Sumanth Korikkar d38c692f16 perf bpf: Fix bpf prologue generation
Issue:

bpf_probe_read() is no longer available for architecture which has
overlapping address space. Hence bpf prologue generation fails

Fix:

Use bpf_probe_read_kernel for kernel member access. For user attribute
access in kprobes, use bpf_probe_read_user.

Other:

@user attribute was introduced in commit 1e032f7cfa ("perf-probe: Add
user memory access attribute support")

Test:

1. ulimit -l 128 ; ./perf record -e tests/bpf_sched_setscheduler.c
2. cat tests/bpf_sched_setscheduler.c

static void (*bpf_trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) =
        (void *) 6;
static int (*bpf_probe_read_user)(void *dst, __u32 size,
                                  const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 112;
static int (*bpf_probe_read_kernel)(void *dst, __u32 size,
        const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 113;

SEC("func=do_sched_setscheduler  pid policy param->sched_priority@user")
int bpf_func__setscheduler(void *ctx, int err, pid_t pid, int policy,
                           int param)
{
        char fmt[] = "prio: %ld";
        bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), param);
        return 1;
}

char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;

3. ./perf script
   sched 305669 [000] 1614458.838675: perf_bpf_probe:func: (2904e508)
   pid=261614 policy=2 sched_priority=1

4. cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
   <...>-309956 [006] .... 1616098.093957: 0: prio: 1

Committer testing:

I had to add some missing headers in the bpf_sched_setscheduler.c test
proggie, then instead of using record+script I used 'perf trace' to
drive everything in one go:

  # cat bpf_sched_setscheduler.c
  #include <linux/types.h>
  #include <bpf.h>

  static void (*bpf_trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) = (void *) 6;
  static int (*bpf_probe_read_user)(void *dst, __u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 112;
  static int (*bpf_probe_read_kernel)(void *dst, __u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 113;

  SEC("func=do_sched_setscheduler  pid policy param->sched_priority@user")
  int bpf_func__setscheduler(void *ctx, int err, pid_t pid, int policy, int param)
  {
          char fmt[] = "prio: %ld";
          bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), param);
          return 1;
  }

  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  #
  #
  # perf trace -e bpf_sched_setscheduler.c chrt -f 42 sleep 1
     0.000 chrt/80125 perf_bpf_probe:func(__probe_ip: -1676607808, policy: 1, sched_priority: 42)
  #

And even with backtraces :-)

  # perf trace -e bpf_sched_setscheduler.c/max-stack=8/ chrt -f 42 sleep 1
       0.000 chrt/79805 perf_bpf_probe:func(__probe_ip: -1676607808, policy: 1, sched_priority: 42)
                                         do_sched_setscheduler ([kernel.kallsyms])

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
