From 8b401f9ed2441ad9e219953927a842d24ed051fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yonghong Song Date: Thu, 23 May 2019 14:47:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpf: implement bpf_send_signal() helper This patch tries to solve the following specific use case. Currently, bpf program can already collect stack traces through kernel function get_perf_callchain() when certain events happens (e.g., cache miss counter or cpu clock counter overflows). But such stack traces are not enough for jitted programs, e.g., hhvm (jited php). To get real stack trace, jit engine internal data structures need to be traversed in order to get the real user functions. bpf program itself may not be the best place to traverse the jit engine as the traversing logic could be complex and it is not a stable interface either. Instead, hhvm implements a signal handler, e.g. for SIGALARM, and a set of program locations which it can dump stack traces. When it receives a signal, it will dump the stack in next such program location. Such a mechanism can be implemented in the following way: . a perf ring buffer is created between bpf program and tracing app. . once a particular event happens, bpf program writes to the ring buffer and the tracing app gets notified. . the tracing app sends a signal SIGALARM to the hhvm. But this method could have large delays and causing profiling results skewed. This patch implements bpf_send_signal() helper to send a signal to hhvm in real time, resulting in intended stack traces.
