Subject: [PATCH/RFC] Make perf_event_open() propagate errors for use in bpf_perf_event_open()

Hi Peter,

bpf_perf_event_open() already returns a value, but if
perf_event_output's output_begin (mostly perf_output_begin) fails,
the only way to know about that is looking before/after the rb->lost,
right?

For ring buffer users that is ok, we'll get a PERF_RECORD_LOST,
etc, but for BPF programs it would be convenient to get that -ENOSPC and
do some fallback, whatever makes sense, like in my augmented_syscalls
stuff for 'perf trace', i.e. don't augment it (i.e. push stuff at the
end of the normal payload), just don't filter the
raw_syscalls:sys_enter, 'perf trace' will get the enter syscall enter
event without the pointer dereference at the end, etc, warn the user but
don't lose a syscall in the strace-like output.

What do you think? Am I missing something? Probably ;-)

Ah, its just test built.

Can I take that as an Acked-by?

This is the patch with a cset comment, if you're ok, I'll put it
together with Song's PERF_RECORD_{KSYMBOL,BPF_EVENT} into my perf/core
branch and send to Ingo,

please advise,

commit 1b3b3dee572d0b77a316ab6715091201be6832de

perf: Make perf_event_output() propagate the output() return

For the original mode of operation it isn't needed, since we report back
errors via PERF_RECORD_LOST records in the ring buffer, but for use in
bpf_perf_event_output() it is convenient to return the errors, basically
-ENOSPC.

Currently bpf_perf_event_output() returns an error indication, the last
thing it does, which is to push it to the ring buffer is that can fail
and if so, this failure won't be reported back to its users, fix it.

perf: Make perf_event_output() propagate the output() return

For the original mode of operation it isn't needed, since we report back
errors via PERF_RECORD_LOST records in the ring buffer, but for use in
bpf_perf_event_output() it is convenient to return the errors, basically
-ENOSPC.

Currently bpf_perf_event_output() returns an error indication, the last
thing it does, which is to push it to the ring buffer is that can fail
and if so, this failure won't be reported back to its users, fix it.
