      implement free_bcc_memory() API (#2097) · 51480d05
      yonghong-song authored
      The main purpose of this API is to proactively release llvm/clang
      .text memory which is brought in during compilation.
      bcc .text memory for some other functions, e.g., attach_tracepoint,
      bpf_prog_load, etc. can also be freed after all these tasks are done.
      
      Note that such memory is reclaimable in kernel since it has
      file backup. But certain applicaiton may want to reduce this
      memory immediately to satisfy constraints imposed by sysadmin, etc.
      
      The implementation uses madvise with MADV_DONTNEED.
      For the case where bcc is static linked into the binary,
      we do not really know the start and the end of memory regions
      used by bcc, so the implementation here bluntly returned
      all .text memory back to kernel. This will incur some performance
      overhead as later on executed instructions will need to bring
      back to memory again.
      
      For static linked library, instrumented RandomRead example,
      without this patch, the RSS memory before load is:
        VmRSS:     63644 kB
        RssAnon:           23876 kB
        RssFile:           39768 kB
        RssShmem:              0 kB
      
      After this patch,
        VmRSS:     34264 kB
        RssAnon:           23880 kB
        RssFile:           10384 kB
        RssShmem:              0 kB
      
      For shared library, a python unit test, test_free_llvm_memory.py, is
      added, which shows for a do-nothing bpf program, we have
        Before freeing llvm memory: RssFile:  43000 kB
        After  freeing llvm memory: RssFile:  11992 kB
      
      The RssFile reduction on Facebook internal applications
      also ranges in 30-40MB.

      Make dependency on LLVM native target optional (#2080) · 61c063ae
      torgil authored
      * Make dependency on LLVM native target optional
      
      Adds an option ENABLE_LLVM_NATIVECODEGEN with default value ON.
      If set to off the "nativecodegen" llvm will not be enabled, thus
      reducing dependencies on needed libraries (reduced text size when
      building with statically linked libraries).
      
      Code that uses native target will not be compiled reducing text size.
      Currently this affects the rw_engine which needs the native target.
      
      BPF api "rw_engine_enabled" will have default value "true" if
      ENABLE_LLVM_NATIVECODEGEN="ON" and "false" if
      ENABLE_LLVM_NATIVECODEGEN="OFF"
      
      Not needed for BCC to work. It somehow brought in the interpreter and
      executionengine which is needed. Those features are added instead.
      
      * Remove garbage in code making it compile again
      
      * Remove interpreter and executionengine LLVM dependencies
      
      These doesn't seem to be needed on a Ubuntu 18.04 system (although
      executionengine is heavily used).
      
      Interpreter was added due to runtime dependency on ARM64. It brings in
      a dependency on ffi library.

      dbslower: fix a python3 bytes/string issue int the -x option · bffd94f3
      Jerome Marchand authored
      In python3, the find method requires a bytes-like object. It fixes the
      following error:
      
      $ dbslower mysql -x $(which mysqld)
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "/usr/share/bcc/tools/dbslower", line 72, in <module>
          if mysql_func_name.find("COM_DATA") >= 0:
      TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
      
      Also the -x option is currently undocumented in the man page and the
      example file. So let's ix that too.

      William Cohen authored
      * Reduce instrumentation overhead with the sys_enter and sys_exit tracepoints
      
      The ucalls script initially used kprobes and kretprobes on each of the
      hundreds of syscalls functions in the system.  This approach causes a
      large number of probes to be set up at the start and removed at the
      conclusion of the script's execution resulting in slow start up.
      
      Like the syscount.py script the ucall syscall instrumentation has been
      modified to use the sys_enter and sys_exit tracepoints.  This only
      requires the installation and removal of one or two tracepoints to
      implement and results in much shorter times to start and stop the
      ucalls script.
      
      Another benefit of this change is syscalls on newer kernels will be
      monitored with the "-S" option.  The regular expression used to find
      the locations for the kprobes and kretprobes for all the possible
      syscall functions would not would match the syscall function naming
      convention in newer kernels.
      
      * Update ucalls_examples.txt to match current "-S" option output
      
      * Add required "import subprocess" and remove unneeded "global syscalls"
      
      * Factor out the syscall_name code into a separate python module syscall.py
      
      Multiple scripts are going to find the syscall_name() function useful
      when using the syscall tracepoints.  Factoring out this code into a
      separate python module avoids having to replicate this code in
      multiple scripts.
      
      * Use the syscall_name() function in syscount.py to make it more compact.
      
      * Update the default syscall mappings and the way that they were generated
      
      The default table was missing some newer syscall mapping. Regenerated
      the table using the syscallent.h file from Fedora 30
      strace-4.25-1.fc30.src.rpm.  Also updated the comment with the command
      actually used to generate the mappings.
      
      * Add license information and upsdate the syscalls
      
      The default x86_64 syscall dictionary mapping syscalls numbers to
      names has been updated. The following syscall x86_64 names have been
      updated:
      
          18: b"pwrite64",
          60: b"exit",
          166: b"umount2",
      
      The following syscall x86_64 have been added:
      
          313: b"finit_module",
          314: b"sched_setattr",
          315: b"sched_getattr",
          316: b"renameat2",
          317: b"seccomp",
          318: b"getrandom",
          319: b"memfd_create",
          320: b"kexec_file_load",
          321: b"bpf",
          322: b"execveat",
          323: b"userfaultfd",
          324: b"membarrier",
          325: b"mlock2",
          326: b"copy_file_range",
          327: b"preadv2",
          328: b"pwritev2",
          329: b"pkey_mprotect",
          330: b"pkey_alloc",
          331: b"pkey_free",
          332: b"statx",
          333: b"io_pgetevents",
          334: b"rseq",
      
      * Eliminate stderr output and use of shell features
      
      Redirect all stderr output so it isn't seen.  Also avoid use of the
      shell pipe and tail command.  Just strip off the first line in the
      python code instead.
      
      * Update lib/ucalls.py smoke test to required linux-4.7
      
      The use of tracepoints in the ucalls.py requires linux-4.7. Changed
      the test to only run with a suitable kernel.  The libs/ucalls.py
      script is no longer inserting hundreds of kprobes and is much faster
      as a result, so removed the timeout adjustment and the comment about
      it being slow.

      The error is introduced by the following commit:
      https://reviews.llvm.org/rL348053
      
      Basically, the clang FieldDecl method EvaluateAsInt signature got
      changed and there is no compatible way in the llvm/clang
      to also work in the old versions. So this patch just provided
      a new implementation to get field value for llvm version 8 and later.

      There have been some updates the code in the examples.  The tutorial

      As the declaration of `exe_path` is `char exe_path[4096]`,
      the `sizeof(exe_path)` would always return 4096 (unsigned), so it's safe
      to static cast to `int` unless it's larger than 2^31 - 1.

      Fix funcslower stack traces when using arguments (#2040) · 6bbdb9c6
      Sandipan Das authored
      This reorders the struct data_t members so that the definition
      is consistent across the c code and the corresponding python
      ct.Structure.
      
      Upon running the script with the arguments option, the user and
      kernel stack ids read from the stack maps are incorrect as they
      are read off the wrong structure offsets. When a stack walk is
      attempted on an incorrect stack id, we end up with a KeyError.
      
      This has been verified as shown below.

      Fix issue #2035.
      
      For code like
          int i;
          int j = 0;
          const int last_index = payload_offset + 7;
          for (i = payload_offset ; i < last_index ; i++) {
                     p[j] = load_byte(skb , i);
      
      Here, the payload_offset is unknown. llvm 7.0 and trunk
      compiler seems generating code like
         p[0] = load_byte(skb, payload_offset)
         if (payload_offset + 1 < last_index) {
            p[1] = ...
            ...
            p[6] = ...
         } else {
            /* do nothing */
         }
         /* accessing p[0], p[1], ..., p[6] */
      
      The compiler did the above transformation because the potential
      overflow for last_index and/or payload_offset + 1 in which case
      compiler preserved both branches.
      
      This caused a problem for verifier as in the else branch
      p[1] is not assigned and the verifier will reject the program.
      
      Changing the loop to simply iterate from 0 to 6 fixed the problem.

      Fix uprobes on powerpc64 (#2032) · bbd4180c
      Sandipan Das authored
      * Use correct entry point for uprobes on powerpc64
      
      For powerpc64 (big endian), the address of a function is the
      address of the corresponding function descriptor. While the
      actual functions reside in the ".text" section, the function
      descriptors are present in the ".opd" section. According to
      the ABI, each descriptor is a tri-doubleword data structure
      where the first doubleword is the actual entry point address.
      
      The symbol table entries do not list actual entry points but
      instead provide the location of the function descriptor. So,
      when attaching a probe, the location should be changed to the
      actual entry point by peeking into the function descriptor.
      
      This has been verified as shown below.
      
        $ readelf -S /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so | grep -A1 ".opd"
          [30] .opd              PROGBITS         0000000000213648  00203648
               000000000000bcb8  0000000000000000  WA       0     0     8
      
      The first column shows the index of the ".opd" section.
      
        $ readelf -s /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so | grep "inet_pton$"
          3405: 000000000021d168    96 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   30 __inet_pton
          3990: 000000000021d168    96 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   30 __GI___inet_pton
          5167: 000000000021d168    96 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT   30 __GI_inet_pton
          6514: 000000000021d168    96 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   30 inet_pton
      
      The seventh column shows the index of the section to which the
      symbols belong. This implies that all of these symbols are from
      the ".opd" section.
      
        $ objdump -d --section=.opd /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so | grep -A5 "inet_pton>:"
        000000000021d168 <inet_pton>:
          21d168:       00 00 00 00     .long 0x0
          21d16c:       00 17 2b 40     .long 0x172b40
          21d170:       00 00 00 00     .long 0x0
          21d174:       00 22 73 00     .long 0x227300
      
        $ objdump -d /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so | grep -A5 "inet_pton>:"
        0000000000172b40 <.__inet_pton>:
          172b40:       7c 08 02 a6     mflr    r0
          172b44:       fb c1 ff f0     std     r30,-16(r1)
          172b48:       fb e1 ff f8     std     r31,-8(r1)
          172b4c:       7c 7f 1b 78     mr      r31,r3
          172b50:       7c 83 23 78     mr      r3,r4
      
      The first doubleword in the descriptor of "inet_pton" gives the
      actual entry point address i.e. 0x172b40. So, the probe must be
      attached here and not 0x21d168.

      * Use correct entry point for uprobes on powerpc64le
      
      For powerpc64le, functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP)
      and a Local Entry Point (LEP). When using the GEP, there
      are some additional instructions at the beginning of the
      function that setup the TOC pointer. However, for all local
      calls, the TOC pointer is not required and a function can
      be called into directly via the LEP.
      
      While placing a uprobe, we should always prefer the LEP as
      the probe location since this will be encountered for any
      call through either the GEP or the LEP. Currently, the GEP
      is used as the probe location and hence the corresponding
      event is never triggered when the function is called via
      it's LEP.
      
      Information about the LEP can be obtained from the st_other
      field of an Elf symbol. While this field typically provides
      visibility information, the three most significant bits can
      provide additional information about the offset of the Local
      Entry Point (LEP) from the Global Entry Point (GEP) for any
      symbol in case of powerpc64le.
      
      This has been verified as shown below.
