tools/bpftool: add perf subcommand
The new command "bpftool perf [show | list]" will traverse all processes under /proc, and if any fd is associated with a perf event, it will print out related perf event information. Documentation is also added. Below is an example to show the results using bcc commands. Running the following 4 bcc commands: kprobe: trace.py '__x64_sys_nanosleep' kretprobe: trace.py 'r::__x64_sys_nanosleep' tracepoint: trace.py 't:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep' uprobe: trace.py 'p:/home/yhs/a.out:main' The bpftool command line and result: $ bpftool perf pid 21711 fd 5: prog_id 5 kprobe func __x64_sys_write offset 0 pid 21765 fd 5: prog_id 7 kretprobe func __x64_sys_nanosleep offset 0 pid 21767 fd 5: prog_id 8 tracepoint sys_enter_nanosleep pid 21800 fd 5: prog_id 9 uprobe filename /home/yhs/a.out offset 1159 $ bpftool -j perf [{"pid":21711,"fd":5,"prog_id":5,"fd_type":"kprobe","func":"__x64_sys_write","offset":0}, \ {"pid":21765,"fd":5,"prog_id":7,"fd_type":"kretprobe","func":"__x64_sys_nanosleep","offset":0}, \ {"pid":21767,"fd":5,"prog_id":8,"fd_type":"tracepoint","tracepoint":"sys_enter_nanosleep"}, \ {"pid":21800,"fd":5,"prog_id":9,"fd_type":"uprobe","filename":"/home/yhs/a.out","offset":1159}] $ bpftool prog 5: kprobe name probe___x64_sys tag e495a0c82f2c7a8d gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:46:37-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 4 7: kprobe name probe___x64_sys tag f2fdee479a503abf gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:48:32-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 7 8: tracepoint name tracepoint__sys tag 5390badef2395fcf gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:48:48-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 8 9: kprobe name probe_main_1 tag 0a87bdc2e2953b6d gpl loaded_at 2018-05-15T04:49:52-0700 uid 0 xlated 200B not jited memlock 4096B map_ids 9 $ ps ax | grep "python ./trace.py" 21711 pts/0 T 0:03 python ./trace.py __x64_sys_write 21765 pts/0 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py r::__x64_sys_nanosleep 21767 pts/2 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py t:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep 21800 pts/3 S+ 0:00 python ./trace.py p:/home/yhs/a.out:main 22374 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto python ./trace.py Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>

+
+ **bpftool** [*OPTIONS*] **perf** *COMMAND*

+PERF COMMANDS
+=============
+
+| **bpftool** **perf { show | list }**
+| **bpftool** **perf help**
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+ **bpftool perf { show | list }**
+ List all raw_tracepoint, tracepoint, kprobe attachment in the system.
+
+ Output will start with process id and file descriptor in that process,
+ followed by bpf program id, attachment information, and attachment point.
+ The attachment point for raw_tracepoint/tracepoint is the trace probe name.
+ The attachment point for k[ret]probe is either symbol name and offset,
+ or a kernel virtual address.
+ The attachment point for u[ret]probe is the file name and the file offset.
+
+ **bpftool perf help**
+ Print short help message.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+ -h, --help
+ Print short generic help message (similar to **bpftool help**).
+
+ -v, --version
+ Print version number (similar to **bpftool version**).
+
+ -j, --json
+ Generate JSON output. For commands that cannot produce JSON, this
+ option has no effect.
+
+ -p, --pretty
+ Generate human-readable JSON output. Implies **-j**.
+
+EXAMPLES
+========
+
+| **# bpftool perf**
+
+::
+
+ pid 21711 fd 5: prog_id 5 kprobe func __x64_sys_write offset 0
+ pid 21765 fd 5: prog_id 7 kretprobe func __x64_sys_nanosleep offset 0
+ pid 21767 fd 5: prog_id 8 tracepoint sys_enter_nanosleep
+ pid 21800 fd 5: prog_id 9 uprobe filename /home/yhs/a.out offset 1159
+
+|
+| **# bpftool -j perf**
+
+::
+
+ [{"pid":21711,"fd":5,"prog_id":5,"fd_type":"kprobe","func":"__x64_sys_write","offset":0}, \
