perf bpf: Add kprobe example to catch 5s naps
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Description:

. Disable strace like syscall tracing (--no-syscalls), or try tracing
  just some (-e *sleep).

. Attach a filter function to a kernel function, returning when it should
  be considered, i.e. appear on the output:

  $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
  #include <bpf.h>

  SEC("func=hrtimer_nanosleep rqtp->tv_sec")
  int func(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
  {
	  return sec == 5;
  }

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

. Run it system wide, so that any sleep of >= 5 seconds and < than 6
  seconds gets caught.

. Ask for callgraphs using DWARF info, so that userspace can be unwound

. While this is running, run something like "sleep 5s".
