perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling
This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9

0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)
