Subject[PATCH v2] perf/sdt: Directly record SDT events
Date
This patch adds support for directly recording SDT events which are
present in the probe cache. This patch is based on current SDT
enablement patchset (v5) by Masami :
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/27/828
and it implements two points in the TODO list mentioned in the
cover note :
"- (perf record) Support SDT event recording directly"
"- (perf record) Try to unregister SDT events after record."

Without this patch, we could probe into SDT events using
"perf probe" and "perf record". With this patch, we can probe
the SDT events directly using "perf record".

For example :

# perf list sdt // List the SDT events
...
sdt_mysql:update__row__done [SDT event]
sdt_mysql:update__row__start [SDT event]
sdt_mysql:update__start [SDT event]
sdt_python:function__entry [SDT event]
sdt_python:function__return [SDT event]
sdt_test:marker1 [SDT event]
sdt_test:marker2 [SDT event]
...

# perf record -e %sdt_test:marker1 -e %sdt_test:marker2 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.087 MB perf.data (22 samples) ]

# perf script
test_sdt 29230 [002] 405550.548017: sdt_test:marker1: (400534)
test_sdt 29230 [002] 405550.548064: sdt_test:marker2: (40053f)
test_sdt 29231 [002] 405550.962806: sdt_test:marker1: (400534)
test_sdt 29231 [002] 405550.962841: sdt_test:marker2: (40053f)
test_sdt 29232 [001] 405551.379327: sdt_test:marker1: (400534)
...

Recording on SDT events with same provider and marker names is also
supported :
# readelf -n ./test_sdt | grep test
Provider: test
Provider: test
Provider: test
# readelf -n ./test_sdt | grep -A2 test
Provider: test
Name: marker1

After invoking "perf record", behind the scenes, it checks whether the
event specified is an SDT event using the flag '%'. After that, it
does a lookup of the probe cache to find out the SDT event. If its not
present, it throws an error. Otherwise, it goes on and writes the event
into the uprobe_events file and sets up the probe event, trace events,
etc and starts recording. It also maintains a list of the event names
that were written to uprobe_events file. After finishing the record
session, it removes the events from the uprobe_events file using the
maintained name list.

Changes since v1:
- Added support for recording on multiple SDT events with same names.
- Added support to show warning if multiple SDT events with same names are present.
- Used del_perf_probe_events() to delete the SDT events after recording is done.
- Moved function remove_sdt_event_list() to util/probe-event.c
- Added a function parse_sdt_event() to parse an SDT event from a string.
- Used find_cached_events_all() to find SDT events.
- Used group:event as a strfilter to delete the SDT events from the uprobe_events file.
(Thanks Masami for the above suggestions!)
