perf bpf: Fix endianness problem when loading parameters in prologue
Perf's BPF prologue generator unconditionally fetches 8 bytes for function parameters, which causes problems on big endian machines. Thomas gives a detailed analysis for this problem: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/968ebda5-abe4-8830-8d69-49f62529d151@linux.vnet.ibm.com ---- 8< ---- I investigated perf test BPF for s390x and have a question regarding the 38.3 subtest (bpf-prologue test) which fails on s390x. When I turn on trace_printk in tests/bpf-script-test-prologue.c I see this output in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace: [root@s8360047 perf]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535791: : f_mode 2001d00000000 offset:0 orig:0 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535809: : f_mode 6001f00000000 offset:0 orig:0 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535815: : f_mode 6001f00000000 offset:1 orig:0 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535819: : f_mode 2001d00000000 offset:1 orig:0 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535822: : f_mode 2001d00000000 offset:2 orig:1 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535825: : f_mode 6001f00000000 offset:2 orig:1 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535828: : f_mode 6001f00000000 offset:3 orig:1 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535832: : f_mode 2001d00000000 offset:3 orig:1 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535835: : f_mode 2001d00000000 offset:4 orig:0 perf-30229 [000] d..2 170161.535841: : f_mode 6001f00000000 offset:4 orig:0 [...] There are 3 parameters the eBPF program tests/bpf-script-test-prologue.c accesses: f_mode (member of struct file at offset 140) offset and orig. They are parameters of the lseek() system call triggered in this test case in function llseek_loop(). What is really strange is the value of f_mode. It is an 8 byte value, whereas in the probe event it is defined as a 4 byte value. The lower 4 bytes are all zero and do not belong to member f_mode. The correct value should be 2001d for read-only and 6001f for read-write open mode. Here is the output of the 'perf test -vv bpf' trace: Try to find probe point from debuginfo. Matched function: null_lseek [2d9310d] Probe point found: null_lseek+0 Searching 'file' variable in context.
