perf bpf: Fix build breakage due to libbpf

2016-01-11T22:22:21Z

perf build is currently (v4.4-rc5) broken on powerpc: bpf.c:28:4: error: #error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch. # error __NR_bpf not defined. libbpf does not support your arch. ^ Fix this by including tools/scripts/Makefile.arch for the proper $ARCH macro. While at it, remove redundant LP64 macro definition. Also, since libbpf require $(srctree) now, detect the path of srctree like perf. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

tools lib bpf: Fetch map names from correct strtab

2015-12-11T11:53:04Z

Namhyung Kim pointed out a potential problem in original code that it fetches names of maps from section header string table, which is used to store section names. Original code doesn't cause error because of a LLVM behavior that, it combines shstrtab into strtab. For example: $ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | x86_64-oe-linux-clang -x c -o temp.o -c - $ readelf -h ./temp.o ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... Section header string table index: 1 $ readelf -S ./temp.o There are 10 section headers, starting at offset 0x288: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Address Offset Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align [ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0 0 0 [ 1] .strtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 00000230 0000000000000051 0000000000000000 0 0 1 ... $ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o String dump of section '.strtab': [ 1] .text [ 7] .comment [ 10] .bss [ 15] .note.GNU-stack [ 25] .rela.eh_frame [ 34] func [ 39] .strtab [ 41] .symtab [ 49] .data [ 4f] - $ readelf -p .shstrtab ./temp.o readelf: Warning: Section '.shstrtab' was not dumped because it does not exist! Where, 'section header string table index' points to '.strtab', and symbol names are also stored there. However, in case of gcc: $ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | gcc -x c -o temp.o -c - $ readelf -p .shstrtab ./temp.o String dump of section '.shstrtab': [ 1] .symtab [ 9] .strtab [ 11] .shstrtab [ 1b] .text [ 21] .data [ 27] .bss [ 2c] .comment [ 35] .note.GNU-stack [ 45] .rela.eh_frame $ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o String dump of section '.strtab': [ 1] func They are separated sections. Although original code doesn't cause error, we'd better use canonical method for fetching symbol names to avoid potential behavior changing. This patch learns from readelf's code, fetches string from sh_link of .symbol section.

tools lib bpf: Check return value of strdup when reading map names

2015-12-11T11:51:09Z

Commit 561bbccac72d08babafaa33fd7fa9100ec4c9fb6 ("tools lib bpf: Extract and collect map names from BPF object file") forgets checking return value of strdup(). This patch fixes it. It also checks names pointer before strcmp() for safety.

tools lib bpf: Extract and collect map names from BPF object file

2015-11-28T00:59:53Z

This patch collects name of maps in BPF object files and saves them into 'maps' field in 'struct bpf_object'. 'bpf_object__get_map_by_name' is introduced to retrive fd and definitions of a map through its name.

tools lib bpf: Collect map definition in bpf_object

2015-11-28T00:57:09Z

This patch collects more information from maps sections in BPF object files into 'struct bpf_object', enables later patches access those information (such as the type and size of the map). In this patch, a new handler 'struct bpf_map' is extracted in parallel with bpf_object and bpf_program. Its iterator and accessor is also created.

bpf tools: Add helper function for updating bpf maps elements

2015-11-26T20:21:24Z

Add bpf_map_update_elem() helper function which calls the sys_bpf syscall to update elements in bpf maps. Upcoming patches will use it to adjust data in map through the perf command line.

tools lib bpf: Don't do a feature check when cleaning

2015-11-25T19:38:13Z

Before this patch libbpf always do feature check even when cleaning. For example: $ cd kernel/tools/lib/bpf $ make Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] CC libbpf.o CC bpf.o LD libbpf-in.o LINK libbpf.a LINK libbpf.so $ make clean CLEAN libbpf CLEAN core-gen $ make clean Auto-detecting system features: ... libelf: [ on ] ... bpf: [ on ] CLEAN libbpf CLEAN core-gen $ Although the first 'make clean' doesn't show feature check result, it still does the check. No output because check result is similar to FEATURE-DUMP.libbpf. This patch uses same method as perf to turn off feature checking when 'make clean'.
