Why BPF?
Why BPF? - Flexibility
Why BPF? - Flexibility - Low overhead
Why BPF? - Flexibility - Low overhead - Continuous profiling
Why BPF? - Flexibility - Low overhead - Continuous profiling
- No modifications of the tracee
rbperf
rbperf - Profile Ruby programs
rbperf - Profile Ruby programs - Trace complex Ruby programs
execution
rbperf – on-CPU profiling - $ rbperf record --pid=124 cpu
- $ rbperf report [...]
rbperf – Rails on-CPU profile
rbperf – tracing write(2) calls - $ rbperf record \
--pid=124 event \ --tracepoint=syscalls:sys_enter_write - $ rbperf report [...]
Architecture 2. Event (timer, syscall, etc) BPF code (bpf/rbperf.c) Read
frame Driver (rbperf.py) 1. Adds info (pid to profile, thread address) 3. Receives stacktrace 4. Serialisation and persistence BPF tail-calls Bounded loop

- Supporting multiple Ruby versions - Correctness testing - BPF safety features
Future plans - Integrate in Facebook’s profiling infra - Rewrite
OSS driver program - Make the OSS version awesome - Better documentation (including how to measure overhead) - Add more output formats - Open source GDB / drgn helper - Other tools? - Containers support? - Support request-oriented workloads?
