[RFC PATCH 0/7] perf tools: Config BPF maps through perf cmdline

[Wang Nan]

This patch set is based on commit d2f820885d8e ("perf tools: Pass
available CPU number to clang compiler") in my git tree [1]. It replaces
the old four patches in the git tree with improved solution.

In these 7 patches:

 1. perf is able to put values into map:
  # perf record -e mybpf.c/maps.values.value=1234/ ...

 2. perf is able to control different slots in a map separately:
  # perf record -e mybpf.c/maps.values.value[1,4-6]=1234,maps.values.value[0,2-3]=5678/ ...

 3. The second syntax can be applied to perf event also:
  # perf record -v -a -e evt=cycles -e mybpf.c/maps.pmu_map.event[0]=evt/ ...

 4. Compatible with the old syntax:
  # perf record -v -a -e evt=cycles -e mybpf.c/maps.pmu_map.event=evt/ ...

[RFC PATCH 1/7] 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

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 indics 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. 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);

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

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

Therefore, this patch does tie following thing for extension:

 1. Instead of update 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. Make 'struct bpf_map_priv' extensible so following patches can
    add new key and value operations;

 3. Use bpf_config_map_funcs array to support more maps configuration.

There's an inconvience in this syntax.

In following cmdline:

  # perf record -e mybpf.c/maps.channel.value=1234/ ls

because of the greedy manner of flex, mybpf.c/maps.c would
be expressed as path of a BPF source file (and yes, it is a valid
path).

If flex has a non-greedy mode then it would be fixed easily. However,
the official flex docs reveals its policy that it doesn't and would not
provide non-greedy matching. Even if we have non-greedy matching,
we are unable to prohibit user to put their BPF object into path
like

/home/user/mybpf.c/thefile.c

Fortunately this patch has not beed merged, so we have a chance to fix
it at very beginning. I will replace all '.' in object config string
to ':', so the above cmdline becomes:

  # perf record -e mybpf.c/maps:channel:value=1234/ ls

Because of this delay-updating manner, current implementation forbid
setting a map with different configuration.
For example:

  # perf record -e 
test_bpf.c/maps:channel:value[0...9]=1,maps:channel:value[10...19]=2/ ...

is equal to
  # perf record -e test_bpf.c/maps:channel:value[10...19]=2/ ...

because [see follow]

... because this structure holds only one config term.

In next version I'd like to save multiple setting operations in
this structure.

Thank you.

[RFC PATCH 2/7] perf tools: Add API to apply config to BPF map

[Wang Nan]

bpf__apply_config() is introduced as the core API to apply config
options to all BPF objects. This patch also does the real work for
setting values for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_ARRAY maps by inserting value
stored in map's private field into the BPF map.

This patch is required because we are not always able to set all
BPF config during parsing. Further patch will set events created
by perf to BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY maps, which is not exist
until perf_evsel__open().

bpf_map_foreach_key() is introduced to iterate over each key
needs to be configured. This function would be extended to support
more map types and different key settings.

[RFC PATCH 4/7] perf tools: Enable BPF object configure syntax

[Wang Nan]

This patch adds the final step for BPF map configuration. A new syntax
is appended into parser so user can config BPF objects through '/' '/'
enclosed config terms.

After this patch, BPF programs for perf are able to get value through
perf cmdline like:

 # perf record -e bpf_file.c/maps.mymap.value=123/ ...

Here found a bug that $2 is possible to be NULL, but parse_events_free_terms
can't accept NULL param.

Will be fixed in next version.

[RFC PATCH 5/7] perf tools: Support setting different slots in a BPF map separately

[Wang Nan]

This patch introduces basic facilities to support config different
slots in a BPF map one by one.

nr_indics and indics are introduced into 'struct parse_events_term',
where indics is an array of indics which will be configured by this
config term, nr_indics is the size of the array. The array is passed
to 'struct bpf_map_priv'. To indicate the new type of configuration,
BPF_MAP_PRIV_KEY_INDICS is added as a new key type.
bpf_map_config_foreach_key() is extended to iterate over those indics
instead of all possible keys.

This for-loop has a potential problem that, if perf's user want to
set a very big array using indices, for example:

  # perf record -e 
mybpf.c/maps:mymap:values[1,2,3,10-100000,200000-400000]=3/ 
mybpf.c/maps:mymap:values[100000-200000]=3/ ...

Perf would alloc nearly 300000 slots for indices array, consume too much 
memory.

I will fix this problem by reinterprete indices array, makes negative
value represent range start and use next slot to store range size. For
example, the above perf cmdline can be converted to:

{1,2,3,-10, 99991,-200000,200001} and {-100000,100001}.

Thank you.

Why is that changing the way you specify what entries should be set to
a value will make it not allocate too much memory?

I found the first form of representing ( start-end ) to be better than (
-start, size ), but I would use what the C language uses for expressing
ranges in switch case ranges, which is familiar and doesn't reuses the
minus arithmetic operator to express a range, i.e.:

 # perf record -e \
   mybpf.c/maps:mymap:values[1,2,3,10..100000,200000..400000]=3/

 # perf record -e \
   mybpf.c/maps:mymap:values[100000..200000]=3/ ...

It is actually a problem in the next patch, in which it expand all range
into a series of indices. If user wants 1-10000, it creates an array as
[1,2,3,4,...10000], so user is possible to use a simple cmdline to consume
all of available memory.

However, the method I described above is not the best way to solve this 
probelm.
I thought yesterday that we should not insist on indices array. We can
make parser always return ranges. For example, [1,2,3-5] can be represent
using [(1,1), (2,1), (3,3)], so we don't need the above ugly negative
indicators.

One problem: the case range syntax is introduced by gcc extension, not a
part of standard, and should be '...'.

Please see: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Case-Ranges.html

So I'll use '...' also.

[RFC PATCH 6/7] perf tools: Enable indics setting syntax for BPF maps

[Wang Nan]

This patch introduce a new syntax to perf event parser:

 # perf record -e bpf_file.c/maps.mymap.value[0,3-5,7]=1234/ ...

By utilizing the basic facilities in bpf-loader.c which allow setting
different slots in a BPF map separately, the newly introduced syntax
allows perf to control specific elements in a BPF map.

The concept looks good and solves real need.
No opinion on implementation.

Can I translate these words into an acked-by?

And what's your PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT going on? I think based on this
patchset you can test it with perf now.

Thank you.

sorry nope. acks for implementation, but I didn't review it yet.

I'm testing it.
