O0 level, the clang compiler creates an intermediate copy.
We have below to store 'flags' with 4-byte store and leave another 4 byte
in the same 8-byte-aligned storage undefined,
5629: c7 85 28 fd ff ff 08 00 00 00 movl $0x8, -0x2d8(%rbp)
and later we store 8-byte to the original zero'ed buffer
5654: 48 8b 85 28 fd ff ff movq -0x2d8(%rbp), %rax
565b: 48 89 45 b0 movq %rax, -0x50(%rbp)
This caused a problem as the 4-byte value at [%rbp-0x2dc, %rbp-0x2e0)
may be garbage.
gcc (gcc 11.4) does not have this issue as it does zeroing struct first before
doing assignments:
; LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET(optl,
50fd: 48 8d 85 40 fc ff ff leaq -0x3c0(%rbp), %rax
5104: ba 20 00 00 00 movl $0x20, %edx

It is not clear how to resolve the compiler code generation as the compiler
generates correct code w.r.t. how to handle unnamed padding in C standard.
So this patch changed LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET macro to avoid uninitialized tail
padding. We already knows LIBBPF_OPTS macro works on both gcc and clang,
even with tail padding. So LIBBPF_OPTS_RESET is changed to be a
LIBBPF_OPTS followed by a memcpy(), thus avoiding uninitialized tail padding.
The below is asm code generated with this patch and with clang compiler:

; link = bpf_program__attach_netkit(skel->progs.tc2, ifindex, &optl);
In the above code, a temporary buffer is zeroed and then has proper value assigned.
Finally, values in temporary buffer are copied to the original variable buffer,
hence tail padding is guaranteed to be 0.

Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"Build:
- Compile BPF programs by default if clang (>= 12.0.1) is available
to enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu
profiling, kwork, sample filtering and so on.
This can be disabled by passing BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.
- Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make
DEBUG=1) by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.
perf record:
- Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf
record targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise
it may lose some information happened on a CPU out of the target
list.
- Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the
raw tracepoint.
perf lock contention:
- Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should
be used with BPF only (using -b option).
$ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait cgroup
835 14.06 ms 41.19 us 16.83 us /system.slice/led.service
25 122.38 us 13.77 us 4.89 us /
44 23.73 us 3.87 us 539 ns /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope
1 491 ns 491 ns 491 ns /system.slice/connectd.service
- Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given
cgroups.
This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above
command and want to investigate more on it. It also works with
other output options like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.
$ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller
8 77.11 us 17.98 us 9.64 us spinlock futex_wake+0xc8
2 24.56 us 14.66 us 12.28 us spinlock tick_do_update_jiffies64+0x25
1 4.97 us 4.97 us 4.97 us spinlock futex_q_lock+0x2a
- Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a
lock in the BPF hash map.
- Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller
of a lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup
when it sees 0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call
stacks can have 0 values in the beginning so skip them when it
expects valid call stacks after.
perf kwork:
- Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task
scheduling event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and
workqueue items.
- Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization
with sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using
perf kwork record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf
top command, it does not support interactive mode (yet).
$ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched

perf bench:
- Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
switch between two different cgroups.
Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to
accurately measure the impact of cgroup context switches.
$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 0.307 [sec]
3.078180 usecs/op
324867 ops/sec
Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':
200,026 context-switches
63 cgroup-switches
0.321637922 seconds time elapsed
You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and
read tasks are in the same cgroup.
$ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}
$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes

200,020 context-switches
200,019 cgroup-switches
0.365034567 seconds time elapsed
Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you
can see the pipe operation took little more.
- Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited
abnormally. Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.
perf test:
- Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.
- Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
- object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
- CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
- lock contention test if not enough CPUs.
Event parsing:
- Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
case.
- Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.
- Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it
clashes with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has
hex-digits.
For example, an event named 'read' should be processed as a normal
event but it was mis-treated as a raw encoding and caused a
failure.
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
Event metrics:
- Add "Compat" regex to match event with multiple identifiers.
- Usual updates for Intel, Power10, Arm telemetry/CMN and AmpereOne.
Misc:
- Assorted memory leak fixes and footprint reduction.
- Add "bpf_skeletons" to perf version --build-options so that users
can check whether their perf tools have BPF support easily.
- Fix unaligned access in Intel-PT packet decoder found by
undefined-behavior sanitizer.
- Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event. Surprisingly it'd impact
kernel timer tick handler performance by force iterating all PMU
events.
- Update bash shell completion for events and metrics"

This adds bpf_program__attach_netkit() API to libbpf. Overall it is very
similar to tcx. The API looks as following:
LIBBPF_API struct bpf_link *
bpf_program__attach_netkit(const struct bpf_program *prog, int ifindex,
const struct bpf_netkit_opts *opts);
The struct bpf_netkit_opts is done in similar way as struct bpf_tcx_opts
for supporting bpf_mprog control parameters. The attach location for the
primary and peer device is derived from the program section "netkit/primary"
and "netkit/peer", respectively.

Fix too eager assumption that SHT_GNU_verdef ELF section is going to be
present whenever binary has SHT_GNU_versym section. It seems like either
SHT_GNU_verdef or SHT_GNU_verneed can be used, so failing on missing
SHT_GNU_verdef actually breaks use cases in production.
One specific reported issue, which was used to manually test this fix,
was trying to attach to `readline` function in BASH binary.

Golang symbols in ELF files are different from C/C++
which contains special characters like '*', '(' and ')'.
With generics, things get more complicated, there are
symbols like:
github.com/cilium/ebpf/internal.(*Deque[go.shape.interface { Format(fmt.State, int32); TypeName() string;github.com/cilium/ebpf/btf.copy() github.com/cilium/ebpf/btf.Type}]).Grow
Matching such symbols using `%m[^\n]` in sscanf, this
excludes newline which typically does not appear in ELF
symbols. This should work in most use-cases and also
work for unicode letters in identifiers. If newline do
show up in ELF symbols, users can still attach to such
symbol by specifying bpf_uprobe_opts::func_name.
A working example can be found at this repo ([0]).

In current implementation, we assume that symbol found in .dynsym section
would have a version suffix and use it to compare with symbol user supplied.
According to the spec ([0]), this assumption is incorrect, the version info
of dynamic symbols are stored in .gnu.version and .gnu.version_d sections
of ELF objects. For example:
$ nm -D /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock
000000000009b1a0 T __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34
000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
$ readelf -W --dyn-syms /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock
706: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
2568: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34
2571: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
In this case, specify pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34 or
pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5 in bpf_uprobe_opts::func_name won't work.
Because the qualified name does NOT match `pthread_rwlock_wrlock` (without
version suffix) in .dynsym sections.
This commit implements the symbol versioning for dynsym and allows user to
specify symbol in the following forms:
- func
- func@LIB_VERSION
- func@@LIB_VERSION
In case of symbol conflicts, error out and users should resolve it by
specifying a qualified name.

Dynamic symbols in shared library may have the same name, for example:
$ nm -D /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock
000000000009b1a0 T __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34
000000000009b1a0 T pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
$ readelf -W --dyn-syms /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 | grep rwlock_wrlock
706: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 __pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
2568: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@@GLIBC_2.34
2571: 000000000009b1a0 878 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 15 pthread_rwlock_wrlock@GLIBC_2.2.5
Currently, users can't attach a uprobe to pthread_rwlock_wrlock because
there are two symbols named pthread_rwlock_wrlock and both are global
bind. And libbpf considers it as a conflict.
Since both of them are at the same offset we could accept one of them
harmlessly. Note that we already does this in elf_resolve_syms_offsets.

Add support to libbpf to append exception callbacks when loading a
program. The exception callback is found by discovering the declaration
tag 'exception_callback:<value>' and finding the callback in the value
of the tag.
The process is done in two steps. First, for each main program, the
bpf_object__sanitize_and_load_btf function finds and marks its
corresponding exception callback as defined by the declaration tag on
it. Second, bpf_object__reloc_code is modified to append the indicated
exception callback at the end of the instruction iteration (since
exception callback will never be appended in that loop, as it is not
directly referenced).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools
Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
"perf tools maintainership:
- Add git information for perf-tools and perf-tools-next trees and
branches to the MAINTAINERS file. That is where development now
takes place and myself and Namhyung Kim have write access, more
people to come as we emulate other maintainer groups.
perf record:
- Record kernel data maps when 'perf record --data' is used, so that
global variables can be resolved and used in tools that do data
profiling.
perf trace:
- Remove the old, experimental support for BPF events in which a .c
file was passed as an event: "perf trace -e hello.c" to then get
compiled and loaded.
The only known usage for that, that shipped with the kernel as an
example for such events, augmented the raw_syscalls tracepoints and
was converted to a libbpf skeleton, reusing all the user space
components and the BPF code connected to the syscalls.
In the end just the way to glue the BPF part and the user space
type beautifiers changed, now being performed by libbpf skeletons.
The next step is to use BTF to do pretty printing of all syscall
types, as discussed with Alan Maguire and others.
Now, on a perf built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 we get most if not all
path/filenames/strings, some of the networking data structures,
perf_event_attr, etc, i.e. systemwide tracing of nanosleep calls
and perf_event_open syscalls while 'perf stat' runs 'sleep' for 5
seconds:

- Building with binutils' libopcode now is opt-in (BUILD_NONDISTRO=1)
for licensing reasons, and we missed a build test on
tools/perf/tests makefile.
Since we now default to NDEBUG=1, we ended up segfaulting when
building with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 because a needed initialization
routine was being "error checked" via an assert.
Fix it by explicitly checking the result and aborting instead if it
fails.
We better back propagate the error, but at least 'perf annotate' on
samples collected for a BPF program is back working when perf is
built with BUILD_NONDISTRO=1.
perf report/top:
- Add back TUI hierarchy mode header, that is seen when using 'perf
report/top --hierarchy'.
- Fix the number of entries for 'e' key in the TUI that was
preventing navigation of lines when expanding an entry.
perf report/script:
- Support cross platform register handling, allowing a perf.data file
collected on one architecture to have registers sampled correctly
displayed when analysis tools such as 'perf report' and 'perf
script' are used on a different architecture.
- Fix handling of event attributes in pipe mode, i.e. when one uses:
perf record -o - | perf report -i -
When no perf.data files are used.
- Handle files generated via pipe mode with a version of perf and
then read also via pipe mode with a different version of perf,
where the event attr record may have changed, use the record size
field to properly support this version mismatch.
perf probe:
- Accessing global variables from uprobes isn't supported, make the
error message state that instead of stating that some minimal
kernel version is needed to have that feature. This seems just a
tool limitation, the kernel probably has all that is needed.
perf tests:
- Fix a reference count related leak in the dlfilter v0 API where the
result of a thread__find_symbol_fb() is not matched with an
addr_location__exit() to drop the reference counts of the resolved
components (machine, thread, map, symbol, etc). Add a dlfilter test
to make sure that doesn't regresses.
- Lots of fixes for the 'perf test' written in shell script related
to problems found with the shellcheck utility.
- Fixes for 'perf test' shell scripts testing features enabled when
perf is built with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1, such as 'perf stat' bpf
counters.
- Add perf record sample filtering test, things like the following
example, that gets implemented as a BPF filter attached to the
event:
# perf record -e task-clock -c 10000 --filter 'ip < 0xffffffff00000000'
- Improve the way the task_analyzer test checks if libtraceevent is
linked, using 'perf version --build-options' instead of the more
expensinve 'perf record -e "sched:sched_switch"'.
- Add support for riscv in the mmap-basic test. (This went as well
via the RiscV tree, same contents).
libperf:
- Implement riscv mmap support (This went as well via the RiscV tree,
same contents).
perf script:
- New tool that converts perf.data files to the firefox profiler
format so that one can use the visualizer at
https://profiler.firefox.com/. Done by Anup Sharma as part of this
year's Google Summer of Code.
One can generate the output and upload it to the web interface but
Anup also automated everything:
