Trying to control what arguments to copy, which ones were strings, etc
all from userspace via maps went nowhere, lots of difficulties to get
the verifier satisfied, so use what the fine BPF guys designed for such
a syscall handling mechanism: bpf_tail_call + BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY.
The series leading to this should have explained it thoroughly, but the
end result, explained via gdb should help understand this:

I.e. for a syscall that has its second argument being a string, its
difficult these days to find 'open' being used in the wild :-)

So, we use a PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT to output the augmented sys_enter
payload, i.e. to output more than just the raw syscall args, and if
something goes wrong when handling an unfiltered syscall, we bail out
and just return 1 in the bpf program associated with
raw_syscalls:sys_enter, meaning, don't filter that tracepoint, in which
case what will appear in the perf ring buffer isn't the BPF_OUTPUT
event, but the original raw_syscalls:sys_enter event with its normal
payload.
Now that we're switching to using a bpf_tail_call +
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY we're going to use this in the common case, so a
bug where raw_syscalls:sys_enter wasn't being handled by
trace__sys_enter() surfaced and for that case, instead of using the
strace-like augmenter (trace__sys_enter()), we continued to use the
normal generic tracepoint handler:
(gdb) p evsel
$2 = (struct perf_evsel *) 0xc03e40
(gdb) p evsel->name
$3 = 0xbc56c0 "raw_syscalls:sys_enter"
(gdb) p ((struct perf_evsel *) 0xc03e40)->name
$4 = 0xbc56c0 "raw_syscalls:sys_enter"
(gdb) p ((struct perf_evsel *) 0xc03e40)->handler
$5 = (void *) 0x495eb3 <trace__event_handler>
This resulted in this:
0.027 raw_syscalls:sys_enter:NR 12 (0, 7fcfcac64c9b, 4d, 7fcfcac64c9b, 7fcfcac6ce00, 19)
... [continued]: brk()) = 0x563b88677000
I.e. only the sys_exit tracepoint was being properly handled, but since
the sys_enter went to the generic trace__event_handler() we printed it
using libtraceevent's formatter instead of 'perf trace's strace-like
one.
Fix it by setting trace__sys_enter() as the handler for
raw_syscalls:sys_enter and setup the tp_field tracepoint field
accessors.
Now, to test it we just make raw_syscalls:sys_enter return 1 right after
checking if the pid is filtered, making it not use
bpf_perf_output_event() but rather ask for the tracepoint not to be
filtered and the result is the expected one:
brk(NULL) = 0x556f42d6e000
I.e. raw_syscalls:sys_enter returns 1, gets handled by
trace__sys_enter() and gets it combined with the raw_syscalls:sys_exit
in a strace-like way.

I.e. look for "syscalls_sys_enter" and "syscalls_sys_exit" BPF maps of
type PROG_ARRAY and populate it with the handlers as specified per
syscall, for now only 'open' is wiring it to something, in time all
syscalls that need to copy arguments entering a syscall or returning
from one will set these to the right handlers, reusing when possible
pre-existing ones.
Next step is to use bpf_tail_call() into that.

This is a step in the direction of being able to use a
BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY to handle syscalls that need to copy pointer
payloads in addition to the raw tracepoint syscall args.
There is a first example in
tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c for the 'open' syscall.
Next step is to introduce the prog array map and use this 'open'
augmenter, then use that augmenter in other syscalls that also only copy
the first arg as a string, and then show how to use with a syscall that
reads more than one filename, like 'rename', etc.

Will be used to assign to syscalls that don't need augmentation, i.e.
those with just integer args.
All syscalls will be in a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY, and the
bpf_tail_call() keyed by the syscall id will either find nothing in
place, which means the syscall is being filtered, or a function that
will either add things like filenames to the ring buffer, right after
the raw syscall args, or be this unaugmented handler that will just
return 1, meaning don't filter the original
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoint.
For now it is not really being used, this is just leg work to break the
patch into smaller pieces.
It introduces a trace__find_bpf_program_by_title() helper that in turn
uses libbpf's bpf_object__find_program_by_title() on the BPF object with
the __augmented_syscalls__ map. "title" is how libbpf calls the SEC()
argument for functions, i.e. the ELF section that follows a convention
to specify what BPF program (a function with this SEC() marking) should
be connected to which tracepoint, kprobes, etc.
In perf anything that is of the form SEC("sys:event_name") will be
connected to that tracepoint by perf's BPF loader.
In this case its something that will be bpf_tail_call()ed from either
the "raw_syscalls:sys_enter" or "raw_syscall:sys_exit" tracepoints, so
its named "!raw_syscalls:unaugmented" to convey that idea, i.e. its not
going to be directly attached to a tracepoint, thus it starts with a
"!".

With BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY + bpf_tail_call() we want to have BPF
programs, i.e. functions in a object file that perf's BPF loader
shouldn't try to attach to anything, i.e. "!syscalls:sys_enter_open"
should just stay there, not be attached to a tracepoint with that name,
it'll be used by, for instance, 'perf trace' to associate with syscalls
that copy, in addition to the syscall raw args, a filename pointed by
the first arg, i.e. multiple syscalls that need copying the same pointer
arg in the same way, as a filename, for instance, will share the same
BPF program/function.
Right now when perf's BPF loader sees a function with a name
"sys:name" it'll look for a tracepoint and will associate that BPF
program with it, say:
SEC("raw_syscalls:sys_enter")
int sys_enter(struct syscall_enter_args *args)
{
//SNIP
}
Will crate a perf_evsel tracepoint event and then associate with it that
BPF program.
This convention at some point will switch to the one used by the BPF
loader in libbpf, but to experiment with BPF_MAP_TYPE_PROG_ARRAY in
'perf trace' lets do this, that will not require changing too much
stuff.

When building our local version of perf with MSAN (Memory Sanitizer) and
running the perf record command, MSAN throws a use of uninitialized
value warning in "tools/perf/util/util.c:333:6".
This warning stems from the "buf" variable being passed into "write".
It originated as the variable "ev" with the type union perf_event*
defined in the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".
In the "perf_event__synthesize_attr" function they allocate space with a malloc
call using ev, then go on to only assign some of the member variables before
passing "ev" on as a parameter to the "process" function therefore "ev"
contains uninitialized memory. Changing the malloc call to zalloc to initialize
all the members of "ev" which gets rid of the warning.
To reproduce this warning, build perf by running:
make -C tools/perf CLANG=1 CC=clang EXTRA_CFLAGS="-fsanitize=memory\
-fsanitize-memory-track-origins"
(Additionally, llvm might have to be installed and clang might have to
be specified as the compiler - export CC=/usr/bin/clang)
then running:
tools/perf/perf record -o - ls / | tools/perf/perf --no-pager annotate\
-i - --stdio
Please see the cover letter for why false positive warnings may be
generated.

When perf_add_probe_events() we call cleanup_perf_probe_events() for the
pev pointer it receives, then, as part of handling this failure the main
'perf probe' goes on and calls cleanup_params() and that will again call
cleanup_perf_probe_events()for the same pointer, so just set nevents to
zero when handling the failure of perf_add_probe_events() to avoid the
double free.

So that, when perf_add_probe_events() fails, like in:
# perf probe icmp_rcv:64 "type=icmph->type"
Failed to find 'icmph' in this function.
Error: Failed to add events.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
#
We don't segfault.
clear_perf_probe_event() was zeroing the whole pev, and since the switch
to zfree() for the members in the pev, that memset() was removed, which
left nargs with its original value, in the above case 1.
With the memset the same pev could be passed to clear_perf_probe_event()
multiple times, since all it would have would be zeroes, and free()
accepts zero, the loop would not happen and we would just memset it
again to zeroes.
Without it we got that segfault, so zero nargs to keep it like it was,
next cset will avoid calling clear_perf_probe_event() for the same pevs
in case of failure.

Numfor Mbiziwo-Tiapo reported segfault on stat of event group in repeat
mode:
# perf stat -e '{cycles,instructions}' -r 10 ls
It's caused by memory corruption due to not cleaned evsel's id array and
index, which needs to be rebuilt in every stat iteration. Currently the
ids index grows, while the array (which is also not freed) has the same
size.
Fixing this by releasing id array and zeroing ids index in
perf_evsel__close function.
We also need to keep the evsel_list alive for stat record (which is
disabled in repeat mode).

- Export switch events to the database.
BPF:
- Bump rlimit(MEMLOCK) for 'perf test bpf' and 'perf trace', just

exhaustion of this limit, which are kinda cryptic (EPERM sometimes)
less frequent.
