[PATCH bpf-next 1/5] perf/core: Add PERF_FORMAT_LOST read_format

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's useful to know kprobe's nmissed count. For example with tracing
tools, it's important to know when events may have been lost.  debugfs
currently exposes a control file to get this information, but it is not
compatible with probes registered with the perf API.

While bpf programs may be able to manually count nhit, there is no way
to gather nmissed. In other words, it is currently not possible to this
retrieve information about FD-based probes.

This patch adds a new field to perf's read_format that lets users query
misses. Misses include both misses from the underlying kprobe
infrastructure and misses from ringbuffer infrastructure.
