            Bug ID: 29472
           Summary: Support querying the debuginfod-server for metadata
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debuginfod
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: rgoldber at redhat dot com
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

It would be beneficial to be able to query a debuginfod-server for its metadata
matching certain conditions. This would allow for operations like seeing what
executable files are available without attempting to download them or seeing
which files are larger than a certain size, which could be used to
prefetch+cache large required files, before the user needs them.

The proposed format is as follows:
debuginfod-find [OPTION]... metadata CONDITION QUERYFMT

Query all of the metadata matching the given CONDITION and return it as
described by QUERYFMT

The supported debuginfod-fields are:
    BUILDID, FILENAME, MODIFIED_TIME, SIZE, TYPE, SOURCE_TYPE, SOURCE
and should be referenced using {...}, noting that field names are case
insensitive.

CONDITION is a boolean expression composed of debuginfod-fields, constants
(strings and integers)
and the: `( ) = != < > <= >= && ||` operators, following the standard
conditional precedence order

QUERYFMT is a modified version of the standard printf(3) formatting.
The format is made up of static strings (which may include standard C character
escapes for new‐
lines, tabs, and other special characters (not including \0)) and printf(3)
type formatters. In 
place of the type specifier in the format string, use the debuginfod-field you
wish to query.

For example:

debuginfod-find metadata "{FILENAME}=/usr/bin/grep && {TYPE}=E"
"{FILENAME}({BUILDID})\t{SOURCE_TYPE}\n"
Will query all executables with the name /usr/bin/grep and might return the
following

/usr/bin/grep(90e7d8894b94f47ad17722ff8658f833f329b035)    R
/usr/bin/grep(e81e4e6e322030178260ae4f6055f781cd4997e1)    F

debuginfod-find metadata "{FILENAME}=/bin/bash" "{FILENAME}-{TYPE}\n"
Might return
/bin/bash-E
/bin/bash-S
/bin/bash-D

I think it's very similar to PR 28284.

Submit A Patch for 29472

Here is patch which is simpler than the above proposal. It allows for querying
by source path and will return a JSON array of metadata (where the metadata for
each file is its own JSON object).

The patch was tested using the elfutils try-buildbots on branch
users/rgoldber/try-metadata_query

There is a need for this patch as currently, even with work like PR 28284, a
user is unable to check what files are accessible with debuginfod, they can
only at most try and query by buildid and see if they can get a result. This
feature will be used in systemtap PR 27410

Hi -

On the users/fche/try-pr29472 branch, I pushed a followup to Ryan's
PR29472 draft from a bunch of weeks ago.  It's missing some
ChangeLog's but appears otherwise complete.  It's structured as Ryan's
original patch plus my followup that changes things around, so as to
preserve both contributions in the history.  I paste the overall diff
here.

There will be some minor merge conflicts between this and amerey's
section-extraction extensions that are also aiming for this release.
I'll be glad to deconflict whichever way.

The section extraction extension was just pushed. But the testcase
fails on some systems, which needs investigation.

This is a fairly big patch which introduces even more new
functionality, are you sure you want to target the 0.188 release of
tomorrow?

Are you sure the interface is correct? Is the sqlite "glob" pattern
standardized? Can it be provided if the underlying server database
isn't sqlite?

I haven't read the whole diff yet. There are several refactorings
which would be nice to see a separate patch.

Why does debuginfod-client.c use json-c? Can't the server sent the
json object as a normal char string? Why does the string from the
server need to be interpreted as a json object and then turned into a
string again?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi -

> Are you sure the interface is correct? 

Hard to be sure, so it's left generalized.  The APIs would be
unchanged if future search strategies are added (or subtracted);
they'd affect the choice of acceptable KEY strings.

We know we want glob patterns over executable file names.  I've seen
cases where an exact match query produces a different sqlite query
plan from the glob one, but not sure how much performance difference
that implies.  Searching for source files by glob/match is removed
from today's version because it doesn't run fast enough (without a new
large index).

> Is the sqlite "glob" pattern standardized? 

Yes.

> Can it be provided if the underlying server database isn't sqlite?

Yeah, in that unlikely case we undertake this someday.  glob
expressions can be translated to regular expressions, which are
themselves supported in postgres & mysql.

One such part that occurs to me is the debuginfod_query_server() ->
init_handles() / perform_queries() subdivision.  Are there others?

Use of the library allows robust processing (checking & merging) of
incoming json data from multiple upstream servers.  Luckily, json-c is
a small & self-contained library.

Hi Frank,

The patch as posted (users/fche/try-pr29472) doesn't apply anymore,
have you tried to rebase it to the current git master branch?

OK, so the interfaces added are:

New debuginfod-client interface:

/*  Query the urls contained in $DEBUGINFOD_URLS for metadata
    with given query key/value.

   If successful, return 0, otherwise return a posix error code.
   If successful, set *metadata to a malloc'd json array
   with each entry being a json object of metadata for 1 file.
   Caller must free() it later.  metadata MUST be non-NULL.  */
int debuginfod_find_metadata (debuginfod_client *client,
                              const char *key, const char* value,
                              char** metadata);

Might need an explanation of which characters are allowed in key and
value. In particular is '=' allowed? Any other special chars? What
encoding is used (utf8)?

New server query: metadata?key=KEY&value=VALUE

Same as above, plus maybe explictly descibe the URL encoding?

New debuginfod-find command arguments:

debuginfod-find [OPTION]... metadata KEY VALUE 

Where:

KEY	VALUE	DESCRIPTION

file	path	match exact path, including in archives
glob	pattern	sqlite glob match pattern, including in archives

And as output a json array with objects that might contain the
following:

NAME	TYPE	DESCRIPTION

buildid	string	hexadecimal buildid associated with the file
type	string	one of debuginfo or executable or source
file	string	matched file name, outside or inside the archive

Having the associated buildid with every result object might be a lot,
especially when listing source files, is there a representation where
the buildid is only listed one for a group of results?

Is file here the full path?

Aha, that wasn't really clear from the above description.
Maybe the key name "glob" is a but generic then?
 
> > Is the sqlite "glob" pattern standardized?

Could you add a reference or description?

I believe globs include the ? (single char) and * (zero or many)
wildcards.  Does it include (negative!) [..] ranges?

aha, I see, the metadata query is different from other queries. It
"merges" the replies from all servers instead of picking the first one
that gives an answer.

Does it really merge the results? It looks like it just adds all
elements to the array whether or not they are there.

Should the result also contain the server URL from which the entry
came?

Cheers,

Mark
