[PATCH perf/core 0/8] perf-probe: Add filtering features

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi,

Here is a series of patches which improves perf-probe to add
filtering features for --list,--del and --funcs. This also
includes some bugfixes and cleanups.

E.g. --list/--funcs accepts filter rules.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -l vfs\*
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
  # ./perf probe -l \*libc:\*
    probe_libc:malloc    (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)
  ----
  ----
  # ./perf probe -F *kmalloc
  __kmalloc
  devm_kmalloc
  mempool_kmalloc
  sg_kmalloc
  sock_kmalloc
  ----

Also, --del accepts filter rules too which is more flexible than
simple wildcard.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -d 'vfs*|malloc'
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  ----

Thank you,


---

[PATCH perf/core 1/8] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Make --funcs option exclusive

[Masami Hiramatsu]

--funcs option is a command which should be given exclusively.
This adds PARSE_OPT_EXCUSIVE flag on --funcs (-F) option.

Without this, 'perf probe --funcs -l' just shows the list of
probes. With this, it shows error message correctly.

This also fixes the help message and the documentation.

[PATCH perf/core 2/8] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Remove all probes matches given pattern at once

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Fix perf-probe --del option to delete all matched probes in both
of kprobes and uprobes at once.

When we have 2 or more events on different binaries as below,

  ----
  # ./perf probe -l
  probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
  probe_libc:malloc    (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17
  ----

Trying to remove all event with '*' just removes kprobe events at first.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -d \*
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read
  ----

And in 2nd try, it removes all uprobe events.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -d \*
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  ----

This fixes to remove all event at once as below.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -d \*
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  ----

I think it'd be better checking 'ret == -ENOENT && ret2 == -ENOENT'
here since del_trace_probe_event() can return other error codes.

Thanks,
Namhyung

Indeed. BTW, this code is replaced by patch 5/8, so I'll update it too.

Thanks!

[PATCH perf/core 3/8] perf probe: Accept multiple filter options

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Accept multiple filter options. Each filters are combined
by logical-or. E.g. --filter abc* --filter *def is same
as --filter abc*|*def

[PATCH perf/core 5/8] perf probe: Allow to use filter on --del command

[Masami Hiramatsu]

This makes perf-probe --del option to accept filter rules
not only simple glob pattern. This simplifies the code and
improve the flexibility.

E.g. if we remove 2 different pattern events, we need 2
     -d options.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -d vfs\* -d malloc
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read
  ----

  This allows you to joint the 2 patterns with '|'.

  ----
  # ./perf probe -d 'vfs*|malloc'
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  ----

You may want to check the return value here - or in the
strfilter__string() ?

Ah, right. Even though this str is only for debugging, it
is better to verify the filter is correctly built by
strfilter__string.

I'll check the return value here.

Oops, of course there need another check :)
this is just a simple care-less miss.

[PATCH perf/core 6/8] perf probe: Accept filter argument for --funcs

This allows user to pass the filter pattern directly to
--funcs option as below.

  # ./perf probe -F *kmalloc
  __kmalloc
  devm_kmalloc
  mempool_kmalloc
  sg_kmalloc
  sock_kmalloc
  ----

We previously need --filter option for that.
