commit 5b245985a6de5ac18b5088c37068816d413fb8ed upstream.

Switch to new EVP API for detecting libcrypto, as Fedora 36 returns an
error when it encounters the deprecated function MD5_Init() and the others.

The error would be interpreted as missing libcrypto, while in reality it is
not.

Fixes: 6e8ccb4f624a73c5 ("tools/bpf: properly account for libbfd variations")

commit 541f695cbcb6932c22638b06e0cbe1d56177e2e9 upstream.

Just like its done for ldopts and for both in tools/perf/Makefile.config.

Using `` to initialize PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS somehow precludes using:

  $(filter-out SOMETHING_TO_FILTER,$(PERL_EMBED_CCOPTS))

And we need to do it to allow for building with versions of clang where
some gcc options selected by distros are not available.

These make the feature check fail when using clang, so remove them just
like is done in tools/perf/Makefile.config to build perf itself.

Adding -Wno-compound-token-split-by-macro to tools/perf/Makefile.config
when building with clang is also necessary to avoid these warnings
turned into errors (-Werror):

&lt;quote&gt;
acme&gt; And then get to the problems at the end of this message, which seem
acme&gt; similar to the problem described here:
acme&gt;
acme&gt; From  Nathan Chancellor &lt;&gt;
acme&gt; Subject	[PATCH] mwifiex: Remove unnecessary braces from HostCmd_SET_SEQ_NO_BSS_INFO
acme&gt;
acme&gt; https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/1/135
acme&gt;
acme&gt; So perhaps in this case its better to disable that
acme&gt; -Werror,-Wcompound-token-split-by-macro when building with clang?

Yes, I think that is probably the best solution. As far as I can tell,
at least in this file and context, the warning appears harmless, as the
"create a GNU C statement expression from two different macros" is very
much intentional, based on the presence of PERL_USE_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS.
The warning is fixed in upstream Perl by just avoiding creating GNU C
statement expressions using STMT_START and STMT_END:

  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18780
  https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18984

If I am reading the source code correctly, an alternative to disabling
the warning would be specifying -DPERL_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS_FORBIDDEN but it
seems like that might end up impacting more than just this site,
according to the issue discussion above.

<title>tools build: Remove needless libpython-version feature check that breaks test-all fast path</title>

<id>e9ca63a07dd35d56cf0df57228c54970fb5e0c89</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3d1d57debee2d342a47615707588b96658fabb85 upstream.

Since 66dfdff03d196e51 ("perf tools: Add Python 3 support") we don't use
the tools/build/feature/test-libpython-version.c version in any Makefile
feature check:

  $ find tools/ -type f | xargs grep feature-libpython-version
  $

The only place where this was used was removed in 66dfdff03d196e51:

  -        ifneq ($(feature-libpython-version), 1)
  -          $(warning Python 3 is not yet supported; please set)
  -          $(warning PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG appropriately.)
  -          $(warning If you also have Python 2 installed, then)
  -          $(warning try something like:)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning $(and ,)  make PYTHON=python2)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning Otherwise, disable Python support entirely:)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning $(and ,)  make NO_LIBPYTHON=1)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(error   $(and ,))
  -        else
  -          LDFLAGS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LDFLAGS)
  -          EXTLIBS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LIBADD)
  -          LANG_BINDINGS += $(obj-perf)python/perf.so
  -          $(call detected,CONFIG_LIBPYTHON)
  -        endif

And nowadays we either build with PYTHON=python3 or just install the
python3 devel packages and perf will build against it.

But the leftover feature-libpython-version check made the fast path
feature detection to break in all cases except when python2 devel files
were installed:

  $ rpm -qa | grep python.*devel
  python3-devel-3.9.7-1.fc34.x86_64

As python3 is the norm these days, fix this by just removing the unused
feature-libpython-version feature check, making the test-all fast path
to work with the common case.

With this:

commit 3d1d57debee2d342a47615707588b96658fabb85 upstream.

Since 66dfdff03d196e51 ("perf tools: Add Python 3 support") we don't use
the tools/build/feature/test-libpython-version.c version in any Makefile
feature check:

  $ find tools/ -type f | xargs grep feature-libpython-version
  $

The only place where this was used was removed in 66dfdff03d196e51:

  -        ifneq ($(feature-libpython-version), 1)
  -          $(warning Python 3 is not yet supported; please set)
  -          $(warning PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG appropriately.)
  -          $(warning If you also have Python 2 installed, then)
  -          $(warning try something like:)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning $(and ,)  make PYTHON=python2)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning Otherwise, disable Python support entirely:)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(warning $(and ,)  make NO_LIBPYTHON=1)
  -          $(warning $(and ,))
  -          $(error   $(and ,))
  -        else
  -          LDFLAGS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LDFLAGS)
  -          EXTLIBS += $(PYTHON_EMBED_LIBADD)
  -          LANG_BINDINGS += $(obj-perf)python/perf.so
  -          $(call detected,CONFIG_LIBPYTHON)
  -        endif

And nowadays we either build with PYTHON=python3 or just install the
python3 devel packages and perf will build against it.

But the leftover feature-libpython-version check made the fast path
feature detection to break in all cases except when python2 devel files
were installed:

  $ rpm -qa | grep python.*devel
  python3-devel-3.9.7-1.fc34.x86_64
  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ;
  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
    HOSTCC  /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
  &lt;SNIP&gt;
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  In file included from test-all.c:18:
  test-libpython-version.c:5:10: error: #error
      5 |         #error
        |          ^~~~~
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
	libpython3.9.so.1.0 =&gt; /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007fda6dbcf000)

<title>tools build feature: Use CC and CXX from parent</title>

[ 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.

<content type='text'>
We were renanimg 'main' to 'main_zstd' but then using 'main_libzstd();'
in the main() for test-all.c, causing this:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  test-all.c: In function ‘main’:
  test-all.c:236:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘main_test_libzstd’; did you mean ‘main_test_zstd’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    main_test_libzstd();
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    main_test_zstd
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  $

I.e. what was supposed to be the fast path feature test was _always_

We were renanimg 'main' to 'main_zstd' but then using 'main_libzstd();'
in the main() for test-all.c, causing this:

  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  test-all.c: In function ‘main’:
  test-all.c:236:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘main_test_libzstd’; did you mean ‘main_test_zstd’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    main_test_libzstd();
    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    main_test_zstd
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  $

I.e. what was supposed to be the fast path feature test was _always_
failing, duh, fix it.

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

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.

Hardcoding /usr/include/slang is fundamentally incompatible with cross
compilation and will lead to the inability for a cross-compiled
environment to properly detect whether slang is available or not.

If /usr/include/slang is necessary that is a distribution specific
knowledge that could be solved with either a standard pkg-config .pc
file (which slang has) or simply overriding CFLAGS accordingly, but the
default perf Makefile should be clean of all of that.
