      fix a race condition between perf_reader munmap and read · cd5d4a6c

      Fix issue #1533.
      
      Currently, there exist a race condition between perf_reader
      buffer munmap and read if they are happening in two different
      threads, crash is possible as in issue #1533.
      
                thread 1                    thread 2
                perf_reader_event_read      ...
                                            detach_probe
                                            munmap
                access ring buffer
      
      detach_probe may happen as part of bpf object exit cleanup process
      at which point thread 1 is still alive. In this case, accessing
      ring buffer may cause segfault since the original mmap'ed memory
      is not available any more.
      
      It is hard to fix such races outside bcc since user
      calls kprobe_poll which has valid BPF object when it is called,
      but race happens inside the kprobe_poll.
      
      This patch adds a state of the ring buffer and the read will
      not happen once the state comes to the munmap.

      fix a trace_pipe output issue · 7a46dfe2
      Yonghong Song authored
      For trace_pipe output, the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
      output format looks like below for kernel 4.12 and earlier:
      ```
       <COMM>-<PID> [CPU] FLAGS TIMESTAMP: [SYMBOL]: USER_MESSAGES
      ```
      where if an internal address is not able to be resolved to
      a kernel symbol, `SYMBOL` will not be printed out at all.
      
      kernel 4.13 and later will have format like:
      ```
       <COMM>-<PID> [CPU] FLAGS TIMESTAMP: [SYMBOL_OR_ADDR]: USER_MESSAGES
      ```
      Basically, if an address is not able to resolved into a
      kernel symbol, the address itself will be printed out.
      The change was introduced by below commit:
      ```

          tracing: Show address when function names are not found
      
          Currently, when a function is not found in kallsyms, instead of simply
          showing the function address, it shows nothing at all:
      
           # echo ':mod:kvm_intel' > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

           # rmmod kvm_intel

          When it should show:
      
           qemu-system-x86-2408  [001] d..2   135.013238: 0xffffffffa02a39f0 <-kvm_arch_hardware_enable

          instead.
      ```
      
      This patch fixed the issue by parsing the trace_pipe output considering the
      `SYMBOL_OR_ADDRESS` field may or may not be empty.

      start adding -e/--ebpf option to the python tools/ scripts · ca4ba557
      Nathan Scott authored
      Several python tools allow their eBPF code to be printed to
      stdout for debugging.  There are other projects that would
      like to share these program definitions however, instead of
      duplicating code.  Formalise an -e/--ebpf option, and start
      using it in several tools (more to come).

      usdt: permit to enable probes from a pid and a particular binary · fead16ad
      Yonghong Song authored
      Currently, for usdt, the commands where both a pid and a binary path
      are specified are not well supported. For example,
      ```
      funccount -p <pid> 'u:<binary_path>:probe'
      ```
      will count `probe` occurances for all binary paths in `pid`, not just
      `<binary_path>`. The command
      ```
      argdist -p <pid> 'u:<binary_path>:probe():s64:arg1'
      ```
      will also count `probe` occurances for all binary paths in `pid`
      with my previous patch.
      
      Furthermore, suppose user want to trace linker `setjmp` probe point
      with command
      ```
      trace.py -p <pid> 'u:/usr/lib64/ld-2.17.so:setjmp'
      ```
      Without my previous patch, user will have incorrect results as both
      `libc:setjmp` and `rtld:setjmp` exists and the bcc just picks the first
      one which is `libc:setjmp`. My last patch will cause `enable_probe`
      failures if in the same usdt context, two probes have the same
      probe_name but different provider name.
      
      To fix all these issues, this patch passes additional binary path
      to the pid-based usdt context, so that only probes from that particular
      binary will be added to the context. This solved all the above
      mentioned issues.

      usdt: permit each probe to have locations from more than one binary path · 24894573
      Yonghong Song authored
      Fixing issue #1515.
      
      Currently, each usdt probe (provider, probe_name) can only
      have locations from the single binary. It is possible that
      USDT probes are defined in a header file which eventually causes
      the same usdt probe having locations in several different
      binary/shared_objects. In such cases, we are not able to attach
      the same bpf program to all these locations.
      
      This patch addresses this issue by defining each location to
      be `bin_path + addr_offset` vs. previous `addr_offset` only.
      This way, each internal Probe class can represent all locations
      for the same (provider, probe_name) pair.
      
      The `tplist.py` output is re-organized with the (provider, probe_name)
      in the top level like below:
      ```
      ...
      rtld:lll_futex_wake [sema 0x0]
        location #1 /usr/lib64/ld-2.17.so 0xaac8
          argument #1 8 unsigned bytes @ di
          argument #2 4 signed   bytes @ 1
          argument #3 4 signed   bytes @ 0
        location #2 /usr/lib64/ld-2.17.so 0xe9b9
          argument #1 8 unsigned bytes @ di
          argument #2 4 signed   bytes @ 1
          argument #3 4 signed   bytes @ 0
        location #3 /usr/lib64/ld-2.17.so 0xef3b
          argument #1 8 unsigned bytes @ di
          argument #2 4 signed   bytes @ 1
          argument #3 4 signed   bytes @ 0
      ...
      ```
      
      Tested with the following commands
      ```
        tplist.py
        trace.py -p <pid> 'u::probe "arg1 = %d", arg1'
        trace.py u:<binary_path>:probe "arg1 = %d", arg1'
        argdist.py -p <pid> 'u::probe():s64:arg1'
        argdist.py -C 'u:<binary_path>:probe():s64:arg1'
        funccount.py -p <pid> 'u:<binary_path>:probe'
        funccount.py 'u:<binary_path>:probe'

      usdt: ignore location with incorrect probe virtual address · bf2a8111
      Yonghong Song authored
      The patch fixed issue #1528. The linker ld.gold may generate
      a probe with invalid virtual address if the section which the probe
      relocates against is discarded.
      
      Instead of failing, a simple checking is added such that
      if the probe virtual address is less than the address of the first
      instruction, print out a warning and ignore this probe.
