bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command
With fentry/fexit programs, it is possible to profile BPF program with hardware counters. Introduce bpftool "prog profile", which measures key metrics of a BPF program. bpftool prog profile command creates per-cpu perf events. Then it attaches fentry/fexit programs to the target BPF program. The fentry program saves perf event value to a map. The fexit program reads the perf event again, and calculates the difference, which is the instructions/cycles used by the target program. Example input and output: ./bpftool prog profile id 337 duration 3 cycles instructions llc_misses 4228 run_cnt 3403698 cycles (84.08%) 3525294 instructions # 1.04 insn per cycle (84.05%) 13 llc_misses # 3.69 LLC misses per million isns (83.50%) This command measures cycles and instructions for BPF program with id 337 for 3 seconds. The program has triggered 4228 times. The rest of the outp...
