Hi Arnaldo,

   I know you don't have enough time to review my code. I send
this patchset to let you and other know what we are working on.

   In this new patchset, we create a new perf cmdline syntax so
perf users are able to pass perf events created by perf to BPF
maps, which makes bpf_perf_event_read() usable. Compare with out
previous solution[1] which embedded 'struct perf_event_attr' to
"maps" section, this solution is easier to use.

   If you or anyone have any different views on this solution,
please let us know so we can stop our further development base
on it as soon as possible.

Thank you.

  perf tools: Enable BPF object configure syntax (2015-10-14 10:09:17 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
EBPF support for perf

 - Rebase to newest perf/core

 - Bugfix: kprobe events not remove if bpf__probe() failure occur
   after it creates some kprobe points successfully.

 - Bugfix: when multiple BPF functions reside in one BPF object,
   the last BPF program would be attached to all kprobe events.
   This bug is introduced by removal of dummy event placeholder.

 - New function: support BPF program reading counter through
   bpf_perf_event_read() by adding new syntax and support code
   in event selector. The new BPF object configuration mechanism
   can be extended to support BPF data output.

   In this patchset, following BPF function can be used to measure
   cycles a kernel function cost:

   ===== BPF program bpf_program.c =====

   struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") pmu_map = {
       .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY,
       .key_size = sizeof(int),
       .value_size = sizeof(u32),
       .max_entries = __NR_CPUS__,
   };

   SEC("func_write=sys_write")
   int func_write(void *ctx)
   {
       unsigned long long val;
       char fmt[] = "sys_write:        pmu=%llu\n";
       val = bpf_perf_event_read(&pmu_map, bpf_get_smp_processor_id());
       bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), val);
       return 0;
   }

   SEC("func_write_return=sys_write%return")
   int func_write_return(void *ctx)
   {
       unsigned long long val = 0;
       char fmt[] = "sys_write_return: pmu=%llu\n";
       val = bpf_perf_event_read(&pmu_map, bpf_get_smp_processor_id());
       bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), val);
       return 0;
   }

   With cmdline like this:

   ===== cmdline =====
   # echo "" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
   # perf record -e evt=cycles/period=0x7fffffffffffffff/ \
                 -e bpf_program.c/maps.pmu_map.event=evt/
                 -a ls
   # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | grep ls
                ls-3363  [003] d... 75475.056190: : sys_write:        pmu=3961415
                ls-3363  [003] dN.. 75475.056212: : sys_write_return: pmu=4051390
                ls-3363  [003] d... 75475.056216: : sys_write:        pmu=4065447
                ls-3363  [003] dN.. 75475.056227: : sys_write_return: pmu=4109760
                ls-3363  [003] d... 75475.056230: : sys_write:        pmu=4120776
                ls-3363  [003] dN.. 75475.056245: : sys_write_return: pmu=4178441
                ...
   # perf report --stdio
   Error:
   The perf.data file has no samples!

Thanks for working on this.  I've only reviewed the first part and
will continue to review it tomorrow (or later). :)
