This is to follow up Alexei's early effort to show bpf programs
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg524232.html
In this version, PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is introduced to send real time BPF load/unload events to user space. In user space, perf-record is modified to listen to these events (through a dedicated ring buffer) and generate detailed information about the program (struct bpf_prog_info_event). Then, perf-report translates these events into proper symbols.
With this set, perf-report will show bpf program as:
18.49% 0.16% test [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ksys_write 18.01% 0.47% test [kernel.vmlinux] [k] vfs_write 17.02% 0.40% test bpf_prog [k] bpf_prog_F 16.97% 0.10% test [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __vfs_write 16.86% 0.12% test [kernel.vmlinux] [k] comm_write 16.67% 0.39% test [kernel.vmlinux] [k] bpf_probe_read
Note that, the program name is still work in progress, it will be cleaner with function types in BTF.
Please share your comments on this.
Thanks, Song
