    Subject[PATCH 08/69] perf trace augmented_syscalls: Do not show syscalls when none was asked for
    Date
    From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

    When not using augmented syscalls, i.e. not passing thru the command
    line a eBPF source or object file event that provides the
    __augmented_syscalls__ BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, etc, as with:

    perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c

    or passing that augmented eBPF source/object via the trace.add_events in
    .perfconfig file, we were assuming that syscalls were asked for,
    differing from when not using augmented syscalls at all.

    This is confusing when using .perfconfig to hide the fact we're using
    the augmenter, i.e. using:

    # perf trace -e sched:* sleep 1

    Will show both the scheduler tracepoints and the syscalls, where what we
    want is to show just the scheduler tracepoints.

    To see the scheduler tracepoints and some specific syscall strace-like
    formatting, one has to use:

    # perf trace -e sched:*,nanosleep sleep 1

    Or, if wanting all the syscalls:

    # perf trace -e sched:* --syscalls sleep 1

    This way 'perf trace' can be used to trace just a set of tracepoints
    while allowing for mixing with strace-like when desired, by simply
    adding to the mix the name of the syscalls to show in addition to the
    tracepoints.

    Fix it so that the behaviour using the eBPF based syscall augmenter is
    the same as when not using one.

    Testing:

    Before this patch, with this ~/.perfconfig:

    # egrep -B1 ^[[:space:]]+add_events ~/.perfconfig
    [trace]
    add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
    #

    That points to this pre-compiled eBPF syscall augmenter:

    # file /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
    /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF, version 1 (SYSV), with debug_info, not stripped

    And when asking for _only_ sched:sched_switch and sched:sched_wakeup we
    were unconditionally getting all the syscalls formatted strace-like:

    # perf trace -e sched:*switch,sched:*wakeup sleep 1 |& tail
    0.633 fstat(3, 0x7fe11d030ac0) = 0
    0.635 mmap(NULL, 217750512, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7fe10fec5000
    0.643 close(3) = 0
    0.668 nanosleep(0x7fff649a3a90, NULL) ...
    0.672 sched:sched_switch:prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=4417 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/6 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
    1000.822 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=sleep pid=4417 prio=120 target_cpu=006
    0.668 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
    1000.923 close(1) = 0
    1000.941 close(2) = 0
    1000.974 exit_group(0) = ?
    #

    After the patch:

    # perf trace -e sched:*switch,sched:*wakeup sleep 1
    0.000 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=perf pid=5529 prio=120 target_cpu=005
    1.186 sched:sched_switch:prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5529 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
    1001.573 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=sleep pid=5529 prio=120 target_cpu=005
    #

    If we add the "open*" syscalls to the mix then the eBPF augmented _will_
    be used and these syscalls will be traced together with the specified
    sched tracepoints:

    # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/
    # ls -1d sys_enter_open*
    sys_enter_open
    sys_enter_openat
    sys_enter_open_by_handle_at
    sys_enter_open_tree
    #

    # perf trace -e open*,sched:*switch,sched:*wakeup sleep 1
    0.000 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=perf pid=5580 prio=120 target_cpu=005
    0.590 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    0.616 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    0.846 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    0.891 sched:sched_switch:prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=5580 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/5 next_pid=0 next_prio=120
    1001.005 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=sleep pid=5580 prio=120 target_cpu=005
    #

    And as we can see, the pathnames were collected via the eBPF augmenters.

    If we don't specify anything it'll trace all syscalls:

    # perf trace sleep 1 |& tail
    0.299 brk(0x5597543a3000) = 0x5597543a3000
    0.302 brk(NULL) = 0x5597543a3000
    0.307 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    0.313 fstat(3, 0x7feece50cac0) = 0
    0.315 mmap(NULL, 217750512, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7feec13a1000
    0.323 close(3) = 0
    0.354 nanosleep(0x7ffe338856e0, NULL) = 0
    1000.641 close(1) = 0
    1000.655 close(2) = 0
    1000.673 exit_group(0) = ?
    #

    Ditto if we don't use .perfconfig's trace.add_events but instead pass
    just the augmenter as a command line event:

    # vim ~/.perfconfig
    # egrep -B1 ^[[:space:]]+add_events ~/.perfconfig
    # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o sleep 1 |& tail
    0.294 brk(0x55ae08ec3000) = 0x55ae08ec3000
    0.297 brk(NULL) = 0x55ae08ec3000
    0.302 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
    0.309 fstat(3, 0x7f726488fac0) = 0
    0.311 mmap(NULL, 217750512, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7f7257724000
    0.319 close(3) = 0
    0.347 nanosleep(0x7ffe23643a70, NULL) = 0
    1000.560 close(1) = 0
    1000.575 close(2) = 0
    1000.593 exit_group(0) = ?
    #

    As well as that + some syscall names for strace-like formatting:

    # perf trace -e socket,connect,/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o ssh localhost
