I was trigger happy on this one, as using ordered_events as implemented
by Jiri for use with the --block code under discussion on lkml incurs
in delaying processing to form batches that then get ordered and then
printed.
With 'perf trace' we want to process the events as they go, without that
delay, and doing it that way works well for the common case which is to
trace a thread or a workload started by 'perf trace'.
So revert back to not using ordered_events but add an option to select
that mode so that users can experiment with their particular use case to
see if works better, i.e. if the added delay is not a problem and the
ordering helps.

This can be overridden by passing --proc-map-timeout to the relevant

This was split from a larger patch as there are code that is,

For now with BPF raw_augmented we hook into raw_syscalls:sys_enter and
there we get all 6 syscall args plus the tracepoint common fields
(sizeof(long)) and the syscall_nr (another long). So we check if that is
the case and if so don't look after the sc->args_size, but always after
the full raw_syscalls:sys_enter payload, which is fixed.
We'll revisit this later to pass s->args_size to the BPF augmenter (now
tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c, so that it copies only
what we need for each syscall, like what happens when we use
syscalls:sys_enter_NAME, so that we reduce the kernel/userspace traffic
to just what is needed for each syscall.

When trying to trace the 'umount' syscall on x86_64 I noticed that it
was failing:
# trace -e umount umount /mnt
event syntax error: 'umount'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
#
This is because in the x86-64 we have it just as 'umount2':
$ grep umount arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
166 common umount2 __x64_sys_umount
$
So if the syscall name fails, try fallbacking to looking at the aliases
we have in the syscall_fmts table to then re-lookup, now:
# trace -e umount umount -f /mnt
umount: /mnt: not mounted.
1.759 ( 0.004 ms): umount/18365 umount2(name: 0x55fbfcbc4480, flags: 1) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument

Take mount's 'flags' arg, to cope with this semantic, as defined in do_mount in fs/namespace.c:
/*
* Pre-0.97 versions of mount() didn't have a flags word. When the
* flags word was introduced its top half was required to have the
* magic value 0xC0ED, and this remained so until 2.4.0-test9.
* Therefore, if this magic number is present, it carries no
* information and must be discarded.
*/
We need to mask this arg, and then see if it is zero, when we simply
don't print the arg name and value.
The next patch will use this for mount's 'flag' arg.

This is the final touch in showing how a syscall argument beautifier can
access the augmented args put in place by the
tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c eBPF script, right after
the regular raw syscall args, i.e. the up to 6 long integer values in
the syscall interface.
With this we are able to show the 'openat' syscall arg, now with up to
64 bytes, but in time this will be configurable, just like with the
'strace -s strsize' argument, from 'strace''s man page:
-s strsize Specify the maximum string size to print (the default is 32).
This actually is the maximum string to _collect_ and store in the ring
buffer, not just print.

#
This cset should show all the aspects of establishing a protocol between
an eBPF syscall arg augmenter program, tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c and
a 'perf trace' beautifier, the one associated with all 'char *' point
syscall args with names that can heuristically be associated with
filenames.
Now to wire up 'open' to show a second syscall using this scheme, all we
have to do now is to change tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,
as 'perf trace' will notice that the perf_sample.raw_size is more than
what is expected for a particular syscall payload as defined by its
tracefs format file and will then use the augmented payload in the
'filename' syscall arg beautifier.
The same protocol will be used for structs such as 'struct sockaddr *',
'struct pollfd', etc, with additions for handling arrays.
This will all be done under the hood when 'perf trace' realizes the
system has the necessary components, and also can be done by providing
a precompiled augmented_syscalls.c eBPF ELF object.

Will be used with augmented syscalls, where we haven't transitioned
completely to combining sys_enter_FOO with sys_exit_FOO, so we'll go
as far as having it similar to the end result, strace like, as possible.

If the tracepoint payload is bigger than what a syscall expected from
what is in its format file in tracefs, then that will be used as
augmented args, i.e. the expansion of syscall arg pointers, with things
like a filename, structs, etc.

We just check that the evsel is the one we associated with the
bpf-output event associated with the "__augmented_syscalls__" eBPF map,
to show that the formatting is done properly:
# perf trace -e perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
0.000 ( ): __augmented_syscalls__:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x43e06da8, flags: CLOEXEC
0.006 ( ): syscalls:sys_enter_openat:dfd: CWD, filename: 0x43e06da8, flags: CLOEXEC

#
Now we just need to get the full blown enter/exit handlers to check if the
evsel being processed is the augmented_syscalls one to go pick the pointer
payloads from the end of the payload.
We also need to state somehow what is the layout for multi pointer arg syscalls.
Also handy would be to have a BTF file with the struct definitions used in
syscalls, compact, generated at kernel built time and available for use in eBPF
programs.
Till we get there we can go on doing some manual coupling of the most relevant
syscalls with some hand built beautifiers.

The payload that is put in place by the eBPF script attached to
syscalls:sys_enter_openat (and other syscalls with pointers, in the
future) can be consumed by the existing sys_enter beautifiers if
evsel->priv is setup with a struct syscall_tp with struct tp_fields for
the 'syscall_id' and 'args' fields expected by the beautifiers, this
patch does just that.

We're calling it to setup that event, and we'll need it later to decide
if the bpf-output event we're handling is the one setup for a specific

Add an example BPF script that writes syscalls:sys_enter_openat raw
tracepoint payloads augmented with the first 64 bytes of the "filename"
syscall pointer arg.
Then catch it and print it just like with things written to the
"__bpf_stdout__" map associated with a PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT software
event, by just letting the default tracepoint handler in 'perf trace',
trace__event_handler(), to use bpf_output__fprintf(trace, sample), just
like it does with all other PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT events, i.e. just
do a dump on the payload, so that we can check if what is being printed
has at least the first 64 bytes of the "filename" arg:
The augmented_syscalls.c eBPF script:
# cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
#include <stdio.h>
struct bpf_map SEC("maps") __augmented_syscalls__ = {
.type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
.key_size = sizeof(int),
.value_size = sizeof(u32),
.max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
};
struct syscall_enter_openat_args {
unsigned long long common_tp_fields;
long syscall_nr;
long dfd;
char *filename_ptr;
long flags;
long mode;
};
struct augmented_enter_openat_args {
struct syscall_enter_openat_args args;
char filename[64];
};
int syscall_enter(openat)(struct syscall_enter_openat_args *args)
{
struct augmented_enter_openat_args augmented_args;
probe_read(&augmented_args.args, sizeof(augmented_args.args), args);
probe_read_str(&augmented_args.filename, sizeof(augmented_args.filename), args->filename_ptr);
perf_event_output(args, &__augmented_syscalls__, BPF_F_CURRENT_CPU,
&augmented_args, sizeof(augmented_args));
return 1;
}
license(GPL);
#
So it will just prepare a raw_syscalls:sys_enter payload for the
"openat" syscall.
This will eventually be done for all syscalls with pointer args,
globally or just when the user asks, using some spec, which args of
which syscalls it wants "expanded" this way, we'll probably start with
just all the syscalls that have char * pointers with familiar names, the
ones we already handle with the probe:vfs_getname kprobe if it is in
place hooking the kernel getname_flags() function used to copy from user
the paths.
Running it we get:
# perf trace -e perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c,openat cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
0.000 ( ): __augmented_syscalls__:X?.C......................`\..................../etc/ld.so.cache..#......,....ao.k...............k......1.".........

#
We need to go on optimizing this to avoid seding trash or zeroes in the
pointer content payload, using the return from bpf_probe_read_str(), but
to keep things simple at this stage and make incremental progress, lets
leave it at that for now.

Mapping "__syscall_nr" to "id" and setting up "args" from the offset of
"__syscall_nr" + sizeof(u64), as the payload for syscalls:* is the same

To avoid having to ask libtraceevent to find a field by name when
handling each tracepoint event, we setup a struct syscall_tp with
a tp_field struct having an extractor function + the offset for the
"id", "args" and "ret" raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints.
Now that we want to do the same with syscalls:sys_{entry,exit}_NAME
individual syscall tracepoints, where we have "id" as "__syscall_nr" and
"args" as the actual series of per syscall parameters, we need more
flexibility from the routines that set up these pre-looked up syscall
tracepoint arg fields.
The next cset will use it.

Because raw_syscalls have the field for the syscall number as 'id' while
the syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}_NAME have it as __syscall_nr...
Since we want to support both for being able to enable just a
syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}_name instead of asking for
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} plus filters, make the method names for
each kind of tracepoint more explicit.

We were using the beautifiers only when processing the
raw_syscalls:sys_enter events, but we can as well use them for the
syscalls:sys_enter_NAME events, as the layout is the same.
Some more tweaking is needed as we're processing them straight away,
i.e. there is no buffering in the sys_enter_NAME event to wait for
things like vfs_getname to provide pointer contents and then flushing
at sys_exit_NAME, so we need to state in the syscall_arg that this
is unbuffered, just print the pointer values, beautifying just
non-pointer syscall args.
This just shows an alternative way of processing tracepoints, that we
will end up using when creating "tracepoint" payloads that already copy
pointer contents (or chunks of it, i.e. not the whole filename, but just
the end of it, not all the bf for a read/write, but just the start,
etc), directly in the kernel using eBPF.
E.g.:
# perf trace -e syscalls:*enter*sleep,*sleep sleep 1
0.303 ( ): syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep:rqtp: 0x7ffc93d5ecc0
0.305 (1000.229 ms): sleep/8746 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffc93d5ecc0) = 0
# perf trace -e syscalls:*_*sleep,*sleep sleep 1
0.288 ( ): syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep:rqtp: 0x7ffecde87e40
0.289 ( ): sleep/8748 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffecde87e40) ...
1000.479 ( ): syscalls:sys_exit_nanosleep:0x0
0.289 (1000.208 ms): sleep/8748 ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0

When the vfs_getname() wannabe tracepoint is in place:
# perf probe -l
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:73@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)
#
'perf trace' will use it to get the pathname when it is copied from
userspace to the kernel, right after syscalls:sys_enter_open, copied
in the 'probe:vfs_getname', stash it somewhere and then, at
syscalls:sys_exit_open time, if the 'open' return is not -1, i.e. a
successfull open syscall, associate that pathname to this return, i.e.
the fd.
We were not doing this for the 'openat' syscall, which would cause 'perf
trace' to fallback to using /proc to get the fd, change it so that we
use what we got from probe:vfs_getname, reducing the 'openat'
beautification process cost, ditching the syscalls performed to read
procfs state and avoiding some possible races in the process.
