[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

Sorry for the top post, but the message below didn't made it thru due to
local problems as I recently switched notebooks, my postfix setup barfed
this one :-\

This is what I have in my tmp.perf/bpf_map:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/commit/?h=tmp.perf/bpf_map&id=5c78fe3c5a944ba7f9a85f59548295211f3d252c

Please take a look and see if you're ok with it,

I'm going thru the other patches in this week's patchkit, thanks
for keeping up with this work,

Regards,

Ok, tested this, works great, trace_printk gets what I pass via the
event definition, etc.

One suggestion, tho. I think "maps", plural, is strange, we're referring
to one map, not multiple ones when we write: "map:my_map.value=1234", so
I have this on a separate branch, tmp.perf/bpf_map, do you agree?
Shorter, one character less to type :-)

I also changed some error reports and the commit log, hope that improved
it, please also take a look.

I'm now working on the patch right after this, all will be on the
tmp.perf/bpf_map shortly.

I agree your change, but the commit you mentioned has a bug
which I have already fixed in Feb. 19 patch set:

At bpf_map__config_value:

+        if (!term->type_val == PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_NUM) {
+                pr_debug("ERROR: wrong value type\n");
+                return -BPF_LOADER_ERRNO__OBJCONF_MAP_VALUE;
+        }

Should use

          if (term->type_val != PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_NUM)

I'll switch 'maps' to 'map' as you did in my tree and send this
patch again. (still based on perf/core, so I can solve potential
conflicts in my side).

Thank you.

[PATCH 06/54] perf tools: Add API to config maps in bpf object

[Wang Nan]

bpf__config_obj() is introduced as a core API to config BPF object
after loading. One configuration option of maps is introduced. After
this patch BPF object can accept configuration like:

 maps:my_map.value=1234

(maps.my_map.value looks pretty. However, there's a small but hard
to fixed problem related to flex's greedy matching. Please see [1].
Choose ':' to avoid it in a simpler way.)

This patch is more complex than the work it really does because the
consideration of extension. In designing of BPF map configuration,
following things should be considered:

 1. Array indices selection: perf should allow user setting different
    value to different slots in an array, with syntax like:
    maps:my_map.value[0,3...6]=1234;

 2. A map can be config by different config terms, each for a part
    of it. For example, set each slot to pid of a thread;

 3. Type of value: integer is not the only valid value type. Perf
    event can also be put into a map after commit 35578d7984003097af2b1e3
    (bpf: Implement function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected
    hardware PMU conuter);

 4. For hash table, it is possible to use string or other as key;

 5. It is possible that map configuration is unable to be setup
    during parsing. Perf event is an example.

Therefore, this patch does following:

 1. Instead of updating map element during parsing, this patch stores
    map config options in 'struct bpf_map_priv'. Following patches
    would apply those configs at proper time;

 2. Link map operations to a list so a map can have multiple config
    terms attached, so different parts can be configured separately;

 3. Make 'struct bpf_map_priv' extensible so following patches can
    add new types of keys and operations;

 4. Use bpf_obj_config__map_funcs array to support more maps config options.

Since the patch changing event parser to parse BPF object config is
relative large, I put in another commit. Code in this patch
could be tested after applying next patch.
