From"Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Subject[PATCH v4 2/3] perf: kretprobes: offset from reloc_sym if kernel supports it
Message-ID<tgI1c-KT-25@gated-at.bofh.it>
We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a
line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the
appropriate format for kprobe_events.

Could you give us an example of this change here? :)
for example, comment of commit 613f050d68a8 .

I think the code is OK, but we need actual example of result.

Thanks,

Hi Naveen,

I've tried following commands

$ grep "[Tt] user_read$" /proc/kallsyms  
0000000000000000 T user_read
0000000000000000 t user_read
$ sudo ./perf probe -D user_read%return
r:probe/user_read _text+3539616
r:probe/user_read_1 _text+3653408

OK, looks good. However, when I set the retprobes, I got an error.

$ sudo ./perf probe -a user_read%return
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
  Error: Failed to add events.

And kernel rejected that.

$ dmesg -k | tail -n 1
[  850.315068] Given offset is not valid for return probe.

Hmm, curious..

I tried normal probes

$ sudo ./perf probe -D user_read
p:probe/user_read _text+3539616
p:probe/user_read_1 _text+3653408
$ sudo ./perf probe -a user_read
Added new events:
  probe:user_read      (on user_read)
  probe:user_read_1    (on user_read)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:user_read_1 -aR sleep 1

It works!

$ sudo ./perf probe -l
  probe:user_read      (on user_read@security/keys/user_defined.c)
  probe:user_read_1    (on user_read@selinux/ss/policydb.c)
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff9237bf20  k  user_read+0x0    [DISABLED][FTRACE]
ffffffff923602a0  k  user_read+0x0    [DISABLED][FTRACE]

So, the both "_text+3539616" and "_text+3653408" are correctly located
on the entry address of user_read functions. It seems kernel-side
symbol+offset check is wrong.

Thank you,

FYI, without this patch, perf probe returns same place for same-name
functions. So this patch itself looks good.

$ sudo ./perf probe -D user_read%return
r:probe/user_read user_read+0
r:probe/user_read_1 user_read+0

Ah, I see.

static int create_trace_kprobe(int argc, char **argv)
...
        } else {
                /* a symbol specified */
                symbol = argv[1];
                /* TODO: support .init module functions */
                ret = traceprobe_split_symbol_offset(symbol, &offset);
                if (ret) {
                        pr_info("Failed to parse symbol.\n");
                        return ret;
                }
                if (offset && is_return &&
                    !arch_function_offset_within_entry(offset)) {
                        pr_info("Given offset is not valid for return probe.\n");
                        return -EINVAL;
                }
        }

So, actually, traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() just split out symbol
and offset from symbol string (e.g. "_text+3539616").
So, you should use kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() here again to check
offset.

Please try attached patch (I've already tested on x86-64).

$ sudo ./perf probe -a user_read%return
Added new events:
  probe:user_read      (on user_read%return)
  probe:user_read_1    (on user_read%return)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:user_read_1 -aR sleep 1

$ sudo ./perf probe -l
  probe:user_read      (on user_read%return@security/keys/user_defined.c)
  probe:user_read_1    (on user_read%return@selinux/ss/policydb.c)
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff9637bf70  r  user_read+0x0    [DISABLED][FTRACE]
ffffffff963602f0  r  user_read+0x0    [DISABLED][FTRACE]

Thank you,

Thanks for the review, Masami!
I ended up adding one more patch to this series (patch 5/6) to move the
ftrace README scanning out of probe-file.c, as it doesn't need libelf.
Patch 6 fails to build without libelf otherwise. Please take a look.

Arnaldo,
I am re-sending the remaining patches in this series which apply on top
of the 4 patches you sent to Ingo, so as to keep this simple. All the
patches have been acked, except the new patch 5/6. Kindly take a look.

Thanks,
Naveen

#1594112 — [RESEND PATCH 6/6] perf: powerpc: choose local entry point with kretprobes

From"Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Subject[RESEND PATCH 6/6] perf: powerpc: choose local entry point with kretprobes
Message-ID<til0t-6mK-15@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1594109
perf now uses an offset from _text/_stext for kretprobes if the kernel
supports it, rather than the actual function name. As such, let's choose
the LEP for powerpc ABIv2 so as to ensure the probe gets hit. Do it only
if the kernel supports specifying offsets with kretprobes.

#1594118 — [PATCH 5/6] perf: probes: move ftrace README parsing logic into trace-event-parse.c

From"Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Subject[PATCH 5/6] perf: probes: move ftrace README parsing logic into trace-event-parse.c
Message-ID<til0u-6mK-27@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1594109
probe-file.c needs libelf, but scanning ftrace README does not require
that. As such, move the ftrace README scanning logic out of probe-file.c
and into trace-event-parse.c.

As far as I can see, there is no reason to push this out from probe-file.c
because anyway this API using code requires libelf. Without this, I can
still build perf with NO_LIBELF=1. So I wouldn't like to pick this.
(I think we can drop this from this series)

Ok. We can drop this. I'll rework patch 6/6.

Not sure I understand. probe-file.h explicitly calls out a need for 
libelf due to the probe cache and related routines - commit 
40218daea1db1 ("perf list: Show SDT and pre-cached events").

However, if you prefer to retain the ftrace README scanning here, we can 
drop this patch and I can update patch 6 to check for libelf.

Thanks,
Naveen

Hmm, it seems probe-file.c doesn't require libelf at all...
I would like to keep ftrace related things in probe-file.c.

#1593820

From"Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Date2017-03-07 01:50 +0100
Message-ID<ti83f-5wO-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1592392
Masami,
Your patch works, thanks! However, I felt we could refactor and reuse
some of the code across kprobes.c for this purpose. Can you please see
if the below patch is fine?

Thanks,
Naveen

--
trace/kprobes: fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry

perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

Before patch:

	  perf record -e probe:do_open_1 -aR sleep 1

Sure :)
As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes:

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe
  place (kretprobe): [<module>:]<symbol>[+<offset>]|<memaddr>
  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ 
  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return 
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols
  Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Matched function: do_open [2d0c7d8]
  Probe point found: do_open+0
  Matched function: do_open [35d76b5]
  found inline addr: 0xc0000000004ba984
  Failed to find "do_open%return",
   because do_open is an inlined function and has no return point.
  An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-22).
  Trying to use symbols.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open do_open+0
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open_1 do_open+0
  Added new events:
    probe:do_open        (on do_open%return)
    probe:do_open_1      (on do_open%return)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_open_1 -aR sleep 1

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list

  c0000000004433d0  r  do_open+0x0    [DISABLED]

And after this patch (and the subsequent powerpc patch):

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return 
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)

Ok, with this usage example.
