[PATCH perf/core v9 00/16] perf-probe --cache and SDT support

[PATCH perf/core v9 00/16] perf-probe --cache and SDT support

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is the 9th version of the patchset for probe-cache and 
initial SDT support.

The previous version is here; https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/14/107

This version just fixes 2 points according to Hemant's comment,
and split out the filename__readable() patch.

Changes in v9:
  - [1/16,2/16] split out the filename__readable()
  - [7/16] Fix to show which event is deleted.
  - [12/16] Update list_usage to show sdt option.

Thank you,

---

[PATCH perf/core v9 01/16] perf-symbol: Introduce filename__readable to check readability

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Introduce filename__readable to check readability by opening
the file directly. Since the access(R_OK) just checks the
readability based on real UID/GID, it is ignored that the
effective UID/GID and capabilities for some special file (e.g.
/proc/kcore).
filename__readable() directly opens given file with O_RDONLY
so that the kernel checks it by effective UID/GID and capabilities.

[PATCH perf/core v9 03/16] perf-buildid-cache: Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid
to store corresponding elf binary.
This also stores vdso in buildid/vdso, kallsyms in buildid/kallsyms.

Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds
or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id
cache it falls back to use it. (IOW, it is backward compatible)

 Changes in v7:
  - Move kallsyms buildid related code into build-id.c
    (as build_id_cache__kallsyms_path).
 Changes in v6:
  - Replace local __is_regular_file with is_regular_file in util.c.
    (Thank you Namhyung!)
  - Fix dso__build_id_is_kmod() to check symlink in buildid cache correctly.
 Changes in v5:
  - Support old style buildid caches.

[PATCH perf/core v9 05/16] perf probe: Use cache entry if possible

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

Before analyzing debuginfo, try to find a corresponding entry
from probe cache always. This does not depend on --cache,
the --cache enables to store/update cache, but looking up
the cache is always enabled.

 Changes in v6:
  - Remove fallback lookup routine by using function name
    as cached event name, because it should be done by following
    patch which supports %cached-event.

[PATCH perf/core v9 06/16] perf probe: Show all cached probes

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

perf probe --list shows all cached probes when --cache
is given. Each caches are shown with on which binary that
probed. e.g.
  -----
  # perf probe --cache vfs_read \$params
  # perf probe --cache -x /lib64/libc-2.17.so getaddrinfo \$params
  # perf probe --cache --list
  [kernel.kallsyms] (1466a0a250b5d0070c6d0f03c5fed30b237970a1):
  vfs_read $params
  /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so (c31ffe7942bfd77b2fca8f9bd5709d387a86d3bc):
  getaddrinfo $params
  -----
Note that $params requires debuginfo.

[PATCH perf/core v9 07/16] perf probe: Remove caches when --cache is given

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

perf-probe --del removes caches when --cache is given.
Note that the delete pattern is not same as normal events.

If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname"
works as expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached
probes doesn't have actual event name. In that case
 --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard is acceptable).
For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read $params",
you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.

 Changes in v9:
  - Fix to show which event is deleted (Thanks Hemant!)
 Changes in v4:
  - move del_perf_probe_caches() into builtin-probe.c since
    command-line related delete procedure is there now.

[PATCH perf/core v9 08/16] perf/sdt: ELF support for SDT

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in binaries.
When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with the help of assembler
directives identifies them and places them in the section ".note.stapsdt". To find
these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through this section and
parse the relevant details like the name, type and location of the marker. Also,
the original location could be skewed due to the effect of prelinking. If that is
the case, the locations need to be adjusted.

The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section, parse the
relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and populate them in a list.

A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows :


                                 |--nhdr.n_namesz--|
                ------------------------------------
                |      nhdr      |     "stapsdt"   |
        -----   |----------------------------------|
         |      |  <location>       <base_address> |
         |      |  <semaphore>                     |
nhdr.n_descsize |  "provider_name"   "note_name"   |
         |      |   <args>                         |
        -----   |----------------------------------|
                |      nhdr      |     "stapsdt"   |
                |...

The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt".
'nhdr' is a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note
description size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type). So, in order to
parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where to start from.
As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT notes given is "stapsdt".
But this is not the identifier of the note.
After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the
address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address.
Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the
arguments.

[PATCH perf/core v9 09/16] perf probe: Add group name support

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

Allow user to set group name for adding new event.
Note that user must ensure that the group name doesn't
conflict with existing group name carefully.
E.g. Existing group name can conflict with other events.
Especially, using the group name reserved for kernel
modules can hide kernel embedded events when loading
modules.

 It is also possible to specify a probe point by the source line number or lazy matching by using 'SRC:ALN' or 'SRC;PTN' syntax, where 'SRC' is the source file path, ':ALN' is the line number and ';PTN' is the lazy matching pattern.
 'ARG' specifies the arguments of this probe point, (see PROBE ARGUMENT).

[PATCH perf/core v9 10/16] perf buildid-cache: Scan and import user SDT events to probe cache

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

perf buildid-cache --add <binary> scans given binary and add
the SDT events to probe cache. "sdt_" prefix is appended for
all SDT providers to avoid event-name clash with other pre-defined
events. It is possible to use the cached SDT events as other cached
events, via perf probe --add "sdt_<provider>:<event>=<event>".

e.g.
  ----
  # perf buildid-cache --add /lib/libc-2.17.so
  # perf probe --cache --list | head -n 5
  /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so (a6fb821bdf53660eb2c29f778757aef294d3d392):
  sdt_libc:setjmp=setjmp
  sdt_libc:longjmp=longjmp
  sdt_libc:longjmp_target=longjmp_target
  sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
  # perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so \
    -a sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on memory_heap_new
   in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e sdt_libc:memory_heap_new -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on new_heap+183 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that SDT event entries in probe-cache file is somewhat different
from normal cached events. Normal one starts with "#", but SDTs are
starting with "%".

[PATCH perf/core v9 11/16] perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

To improbe usability, support %[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT format to
add new probes on SDT and cached events.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe -x /lib/libc-2.17.so  %lll_lock_wait_private
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on %lll_lock_wait_private in
  /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l | more
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on __lll_lock_wait_private+21
   in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal
events with event-name.

e.g. define "myevent" on cache (-n doesn't add the real probe)
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
  ----
  Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf %myevent
  ----

 Changes in v7:
  - Fix a bug to return an error if no SDT/cached events found in cache.

And ';PTN' means lazy matching pattern (see LAZY MATCHING). Note that ';PTN' must be the end of the probe point definition.  In addition, '@SRC' specifies a source file which has that function.
 It is also possible to specify a probe point by the source line number or lazy matching by using 'SRC:ALN' or 'SRC;PTN' syntax, where 'SRC' is the source file path, ':ALN' is the line number and ';PTN' is the lazy matching pattern.

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

Show SDT and pre-cached events by perf-list with "sdt". This also
shows the binary and build-id where the events are placed only
when there are same name events on different binaries.
e.g.

    sdt_libc:longjmp                                   [SDT event]
    sdt_libc:longjmp_target                            [SDT event]

[PATCH perf/core v9 13/16] perf-list: Skip SDTs placed in invalid binaries

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>

Skip SDTs placed in invalid (non-exist, or older version)
binaries. Note that perf-probe --cache --list and
perf-probe --cache --del still handle all the caches
including invalid binaries.

 Changes in v7:
  - Validate build-id via sysfs if it is for kallsyms,
 Changes in v4:
  - Rename a parameter 'valid' to 'validonly' :)

[PATCH perf/core v9 14/16] perf probe: Allow wildcard for cached events

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Allo glob wildcard for reusing cached/SDT events. This also
automatically find the target binaries, e.g.

  # perf probe -a %sdt_libc:\*

This example adds probes for all SDT in libc.
Note that the SDTs must have been scanned by perf buildid-cache.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>
---
 Changes in v7:
  - Continue to search caches if a build-id cache has no probe cache.
  - Make probe_cache__open() to accept DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS for kernel.
  - Fix to add probes correctly when a wildcard matchs both of
    uprobes and kprobes.
 Changes in v5.1:
  - Fix a SEGV bug when a group name is omitted. (Thanks Hemant!)

[PATCH perf/core v9 15/16] perf probe: Support @BUILDID or @FILE suffix for SDT events

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Support @BUILDID or @FILE suffix for SDT events. This allows
perf to add probes on SDTs/pre-cached events on given FILE
or the file which has given BUILDID (also, this complements
BUILDID.)
For example, both gcc and libstdc++ has same SDTs as below.
If you would like to add a probe on sdt_libstdcxx:catch on gcc,
you can do as below.

  ----
  # perf list sdt | tail -n 6
    sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27)     [SDT event]
    sdt_libstdcxx:catch@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
    sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27)   [SDT event]
    sdt_libstdcxx:rethrow@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
    sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/bin/gcc(0cc207fc4b27)     [SDT event]
    sdt_libstdcxx:throw@/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20(91c7a88fdf49)
  # perf probe -a sdt_libstdcxx:catch@0cc
  Added new event:
    sdt_libstdcxx:catch  (on %catch in /usr/bin/gcc)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e sdt_libstdcxx:catch -aR sleep 1

[PATCH perf/core v9 16/16] perf probe: Support a special SDT probe format

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Support a special SDT probe format which can omit the '%' prefix
only if the SDT group name starts with "sdt_". So, for example
both of "%sdt_libc:setjump" and "sdt_libc:setjump" are acceptable
for perf probe --add.

Thanks for doing this, I hope this gets merged soon.  The patch 4 and
14 look a bit larger and would be better to be splitted IMHO.  Other
than that, all look good to me.

Yeah, it seems 14/16 can be splitted, but 4/16 might not be.
When I need to update to v10, I'll try.

Ok, for completeness sake: Where does one learn more about "SDT", I
couldn't find a description of this in this patchkit, /me goes googling
around...

https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Static-Probe-Points.html

Some lifting of this text, giving credit and checking whatever license
it is under would help, I think.

Mentioning some userland components that have such "Statically Defined
Tracing" markers would also help testers to try it with this patchkit, I
saw just one or two examples here, IIRC with libc and libstdc++.

Hmm, would you mean we'd better add links(urls) in Documentation/perf-probe.txt?

Yeah, and it depends on the binary which your distro provides.
Fotunately, Redhat provided binaries usually enables SDTs :)

As you can see the below page, we can add a testcase for sdt in
perftool itself (this also requires sdt.h provided by systemtap-devel)

https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/AddingUserSpaceProbingToApps

Then, user can run tests to ensure it.

Thank you!

Hmm, for patch#4, it includes
 A. Rename and Export build_id_cache__cachedir()	[14 LOC]
 B. Add perf_probe_event__copy()	[73 LOC]
 C. Add (or fix and reenable) synthesize_perf_probe_point() [38 LOC]
 D. Introduce perf_cache interfaces (new/add/commit/delete) [320 LOC]
 E. Add --cache option for perf-probe [15 LOC]

And E depends on D, D depends on A,B and C. And of course without E,
other parts are just a deadweight.(no other one call it, just exported)
Should I split them all?

I mean we should describe the feature that is being implemented, so that
interested parties can have a better handle at testing it :-)

So, yes, adding links to Documentation/perf-probe.txt is part of that.

Cool, having it tested in 'perf test' will certainly help in merging
this and keeping it working over time, when we touch code that is used
by SDT support.

Cool.
This is precisely what I was suggesting in the last patchset. A more
detailed explanation (including some good examples) of the feature added
to documentation will help all.

Yeah.

perf symbols: Introduce filename__readable to check readability

Introduce filename__readable to check readability by opening the file
directly. Since the access(R_OK) just checks the readability based on
real UID/GID, it is ignored that the effective UID/GID and capabilities
for some special file (e.g.  /proc/kcore).

filename__readable() directly opens given file with O_RDONLY so that the
kernel checks it by effective UID/GID and capabilities.

perf buildid-cache: Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid

Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid
to store corresponding elf binary.
This also stores vdso in buildid/vdso, kallsyms in buildid/kallsyms.

Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds
or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id
cache it falls back to use it. (IOW, it is backward compatible)
