For the problem of increasing fragmentation of the bpf loader programs,
instead of using bpf_loader.o, which is used in samples/bpf, this
commit refactors the existing tracepoint tracing programs with libbbpf
bpf loader.
- Adding a tracepoint event and attaching a bpf program to it was done
through bpf_program_attach().
- Instead of using the existing BPF MAP definition, MAP definition
has been refactored with the new BTF-defined MAP format.

Fix all files in samples/bpf to include libbpf header files with the bpf/
prefix, to be consistent with external users of the library. Also ensure
that all includes of exported libbpf header files (those that are exported
on 'make install' of the library) use bracketed includes instead of quoted.
To make sure no new files are introduced that doesn't include the bpf/
prefix in its include, remove tools/lib/bpf from the include path entirely,
and use tools/lib instead.

CPU is active when have running tasks on it and CPUFreq governor can
select different operating points (OPP) according to different workload;
we use 'pstate' to present CPU state which have running tasks with one
specific OPP. On the other hand, CPU is idle which only idle task on
it, CPUIdle governor can select one specific idle state to power off
hardware logics; we use 'cstate' to present CPU idle state.
Based on trace events 'cpu_idle' and 'cpu_frequency' we can accomplish
the duration statistics for every state. Every time when CPU enters
into or exits from idle states, the trace event 'cpu_idle' is recorded;
trace event 'cpu_frequency' records the event for CPU OPP changing, so
it's easily to know how long time the CPU stays in the specified OPP,
and the CPU must be not in any idle state.
This patch is to utilize the mentioned trace events for pstate and
cstate statistics. To achieve more accurate profiling data, the program
uses below sequence to insure CPU running/idle time aren't missed:
- Before profiling the user space program wakes up all CPUs for once, so
can avoid to missing account time for CPU staying in idle state for
long time; the program forces to set 'scaling_max_freq' to lowest
frequency and then restore 'scaling_max_freq' to highest frequency,
this can ensure the frequency to be set to lowest frequency and later
after start to run workload the frequency can be easily to be changed
to higher frequency;
- User space program reads map data and update statistics for every 5s,
so this is same with other sample bpf programs for avoiding big
overload introduced by bpf program self;
- When send signal to terminate program, the signal handler wakes up
all CPUs, set lowest frequency and restore highest frequency to
'scaling_max_freq'; this is exactly same with the first step so
avoid to missing account CPU pstate and cstate time during last
stage. Finally it reports the latest statistics.
The program has been tested on Hikey board with octa CA53 CPUs, below
is one example for statistics result, the format mainly follows up
Jesper Dangaard Brouer suggestion.
Jesper reminds to 'get printf to pretty print with thousands separators
use %' and setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "en_US")', tried three different arm64
GCC toolchains (5.4.0 20160609, 6.2.1 20161016, 6.3.0 20170516) but all
of them cannot support printf flag character %' on arm64 platform, so go
back print number without grouping mode.
