[PATCH bpf-next v12 0/2] libbpf: fix USDT SIB argument handling causing unrecognized register error

[PATCH bpf-next v12 0/2] libbpf: fix USDT SIB argument handling causing unrecognized register error

[Jiawei Zhao]

When using GCC on x86-64 to compile an usdt prog with -O1 or higher
optimization, the compiler will generate SIB addressing mode for global
array and PC-relative addressing mode for global variable,
e.g. "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)" and "-1@4+t1(%rip)".

The current USDT implementation in libbpf cannot parse these two formats,
causing `bpf_program__attach_usdt()` to fail with -ENOENT
(unrecognized register).

This patch series adds support for SIB addressing mode in USDT probes.
The main changes include:
- add correct handling logic for SIB-addressed arguments in
  `parse_usdt_arg`.
- add an usdt_o2 test case to cover SIB addressing mode.

Testing shows that the SIB probe correctly generates 8@(%rcx,%rax,8) 
argument spec and passes all validation checks.

The modification history of this patch series:
Change since v1:
- refactor the code to make it more readable
- modify the commit message to explain why and how

Change since v2:
- fix the `scale` uninitialized error

Change since v3:
- force -O2 optimization for usdt.test.o to generate SIB addressing usdt
  and pass all test cases.

Change since v4:
- split the patch into two parts, one for the fix and the other for the
  test

Change since v5:
- Only enable optimization for x86 architecture to generate SIB addressing
  usdt argument spec.

Change since v6:
- Add an usdt_o2 test case to cover SIB addressing mode.
- Reinstate the usdt.c test case.

Change since v7:
- Refactor modifications to __bpf_usdt_arg_spec to avoid increasing its size,
  achieving better compatibility
- Fix some minor code style issues
- Refactor the usdt_o2 test case, removing semaphore and adding GCC attribute
  to force -O2 optimization

Change since v8:
- Refactor the usdt_o2 test case, using assembly to force SIB addressing mode.

Change since v9:
- Only enable the usdt_o2 test case on x86_64 and i386 architectures since the
  SIB addressing mode is only supported on x86_64 and i386.

Change since v10:
- Replace `__attribute__((optimize("O2")))` with `#pragma GCC optimize("O1")`
  to fix the issue where the optimized compilation condition works improperly. 
- Renamed test case usdt_o2 and relevant files name to usdt_o1 in that O1
  level optimization is enough to generate SIB addressing usdt argument spec.

Change since v11:
- Replace `STAP_PROBE1` with `STAP_PROBE_ASM`
- Use bit fields instead of bit shifting operations
- Merge the usdt_o1 test case into the usdt test case

[PATCH bpf-next v12 1/2] libbpf: fix USDT SIB argument handling causing unrecognized register error

[Jiawei Zhao]

On x86-64, USDT arguments can be specified using Scale-Index-Base (SIB)
addressing, e.g. "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)". The current USDT implementation
in libbpf cannot parse this format, causing `bpf_program__attach_usdt()`
to fail with -ENOENT (unrecognized register).

This patch fixes this by implementing the necessary changes:
- add correct handling for SIB-addressed arguments in `bpf_usdt_arg`.
- add adaptive support to `__bpf_usdt_arg_type` and
  `__bpf_usdt_arg_spec` to represent SIB addressing parameters.

hi,
I can see patchset v12 twice with different stats.. this one's the latter,
but you might want to resend with new version

[PATCH bpf-next v12 0/2] libbpf: fix USDT SIB argument handling causing unrecognized register error

[Jiawei Zhao]

When using GCC on x86-64 to compile an usdt prog with -O1 or higher
optimization, the compiler will generate SIB addressing mode for global
array and PC-relative addressing mode for global variable,
e.g. "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)" and "-1@4+t1(%rip)".

The current USDT implementation in libbpf cannot parse these two formats,
causing `bpf_program__attach_usdt()` to fail with -ENOENT
(unrecognized register).

This patch series adds support for SIB addressing mode in USDT probes.
The main changes include:
- add correct handling logic for SIB-addressed arguments in
  `parse_usdt_arg`.
- add an usdt_o2 test case to cover SIB addressing mode.

Testing shows that the SIB probe correctly generates 8@(%rcx,%rax,8) 
argument spec and passes all validation checks.

The modification history of this patch series:
Change since v1:
- refactor the code to make it more readable
- modify the commit message to explain why and how

Change since v2:
- fix the `scale` uninitialized error

Change since v3:
- force -O2 optimization for usdt.test.o to generate SIB addressing usdt
  and pass all test cases.

Change since v4:
- split the patch into two parts, one for the fix and the other for the
  test

Change since v5:
- Only enable optimization for x86 architecture to generate SIB addressing
  usdt argument spec.

Change since v6:
- Add an usdt_o2 test case to cover SIB addressing mode.
- Reinstate the usdt.c test case.

Change since v7:
- Refactor modifications to __bpf_usdt_arg_spec to avoid increasing its size,
  achieving better compatibility
- Fix some minor code style issues
- Refactor the usdt_o2 test case, removing semaphore and adding GCC attribute
  to force -O2 optimization

Change since v8:
- Refactor the usdt_o2 test case, using assembly to force SIB addressing mode.

Change since v9:
- Only enable the usdt_o2 test case on x86_64 and i386 architectures since the
  SIB addressing mode is only supported on x86_64 and i386.

Change since v10:
- Replace `__attribute__((optimize("O2")))` with `#pragma GCC optimize("O1")`
  to fix the issue where the optimized compilation condition works improperly. 
- Renamed test case usdt_o2 and relevant files name to usdt_o1 in that O1
  level optimization is enough to generate SIB addressing usdt argument spec.

Change since v11:
- Replace `STAP_PROBE1` with `STAP_PROBE_ASM`
- Use bit fields instead of bit shifting operations
- Merge the usdt_o1 test case into the usdt test case

[PATCH bpf-next v12 2/2] selftests/bpf: Enrich subtest_basic_usdt case in selftests to cover SIB handling logic

[Jiawei Zhao]

When using GCC on x86-64 to compile an usdt prog with -O1 or higher
optimization, the compiler will generate SIB addressing mode for global
array and PC-relative addressing mode for global variable,
e.g. "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)" and "-1@4+t1(%rip)".

In this patch:
- enrich subtest_basic_usdt test case to cover SIB addressing usdt argument spec
  handling logic
