A common problem is confusing CPU map indices with the CPU, by wrapping
the CPU with a struct then this is avoided. This approach is similar to
atomic_t.
Committer notes:
To make it build with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1 these files needed the
conversions to 'struct perf_cpu' usage:
tools/perf/util/bpf_counter.c
tools/perf/util/bpf_counter_cgroup.c
tools/perf/util/bpf_ftrace.c
Also perf_env__get_cpu() was removed back in "perf cpumap: Switch
cpu_map__build_map to cpu function".
Additionally these needed to be fixed for the ARM builds to complete:
tools/perf/arch/arm/util/cs-etm.c
tools/perf/arch/arm64/util/pmu.c

Synchronize the caller in evsel with the called function.
Shorten 3 lines of code in bperf_read by using
perf_cpu_map__for_each_cpu().
This code is frequently using variables named cpu as cpu map indices,
which doesn't matter as all CPUs are in the CPU map. It is strange in
some cases the cpumap is used at all.
Committer notes:
Found when building with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1:
Remove unused 'num_cpu' variable in bperf__read().
Make 'j' an 'int' as it is used in perf_cpu_map__for_each_cpu() to compare against an 'int'

bpf_create_map is deprecated. Replace it with bpf_map_create. Also add a

To prepare for impending deprecation of libbpf's bpf_program__get_prog_info_linear(),
pull in the function and associated helpers into the perf codebase and migrate
existing uses to the perf copy.
Since libbpf's deprecated definitions will still be visible to perf, it is necessary
to rename perf's definitions.

deprecate before the library reaches v1.0, with calls to
btf__load_from_kernel_by_id() in tools/ (bpftool, perf, selftests).

Move evsel::leader to perf_evsel::leader, so we can move the group
interface to libperf.
Also add several evsel helpers to ease up the transition:
struct evsel *evsel__leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- get leader evsel
bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- true if evsel has leader as leader
bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- true if evsel is itw own leader
void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- set leader for evsel

Recently bperf was added to use BPF to count perf events for various
purposes. This is an extension for the approach and targetting to
cgroup usages.
Unlike the other bperf, it doesn't share the events with other
processes but it'd reduce unnecessary events (and the overhead of
multiplexing) for each monitored cgroup within the perf session.
When --for-each-cgroup is used with --bpf-counters, it will open
cgroup-switches event per cpu internally and attach the new BPF
program to read given perf_events and to aggregate the results for
cgroups. It's only called when task is switched to a task in a
different cgroup.

Some helper functions will be used for cgroup counting too. Move them
to a header file for sharing.
Committer notes:
Fix the build on older systems with:
- struct bpf_map_info map_info = {0};
+ struct bpf_map_info map_info = { .id = 0, };
This wasn't breaking the build in such systems as bpf_counter.c isn't
built due to:
tools/perf/util/Build:
perf-$(CONFIG_PERF_BPF_SKEL) += bpf_counter.o
The bpf_counter.h file on the other hand is included from places that
are built everywhere.

Currently, to use BPF to aggregate perf event counters, the user uses
--bpf-counters option. Enable "use bpf by default" events with a config
option, stat.bpf-counter-events. Events with name in the option will use
BPF.
This also enables mixed BPF event and regular event in the same sesssion.
For example:
perf config stat.bpf-counter-events=instructions
perf stat -e instructions,cs
The second command will use BPF for "instructions" but not "cs".

The perf tool uses performance monitoring counters (PMCs) to monitor
system performance. The PMCs are limited hardware resources. For
example, Intel CPUs have 3x fixed PMCs and 4x programmable PMCs per cpu.
Modern data center systems use these PMCs in many different ways: system
level monitoring, (maybe nested) container level monitoring, per process
monitoring, profiling (in sample mode), etc. In some cases, there are
more active perf_events than available hardware PMCs. To allow all
perf_events to have a chance to run, it is necessary to do expensive
time multiplexing of events.
On the other hand, many monitoring tools count the common metrics
(cycles, instructions). It is a waste to have multiple tools create
multiple perf_events of "cycles" and occupy multiple PMCs.
bperf tries to reduce such wastes by allowing multiple perf_events of
"cycles" or "instructions" (at different scopes) to share PMUs. Instead
of having each perf-stat session to read its own perf_events, bperf uses
BPF programs to read the perf_events and aggregate readings to BPF maps.
Then, the perf-stat session(s) reads the values from these BPF maps.
Please refer to the comment before the definition of bperf_ops for the
description of bperf architecture.
bperf is off by default. To enable it, pass --bpf-counters option to
perf-stat. bperf uses a BPF hashmap to share information about BPF
programs and maps used by bperf. This map is pinned to bpffs. The
default path is /sys/fs/bpf/perf_attr_map. The user could change the
path with option --bpf-attr-map.

Introduce 'perf stat -b' option, which counts events for BPF programs, like:
[root@localhost ~]# ~/perf stat -e ref-cycles,cycles -b 254 -I 1000
1.487903822 115,200 ref-cycles
1.487903822 86,012 cycles
2.489147029 80,560 ref-cycles
2.489147029 73,784 cycles
3.490341825 60,720 ref-cycles
3.490341825 37,797 cycles
4.491540887 37,120 ref-cycles
4.491540887 31,963 cycles
The example above counts 'cycles' and 'ref-cycles' of BPF program of id
254. This is similar to bpftool-prog-profile command, but more
flexible.
'perf stat -b' creates per-cpu perf_event and loads fentry/fexit BPF
programs (monitor-progs) to the target BPF program (target-prog). The
monitor-progs read perf_event before and after the target-prog, and
aggregate the difference in a BPF map. Then the user space reads data
from these maps.
A new 'struct bpf_counter' is introduced to provide a common interface
that uses BPF programs/maps to count perf events.
Committer notes:
Removed all but bpf_counter.h includes from evsel.h, not needed at all.
Also BPF map lookups for PERCPU_ARRAYs need to have as its value receive
buffer passed to the kernel libbpf_num_possible_cpus() entries, not
evsel__nr_cpus(evsel), as the former uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/possible while the later uses
/sys/devices/system/cpu/online, which may be less than the 'possible'
number making the bpf map lookup overwrite memory and cause hard to
debug memory corruption.
We need to continue using evsel__nr_cpus(evsel) when accessing the
perf_counts array tho, not to overwrite another are of memory :-)
