[RFC 0/2] Introduce perf-stat -b for BPF programs

[RFC 0/2] Introduce perf-stat -b for BPF programs

[Song Liu]

This set introduces perf-stat -b option to count events for BPF programs.
This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile. But perf-stat makes it much more
flexible.

Sending as RFC because I would like comments on some key design choices:
  1. We are using BPF skeletons here, which is by far the easiest way to
     write and ship BPF programs. However, this requires bpftool, which
     makes building perf slower.
  2. A Makefile is added to tools/perf/util/bpf_skel/ to build bpftool,
     and BPF skeletons. This keeps main perf Makefiles simple. But we may
     not like it for some reason?

Some known limitations (or work to be done):
  1. Only counting events for one BPF program at a time.
  2. Need extra logic in target__validate().

[RFC 1/2] perf: support build BPF skeletons with perf

[Song Liu]

BPF programs are useful in perf to profile BPF programs. BPF skeleton is
by far the easiest way to write BPF tools. Enable building BPF skeletons
in util/bpf_skel. A dummy bpf skeleton is added. More bpf skeletons will
be added for different use cases.

I guess this was caused by older vmlinux.h. Could you please try build 
vmlinux first?

yes, that helped, but I think that's the one of the reasons
we need to make this to be built in conditionaly

some of the above should already be defined in the base Makefile.perf
we should use that, I think it'd fit better in the Makefile.perf itself

Let me try that. OTOH, I think Makefile.perf is a little too big (1k+ lines)..

I was just in a place adding bpf program to perf as well,
so this will save me some time ;-) thanks!

I'd love to learn about your plan. Maybe we have some similar ideas, 
and could collaborate on them.

the plan was to use skeleton as you did, because I agree it's the best
way to include bpf program in perf

I'm now using your patch and adding my bpf program on top of that ;-)

could we build just the bootstrap version of bpftool?
should be enough for skeleton and vmlinux.h dump, no?

please add support to specify VMLINUX_H as it is in selftests
or bpftool, we will need it in out building setup

[RFC 2/2] perf-stat: enable counting events for BPF programs

[Song Liu]

Introduce perf-stat -b option, which counts events for BPF programs, like:

[root@localhost ~]# ~/perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
     1.487903822            115,200      ref-cycles
     1.487903822             86,012      cycles
     2.489147029             80,560      ref-cycles

The example above counts cycles and ref-cycles of BPF program of id 254.
This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more flexible.

perf-stat -b creates per-cpu perf_event and loads fentry/fexit BPF
programs (monitor-progs) to the target BPF program (target-prog). The
monitor-progs read perf_event before and after the target-prog, and
aggregate the difference in a BPF map. Then the user space reads data
from these maps.

A new struct bpf_counter is introduced to provide common interface that
uses BPF programs/maps to count perf events.

I cannot reproduce this. Is 40 a valid BPF program ID? Could you please share 
more information about it with "bpftool prog show id 40"?

it was bpftrace kfunc program, I'll try again and get back with

hum, what's the point of this ops? you plan some other ops?
we could just define stat callbacks right?

so currently it's one extra bpf program for each event,
but it seems bad for multiple events stat.. could we
just have one program that would read and process all events?

I do have other ideas using BPF program to aggregate perf event 
counts. This ops provides common interface for different BPF 
extensions to evsel.

Multiple fentry programs should not be too expensive. Current design
extends evsel, so it is a cleaner implementation. We can evaluate the 
difference of these two designs by comparing this with 
"bpftool prog profile".

Which callbacks do you mean here? I would like to try that as
well.
