perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel
This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all objects into kernel. Committer notes: Testing it: When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your eBPF proggie: int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100; For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user: # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG --- libbpf: libbpf: -- END LOG -- libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork' libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o' event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o' \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel? (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, the whole process goes thru: # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.202 MB perf.data ] # perf evlist -v /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1 # Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kaixu Xia <xiakaixu@huawei.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444826502-49291-6-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
