    perf tools: Load eBPF object into kernel · 1e5e3ee8
    Wang Nan 提交于
    This patch utilizes bpf_object__load() provided by libbpf to load all
    objects into kernel.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Testing it:
    
    When using an incorrect kernel version number, i.e., having this in your
    eBPF proggie:
    
      int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40100;
    
    For a 4.3.0-rc6+ kernel, say, this happens and needs checking at event
    parsing time, to provide a better error report to the user:
    
      # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
      libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument
      libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG ---
      libbpf:
    
      libbpf: -- END LOG --
      libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork'
      libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o'
      event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
                           \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel?
    
      (add -v to see detail)
      Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
    
       Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
          or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
    
          -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
    
    If we instead make it match, i.e. use 0x40300 on this v4.3.0-rc6+
    kernel, the whole process goes thru:
    
      # perf record --event /tmp/foo.o -a usleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.202 MB perf.data ]
      # perf evlist -v
      /tmp/foo.o: type: 1, size: 112, config: 0x9, { sample_period,
      sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD, disabled: 1,
      inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1,
      exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
