[PATCH] perf parse: Allow names to start with digits

[PATCH] perf parse: Allow names to start with digits

[Dominique Martinet]

Tracepoints can start with digits, although we don't have many of these:

$ rg -g '*.h' '\bTRACE_EVENT\([0-9]'
net/mac802154/trace.h
53:TRACE_EVENT(802154_drv_return_int,
...

net/ieee802154/trace.h
66:TRACE_EVENT(802154_rdev_add_virtual_intf,
...

include/trace/events/9p.h
124:TRACE_EVENT(9p_client_req,
...

Just allow names to start with digits too so e.g. perf probe -e '9p:*'
works

Re: [PATCH] perf parse: Allow names to start with digits

[Dominique Martinet]

Hello,

just making sure my mail didn't get lost -- would anyone have time to
look at this?

I don't mind if it's slow or another solution is taken, I'd just like to
be able to use 9p probes with perf eventually :)

Thanks!

Jiri, seems ok, can you please review?

I thought it'd clash with events like cpu/event=3/,
but lexer check numbers first, so we're fine there

it smells like it could break some events, but I couldn't
find any case of that

could you please at least add tests to tests/parse-events.c
for such case?

thanks,
jirka

hmm, I'd love to but on my system I have no events that start with a
number unless I manually modprobe 9pnet (or 802154 stuff), so tests
would start failing for most people and I don't think we want that...

I have confirmed the following 'perf test "event parsing"' works iff
patch is applied and 9pnet loaded:

not sure if there'd be any other way of testing, there's nothing else in
'perf list' that starts with a number.

maybe we could do it same way we did for fake pmu events like below

hmm, I'll have to defer to you on that honestly.

It looks good to me though and I've tested your diff (test succeeds even
with 9pnet module unloaded).

Just a note though, this makes test no longer checks the sys event
directories exist for all other tests in these arrays (test__events,
test__events_pmu and test__hybrid_events); if we have guarantees the
probes exist I believe at least a few should keep checking the format
path correctly.
It might be worth adding a check_format flag to test_event() and add a
new list that doesn't check formats just for 9p?

If you're ok with that I can resend this as three patches: my original
patch, a patch with your diff and test_event() keeping current
behaviour, and a last patch adding that last flag and testing 9p without
format check.

(and if you don't think it's worth checking probe existence same thing
but even simpler)

format provides only id which we don't check for tracepoints

I have that patch split into 2 separated changes,
I'll try to send it later today

It's been a while (I had totally forgotten), but I don't think I saw
this patch.

For reminder you've requested that I add some test for a tracepoint
starting with digits e.g. 9p:9p_client_res but there's nothing commonly
available to use there, so you added a way to only check without
checking if a backing tracepoint exist, but I see no trace of the update
you sent here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/YsGduWiTvkM2/tHv@krava/

Should I take it, do the split you suggested and send it together with a
resend of my original patch and new test?

Sorry for the lack of reply -- I have no opinion on this as long as we
can use digits.
I can't imagine any probe starting with . or !, but that does not seem
to create any ambiguity with the rest of the grammar that I can see
either so I think it'd be fine, but I'm not comfortable deciding.

ah, it fell through the cracks, sry.. if you could resend it,
that'd be great

Perhaps this would be cleaner as:
name           [a-zA-Z0-9_*?\[\]!]+
except that would allow a name to start with an exclamation. Would
that be an issue?
