[ Upstream commit fa5c893181ed2ca2f96552f50073786d2cfce6c0 ]

When using a cross-compilation environment, such as OpenEmbedded,
the CC an CXX variables are set to something more than just a
command: there are arguments (such as --sysroot) that need to be
passed on to the compiler so that the right set of headers and
libraries are used.

For the particular case that our systems detected, CC is set to
the following:

  export CC="aarch64-linaro-linux-gcc  --sysroot=/oe/build/tmp/work/machine/perf/1.0-r9/recipe-sysroot"

Without quotes, detection is as follows:

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                         dwarf: [ OFF ]
  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ OFF ]
  ...                         glibc: [ OFF ]

[ Upstream commit e3232c2f39acafd5a29128425bc30b9884642cfa ]

commit c8c188679ccf ("tools build: Use the same CC for feature detection
and actual build") changed these assignments from unconditional (:=) to
conditional (?=) so that they wouldn't clobber values from the
environment. However, conditional assignment does not work properly for
variables that Make implicitly sets, among which are CC and CXX. To
quote tools/scripts/Makefile.include, which handles this properly:

  # Makefiles suck: This macro sets a default value of $(2) for the
  # variable named by $(1), unless the variable has been set by
  # environment or command line. This is necessary for CC and AR
  # because make sets default values, so the simpler ?= approach
  # won't work as expected.

In other words, the conditional assignments will not run even if the
variables are not overridden in the environment; Make will set CC to
"cc" and CXX to "g++" when it starts[1], meaning the variables are not
empty by the time the conditional assignments are evaluated. This breaks
cross-compilation when CROSS_COMPILE is set but CC isn't, since "cc"
gets used for feature detection instead of the cross compiler (and
likewise for CXX).

To fix the issue, just pass down the values of CC and CXX computed by
the parent Makefile, which gets included by the Makefile that actually
builds whatever we're detecting features for and so is guaranteed to
have good values. This is a better solution anyway, since it means we
aren't trying to replicate the logic of the parent build system and so
don't risk it getting out of sync.

Leave PKG_CONFIG alone, since 1) there's no common logic to compute it
in Makefile.include, and 2) it's not an implicit variable, so
conditional assignment works properly.

<title>perf tools: Add file-handle feature test</title>
<updated>2020-04-03T12:37:55+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=49f550ea87c73671ee4d5e08820e0976894dd610'/>
<id>49f550ea87c73671ee4d5e08820e0976894dd610</id>
<content type='text'>
The file handle (FHANDLE) support is configurable so some systems might not
have it.  So add a config feature item to check it on build time so that we
don't add the cgroup tracking feature based on that.

Committer notes:

Had to make the test use the same construct as its later use in
synthetic-events.c, in the next patch in this series. i.e. make it be:

	struct {
		struct file_handle fh;
		uint64_t cgroup_id;
	} handle;

To cope with:

    CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/cloexec.o
  util/synthetic-events.c:428:22: error: field 'fh' with   CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/call-path.o
  variable sized type 'struct file_handle' not at the end of a struct or class is a GNU
        extension [-Werror,-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end]
                  struct file_handle fh;
                                     ^
  1 error generated.

Deal with this at some point, i.e. investigate if the right thing is to
remove that -Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end from our CFLAGS, for
now do the test the same way as it is used looks more sensible.

<title>perf tools: Allow to link with libbpf dynamicaly</title>

<id>7b65e2034fde011d090d4ec472902b71129c6cbd</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libbpf
(tools/lib/bpf). This patch adds libbpf package detection and support to
link perf with it dynamically.

The libbpf package status is displayed with:

  $ make VF=1
  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...
  ...                        libbpf: [ on  ]

It's not checked by default, because it's quite new.  Once it's on most
distros we can switch it on.

For the same reason it's not added to the test-all check.

Perf does not need advanced version of libbpf, so we can check just for
the base bpf_object__open function.

Adding new compile variable to detect libbpf package and link bpf
dynamically:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
    ...
    LINK     perf
  $ ldd perf | grep bpf
    libbpf.so.0 =&gt; /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007f46818bc000)

If libbpf is not installed, build stops with:

  Makefile.config:486: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found,\
  please install libbpf-devel.  Stop.

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  Makefile.config:493: *** Error: No libbpf devel library found, please install libbpf-devel.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [Makefile.perf:225: sub-make] Error 2

perf link with libcap, if it is available. If no libcap-dev[el], assume
no capabilities.

<title>tools build: Add test to check if slang.h is in /usr/include/slang/</title>

<content type='text'>
A few odd old distros (rhel5, 6, yeah, lots of those out in use, in many
cases we want to use upstream perf on it) have the slang header files in
/usr/include/slang/, so add a test that will be performed only when
test-all.c (the one with the most common sane settings) fails, either
because we're in one of these odd distros with slang/slang.h or because
something else failed (say libelf is not present).

So for the common case nothing changes, no additional test is performed.

Next step is to check in perf the result of these tests.

<title>tools build: Check if gettid() is available before providing helper</title>

Laura reported that the perf build failed in fedora when we got a glibc
that provides gettid(), which I reproduced using fedora rawhide with the
glibc-devel-2.29.9000-26.fc31.x86_64 package.

Add a feature check to avoid providing a gettid() helper in such
systems.

On a fedora rawhide system with this patch applied we now get:

  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]# grep gettid /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-gettid=1
  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]# cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-gettid.make.output

  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]#

While on a fedora:29 system:

<title>tools build: Implement libzstd feature check, LIBZSTD_DIR and NO_LIBZSTD defines</title>

<id>3b1c5d9659718263c7f9c93af82f98221c58f171</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement libzstd feature check, NO_LIBZSTD and LIBZSTD_DIR defines to
override Zstd library sources or disable the feature from the command
line:

  $ make -C tools/perf LIBZSTD_DIR=/path/to/zstd/sources/ clean all
  $ make -C tools/perf NO_LIBZSTD=1 clean all

Auto detection feature status is reported just before compilation
starts.  If your system has some version of the zstd library
preinstalled then the build system finds and uses it during the build.

If you still prefer to compile with some other version of zstd library
you have capability to refer the compilation to that version using
LIBZSTD_DIR define.

preinstalled then the build system finds and uses it during the build.

If you still prefer to compile with some other version of zstd library
you have capability to refer the compilation to that version using
LIBZSTD_DIR define.

Commit 003ca0fd2286 ("Refactor disassembler selection") in the binutils
repo, which changed the disassembler() function signature, so we must
use the feature test introduced in fb982666e380 ("tools/bpftool: fix
bpftool build with bintutils &gt;= 2.9") to deal with that.

Committer testing:

After adding the missing function call to test-all.c, and:

  FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-four-args = -bfd -lopcodes

And the fallbacks for cases where we need -liberty and sometimes -lz to
tools/perf/Makefile.config, we get:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build

  Auto-detecting system features:

The feature detection test-all.bin gets successfully built and linked:

  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin
  -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 2680352 Mar 19 11:07 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin
  $ nm /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.bin  | grep -w disassembler
  0000000000061f90 T disassembler
  $

Time to move on to the patches that make use of this disassembler()
routine in binutils's libopcodes.
