perf bpf: Save BTF information as headers to perf.data
This patch enables 'perf record' to save BTF information as headers to perf.data. A new header type HEADER_BPF_BTF is introduced for this data. Committer testing: As root, being on the kernel sources top level directory, run: # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c -e *msg Just to compile and load a BPF program that attaches to the raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints to trace the syscalls ending in "msg" (recvmsg, sendmsg, recvmmsg, sendmmsg, etc). Make sure you have a recent enough clang, say version 9, to get the BTF ELF sections needed for this testing: # clang --version | head -1 clang version 9.0.0 (https://git.llvm.org/git/clang.git/ 7906282d3afec5dfdc2b27943fd6c0309086c507) (https://git.llvm.org/git/llvm.git/ a1b5de1ff8ae8bc79dc8e86e1f82565229bd0500) # readelf -SW tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o | grep BTF [22] .BTF PROGBITS 0000000000000000 000ede 000b0e 00 0 0 1 [23] .BTF.ext PROGBITS 0000000000000000 0019ec 0002a0 00 0 0 1 [24] .rel.BTF.ext REL 0000000000000000 002fa8 000270 10 30 23 8 Then do a systemwide perf record session for a few seconds: # perf record -a sleep 2s Then look at: # perf report --header-only | grep b[pt]f # event : name = cycles:ppp, , id = { 1116204, 1116205, 1116206, 1116207, 1116208, 1116209, 1116210, 1116211 }, size = 112, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 4000, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, read_format = ID, disabled = 1, inherit = 1, mmap = 1, comm = 1, freq = 1, enable_on_exec = 1, task = 1, precise_ip = 3, sample_id_all = 1, exclude_guest = 1, mmap2 = 1, comm_exec = 1, ksymbol = 1, bpf_event = 1 # bpf_prog_info of id 13 # bpf_prog_info of id 14 # bpf_prog_info of id 15 # bpf_prog_info of id 16 # bpf_prog_info of id 17 # bpf_prog_info of id 18 # bpf_prog_info of id 21 # bpf_prog_info of id 22 # bpf_prog_info of id 51 # bpf_prog_info of id 52 # btf info of id 8 # We need to show more info about these BPF and BTF entries , but that can be done later.
