      ====================
      
      Changes v6 => v7:
      1. Improve/fix intel_pmu_snapshot_branch_stack() logic. (Peter).
      
      Changes v5 => v6:
      1. Add local_irq_save/restore to intel_pmu_snapshot_branch_stack. (Peter)
      2. Remove buf and size check in bpf_get_branch_snapshot, move flags check
         to later fo the function. (Peter, Andrii)
      3. Revise comments for bpf_get_branch_snapshot in bpf.h (Andrii)
      
      Changes v4 => v5:
      1. Modify perf_snapshot_branch_stack_t to save some memcpy. (Andrii)
      2. Minor fixes in selftests. (Andrii)
      
      Changes v3 => v4:
      1. Do not reshuffle intel_pmu_disable_all(). Use some inline to save LBR
         entries. (Peter)
      2. Move static_call(perf_snapshot_branch_stack) to the helper. (Alexei)
      3. Add argument flags to bpf_get_branch_snapshot. (Andrii)
      4. Make MAX_BRANCH_SNAPSHOT an enum (Andrii). And rename it as
         PERF_MAX_BRANCH_SNAPSHOT
      5. Make bpf_get_branch_snapshot similar to bpf_read_branch_records.
         (Andrii)
      6. Move the test target function to bpf_testmod. Updated kallsyms_find_next
         to work properly with modules. (Andrii)
      
      Changes v2 => v3:
      1. Fix the use of static_call. (Peter)
      2. Limit the use to perfmon version >= 2. (Peter)
      3. Modify intel_pmu_snapshot_branch_stack() to use intel_pmu_disable_all
         and intel_pmu_enable_all().
      
      Changes v1 => v2:
      1. Rename the helper as bpf_get_branch_snapshot;
      2. Fix/simplify the use of static_call;
      3. Instead of percpu variables, let intel_pmu_snapshot_branch_stack output
         branch records to an output argument of type perf_branch_snapshot.
      
      Branch stack can be very useful in understanding software events. For
      example, when a long function, e.g. sys_perf_event_open, returns an errno,
      it is not obvious why the function failed. Branch stack could provide very
      helpful information in this type of scenarios.
      
      This set adds support to read branch stack with a new BPF helper
      bpf_get_branch_trace(). Currently, this is only supported in Intel systems.
      It is also possible to support the same feaure for PowerPC.
      
      The hardware that records the branch stace is not stopped automatically on
      software events. Therefore, it is necessary to stop it in software soon.
      Otherwise, the hardware buffers/registers will be flushed. One of the key
      design consideration in this set is to minimize the number of branch record
      entries between the event triggers and the hardware recorder is stopped.
      Based on this goal, current design is different from the discussions in
      original RFC [1]:
       1) Static call is used when supported, to save function pointer
          dereference;
       2) intel_pmu_lbr_disable_all is used instead of perf_pmu_disable(),
          because the latter uses about 10 entries before stopping LBR.
      
      With current code, on Intel CPU, LBR is stopped after 7 branch entries
      after fexit triggers:
      
      ID: 0 from bpf_get_branch_snapshot+18 to intel_pmu_snapshot_branch_stack+0
      ID: 1 from __brk_limit+477143934 to bpf_get_branch_snapshot+0
      ID: 2 from __brk_limit+477192263 to __brk_limit+477143880  # trampoline
      ID: 3 from __bpf_prog_enter+34 to __brk_limit+477192251
      ID: 4 from migrate_disable+60 to __bpf_prog_enter+9
      ID: 5 from __bpf_prog_enter+4 to migrate_disable+0
      ID: 6 from bpf_testmod_loop_test+20 to __bpf_prog_enter+0
      ID: 7 from bpf_testmod_loop_test+20 to bpf_testmod_loop_test+13
      ID: 8 from bpf_testmod_loop_test+20 to bpf_testmod_loop_test+13

      selftests/bpf: Add test for bpf_get_branch_snapshot · 025bd7c7
      Song Liu authored
      This test uses bpf_get_branch_snapshot from a fexit program. The test uses
      a target function (bpf_testmod_loop_test) and compares the record against
      kallsyms. If there isn't enough record matching kallsyms, the test fails.

      bpf: Introduce helper bpf_get_branch_snapshot · 856c02db
      Song Liu authored
      Introduce bpf_get_branch_snapshot(), which allows tracing pogram to get
      branch trace from hardware (e.g. Intel LBR). To use the feature, the
      user need to create perf_event with proper branch_record filtering
      on each cpu, and then calls bpf_get_branch_snapshot in the bpf function.
      On Intel CPUs, VLBR event (raw event 0x1b00) can be use for this.

      perf: Enable branch record for software events · c22ac2a3
      Song Liu authored
      The typical way to access branch record (e.g. Intel LBR) is via hardware
      perf_event. For CPUs with FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI support, PMI could capture
      reliable LBR. On the other hand, LBR could also be useful in non-PMI
      scenario. For example, in kretprobe or bpf fexit program, LBR could
      provide a lot of information on what happened with the function. Add API
      to use branch record for software use.
      
      Note that, when the software event triggers, it is necessary to stop the
      branch record hardware asap. Therefore, static_call is used to remove some
      branch instructions in this process.

      libbpf: Add LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE macro for scheduling API deprecations · 0b46b755
      Quentin Monnet authored
      Introduce a macro LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE(major, minor, message) to prepare
      the deprecation of two API functions. This macro marks functions as deprecated
      when libbpf's version reaches the values passed as an argument.
      
      As part of this change libbpf_version.h header is added with recorded major
      (LIBBPF_MAJOR_VERSION) and minor (LIBBPF_MINOR_VERSION) libbpf version macros.
      They are now part of libbpf public API and can be relied upon by user code.
      libbpf_version.h is installed system-wide along other libbpf public headers.
      
      Due to this new build-time auto-generated header, in-kernel applications
      relying on libbpf (resolve_btfids, bpftool, bpf_preload) are updated to
      include libbpf's output directory as part of a list of include search paths.
      Better fix would be to use libbpf's make_install target to install public API
      headers, but that clean up is left out as a future improvement. The build
      changes were tested by building kernel (with KBUILD_OUTPUT and O= specified
      explicitly), bpftool, libbpf, selftests/bpf, and resolve_btfids builds. No
      problems were detected.
      
      Note that because of the constraints of the C preprocessor we have to write
      a few lines of macro magic for each version used to prepare deprecation (0.6
      for now).
      
      Also, use LIBBPF_DEPRECATED_SINCE() to schedule deprecation of
      btf__get_from_id() and btf__load(), which are replaced by
      btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() and btf__load_into_kernel(), respectively,
      starting from future libbpf v0.6. This is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0]).

      Enable '-Werror' by default for all kernel builds · 3fe617cc

      ... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable
      it when required.
      
      We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific
      over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them.  But while I
      fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced
      by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings.
      
      So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people
      to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular
      issues.
      
      Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it
      can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if
      that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation.
      
      Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new
      warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place.
      
      Knock wood.
