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.

commit 25ab5abf5b141d7fd13eed506c7458aa04749c29 upstream.

As 'perf bench futex wake-parallel" will use this, which is not
available in older systems such as versions of the android NDK used in
my container build tests (r12b and r15c at the moment).

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

commit 4541a8bb13a86e504416a13360c8dc64d2fd612a upstream.

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

                   U gettid@@GLIBC_2.30
  [root@7a5f55352234 perf]#

While on a fedora:29 system:

  [acme@quaco perf]$ grep gettid /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-gettid=0
  [acme@quaco perf]$ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-gettid.make.output

           ^~~~~~

commit 11c6cbe706f218a8dc7e1f962f12b3a52ddd33a9 upstream.

A new 'perf bench epoll' will use this, and to disable it for older
systems, add a feature test for this API.

This is just a simple program that if successfully compiled, means that
the feature is present, at least at the library level, in a build that
sets the output directory to /tmp/build/perf (using O=/tmp/build/perf),
we end up with:

  $ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd*
  -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 8176 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin
  -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme  588 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.d
  -rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme    0 Nov 21 15:58 /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.make.output
  $ ldd /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-eventfd.bin
	  linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff3bf3f000)
	  libc.so.6 =&gt; /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa984061000)
	  /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa984417000)
  $ grep eventfd -A 2 -B 2 /tmp/build/perf/FEATURE-DUMP
  feature-dwarf=1
  feature-dwarf_getlocations=1
  feature-eventfd=1
  feature-fortify-source=1
  feature-sync-compare-and-swap=1
  $

The main thing here is that in the end we'll have -DHAVE_EVENTFD in
CFLAGS, and then the 'perf bench' entry needing that API can be
selectively pruned.

commit 8feb8efef97a134933620071e0b6384cb3238b4e upstream.

As the namespace support code will use this, which is not available in
some non _GNU_SOURCE libraries such as Android's bionic used in my
container build tests (r12b and r15c at the moment).

[ 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 ]

With CC and CXX quoted, some of those features are now detected.

[ 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>tools, build: Propagate build failures from tools/build/Makefile.build</title>

[ Upstream commit a278f3d8191228212c553a5d4303fa603214b717 ]

The '&amp;&amp;' command seems to have a bad effect when $(cmd_$(1)) exits with
non-zero effect: the command failure is masked (despite `set -e`) and all but
the first command of $(dep-cmd) is executed (successfully, as they are mostly
printfs), thus overall returning 0 in the end.

This means in practice that despite compilation errors, tools's build Makefile
will return success. We see this very reliably with libbpf's Makefile, which
doesn't get compilation error propagated properly. This in turns causes issues
with selftests build, as well as bpftool and other projects that rely on
building libbpf.

The fix is simple: don't use &amp;&amp;. Given `set -e`, we don't need to chain
commands with &amp;&amp;. The shell will exit on first failure, giving desired
behavior and propagating error properly.
