[PATCH 07/19] perf bpf: Automatically create bpf-output event __bpf_stdout__

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com>

This patch removes the need to set a bpf-output event in cmdline.  By
referencing a map named '__bpf_stdout__', perf automatically creates an
event for it.

For example:

  # perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
  # perf script
           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.307826:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff810eb9a1 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

           usleep  4639 [000] 261895.407883:        0            __bpf_stdout__:  ffffffff8105d609 ...
       BPF output: 0000: 52 61 69 73 65 20 61 20  Raise a
                   0008: 42 50 46 20 65 76 65 6e  BPF even
                   0010: 74 21 00 00              t!..
       BPF string: "Raise a BPF event!"

  perf record -e ./test_bpf_trace.c usleep 100000

  equals to:

  perf record -e bpf-output/no-inherit=1,name=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              -e ./test_bpf_trace.c/map:__bpf_stdout__.event=__bpf_stdout__/ \
              usleep 100000

Where test_bpf_trace.c is:

  /************************ BEGIN **************************/
  #include <uapi/linux/bpf.h>
  struct bpf_map_def {
         unsigned int type;
         unsigned int key_size;
         unsigned int value_size;
         unsigned int max_entries;
  };
  #define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
  static u64 (*ktime_get_ns)(void) =
         (void *)BPF_FUNC_ktime_get_ns;
  static int (*trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) =
         (void *)BPF_FUNC_trace_printk;
  static int (*get_smp_processor_id)(void) =
         (void *)BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id;
  static int (*perf_event_output)(void *, struct bpf_map_def *, int, void *, unsigned long) =
         (void *)BPF_FUNC_perf_event_output;

  struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") __bpf_stdout__ = {
         .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
         .key_size = sizeof(int),
         .value_size = sizeof(u32),
         .max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
  };

  static inline int __attribute__((always_inline))
  func(void *ctx, int type)
  {
	char output_str[] = "Raise a BPF event!";
	char err_str[] = "BAD %d\n";
	int err;

        err = perf_event_output(ctx, &__bpf_stdout__, get_smp_processor_id(),
			        &output_str, sizeof(output_str));
	if (err)
		trace_printk(err_str, sizeof(err_str), err);
        return 1;
  }
  SEC("func_begin=sys_nanosleep")
  int func_begin(void *ctx) {return func(ctx, 1);}
  SEC("func_end=sys_nanosleep%return")
  int func_end(void *ctx) { return func(ctx, 2);}
  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  /************************* END ***************************/

Committer note:

Testing with 'perf trace':

  # trace -e nanosleep --ev test_bpf_stdout.c usleep 1
     0.007 ( 0.007 ms): usleep/729 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc5bbc5fe0) ...

     0.008 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_begin:(ffffffff81112460))
     0.069 (         ): __bpf_stdout__:Raise a BPF event!..)
     0.070 (         ): perf_bpf_probe:func_end:(ffffffff81112460 <- ffffffff81003d92))
     0.072 ( 0.072 ms): usleep/729  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
