perf stat: Separate bperf from bpf_profiler
It seems that perf stat -b <prog id> doesn't produce any results: $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv Control descriptor is not initialized cycles: 0 0 0 time counts unit events 10.007641640 <not supported> cycles Looks like this happens because fentry/fexit progs are getting loaded, but the corresponding perf event is not enabled and not added into the events bpf map. I think there is some mixing up between two type of bpf support, one for bperf and one for bpf_profiler. Both are identified via evsel__is_bpf, based on which perf events are enabled, but for the latter (bpf_profiler) a perf event is required. Using evsel__is_bperf to check only bperf produces expected results: $ perf stat -e cycles -b 4 -I 10000 -vvv Control descriptor is not initialized ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 136 sample_type IDENTIFIER read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING disabled 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ [...perf_event_attr for other CPUs...] ------------------------------------------------------------ cycles: 309426 169009 169009 time counts unit events 10.010091271 309426 cycles The final numbers correspond (at least in the level of magnitude) to the same metric obtained via bpftool.
