perf bpf: Use same BPF program if arguments are identical
This patch allows creating only one BPF program for different
'probe_trace_event'(tev) entries generated by one
'perf_probe_event'(pev) if their prologues are identical.
This is done by comparing the argument list of different tev instances,
and the maps type of prologue and tev using a mapping array. This patch
utilizes qsort to sort the tevs. After sorting, tevs with identical
argument lists will be grouped together.
Test result:
Sample BPF program:
#define SEC(NAME) __attribute__((section(NAME), used))
SEC("inlines=no;"
"func=SyS_dup? oldfd")
int func(void *ctx)
{
return 1;
}
It would probe at SyS_dup2 and SyS_dup3, obtaining oldfd as its
argument.
The following cmdline shows a BPF program being loaded into the kernel
by perf:
# perf record -e ./test_bpf_arg.c sleep 4 & sleep 1 && ls /proc/$!/fd/ -l | grep bpf-prog
Before this patch:
# perf record -e ./test_bpf_arg.c sleep 4 & sleep 1 && ls /proc/$!/fd/ -l | grep bpf-prog

lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Nov 14 04:09 4 -> anon_inode:bpf-prog
...
After this patch:
# perf record -e ./test_bpf_arg.c sleep 4 & sleep 1 && ls /proc/$!/fd/ -l | grep bpf-prog
[1] 25699
