e0337f4f9a perf test bpf: Hook on epoll_pwait()
The 'perf test bpf' was hooking a eBPF program on the SyS_epoll_wait()
kernel function, that was what the epoll_wait() glibc function ended up
calling, but since at least glibc 2.26, the one that comes with, for
instance, Fedora 27, glibc ends up calling SyS_epoll_pwait() when
epoll_wait() is used, causing this 'perf test' entry to fail.

So switch to using epoll_pwait() and hook the eBPF program to the
SyS_epoll_pwait() kernel function to make it work on a wider range of
glibc and kernel versions.

c369e0a1a8 perf tests bpf: Use SyS_epoll_wait alias
Something made the sys_epoll_wait() function alias not to be found in
the vmlinux DWARF info, being found only in /proc/kallsyms, which made
the BPF perf tests to fail:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : FAILED!
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Skip
  37.3: Test BPF relocation checker                            : Skip
  [root@jouet ~]#

Using -v we can see it is failing to find DWARF info for the probed function,
sys_epoll_wait, which we can find in /proc/kallsyms but not in vmlinux with
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO:

  [root@jouet ~]# grep -w sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
  [root@jouet ~]#

  [root@jouet ~]# readelf -wi /lib/modules/4.7.0+/build/vmlinux | grep -w sys_epoll_wait
  [root@jouet ~]#

If we try to use perf probe:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe sys_epoll_wait
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffbd295b50
Probe point 'sys_epoll_wait' not found.
  Error: Failed to add events.
[root@jouet ~]#

It all works if we use SyS_epoll_wait, that is just an alias to the probed
function:

  [root@jouet ~]# grep -i sys_epoll_wait /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffffbd295b50 T SyS_epoll_wait
  ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
  [root@jouet ~]#

So use it:

  [root@jouet ~]# perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : Ok
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Ok
  37.3: Test BPF relocation checker                            : Ok
  [root@jouet ~]#

Further info:

  [root@jouet ~]# gcc --version
  gcc (GCC) 6.1.1 20160621 (Red Hat 6.1.1-3)
  [acme@jouet linux]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
  Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)

Investigation as to why it fails is still underway, but it was always
going from sys_epoll_wait to SyS_epoll_wait when looking up the DWARF
info in vmlinux, and this is what is breaking now.

Switching to use SyS_epoll_wait allows this test to proceed and test the
BPF code it was designed for, so lets have this in to allow passing this
test while we fix the root cause.

4ffde49246 perf test bpf: Use epoll_wait() instead of epoll_pwait()
The prototype for epoll_wait() is available in older distros, so use it
instead of epoll_pwait() (removing the last NULL arg, the sigmask,
makes it the same thing anyway) to avoid breaking the build.

b31de018a6 perf test: Enhance the LLVM test: update basic BPF test program
This patch replaces the original toy BPF program with the previously
introduced bpf-script-example.c. Dynamically embeddeding it into
'llvm-src-base.c'.

The newly introduced BPF program attaches a BPF program to
'sys_epoll_pwait()'. perf itself never use that syscall, so further test
can verify their result with it. The program would generate 1 sample in
every 2 calls of epoll_pwait() system call.

Since the resulting BPF object is useful per se for further tests,
test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj() is introduced for creating BPF objects from
source. The LLVM test was rewritten to use it.

Committer note:

Running it:

d509db0473 perf tools: Compile scriptlets to BPF objects when passing '.c' to --event
This patch provides infrastructure for passing source files to --event
directly using:

 # perf record --event bpf-file.c command

This patch does following works:

 1) Allow passing '.c' file to '--event'. parse_events_load_bpf() is
    expanded to allow caller tell it whether the passed file is source
    file or object.

 2) llvm__compile_bpf() is called to compile the '.c' file, the result
    is saved into memory. Use bpf_object__open_buffer() to load the
    in-memory object.

Introduces a bpf-script-example.c so we can manually test it:

 # perf record --clang-opt "-DLINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40200" --event ./bpf-script-example.c sleep 1

Note that '--clang-opt' must put before '--event'.

Futher patches will merge it into a testcase so can be tested automatically.
