perf, bpf: Introduce PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL
For better performance analysis of dynamically JITed and loaded kernel functions, such as BPF programs, this patch introduces PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL, a new perf_event_type that exposes kernel symbol register/unregister information to user space. The following data structure is used for PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL. /* * struct { * struct perf_event_header header; * u64 addr; * u32 len; * u16 ksym_type; * u16 flags; * char name[]; * struct sample_id sample_id; * }; */ Signed-off-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: kernel-team@fb.com Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190117161521.1341602-2-songliubraving@fb.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
