2018-05-15	perf bpf: Add probe() helper to reduce kprobes boilerplate	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	So that kprobe definitions become: int probe(function, variables)(void ctx, int err, var1, var2, ...) The existing 5sec.c, got converted and goes from: SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec") int func(void ctx, int err, long sec) { } To: int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void ctx, int err, long sec) { } If we decide to add tv_nsec as well, then it becomes: $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c #include <bpf.h> int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec rqtp->tv_nsec)(void ctx, int err, long sec, long nsec) { return sec == 5; } license(GPL); $ And if we run it, system wide as before and run some 'sleep' with values for the tv_nsec field, we get: # perf trace --no-syscalls -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c 0.000 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=100000000 9641.650 perf_bpf_probe:hrtimer_nanosleep:(ffffffff9811b5f0) tv_sec=5 tv_nsec=123450001 ^C# Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1v9r8f6ds5av0w9pcwpeknyl@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

2018-05-15	perf bpf: Add bpf.h to be used in eBPF proggies	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	So, the first helper is the one shortening a variable/function section attribute, from, for instance: char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL"; to: char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; Convert empty.c to that and it becomes: # cat ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c #include <bpf.h> char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL"; int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE; # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-zmeg52dlvy51rdlhyumfl5yf@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
