tools build: Align warning options with perf

2025-10-29T12:59:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 53d067feb8c4f16d1f24ce3f4df4450bb18c555f ]

The feature test programs are built without enabling '-Wall -Werror'
options. As a result, a feature may appear to be available, but later
building in perf can fail with stricter checks.

Make the feature test program use the same warning options as perf.

tools build: Switch to new openssl API for test-libcrypto

2022-08-25T09:18:25+00:00

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.

tools build: Use $(shell ) instead of `` to get embedded libperl's ccopts

2022-04-15T12:18:40+00:00

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.

tools build: Filter out options and warnings not supported by clang

commit 41caff459a5b956b3e23ba9ca759dd0629ad3dda upstream.

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):

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.

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

2021-12-14T13:49:03+00:00

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
  
  $ 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 => /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007fda6dbcf000)
  $

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:

  $ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf ;
  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin |& head
  make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
    HOSTCC  /tmp/build/perf/fixdep.o
    HOSTLD  /tmp/build/perf/fixdep-in.o
    LINK    /tmp/build/perf/fixdep

  ...            dwarf_getlocations: [ on  ]
  ...                         glibc: [ on  ]
  $ ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python
	libpython3.9.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.9.so.1.0 (0x00007f58800b0000)
  $ cat /tmp/build/perf/feature/test-all.make.output
  $

tools build feature: Quote CC and CXX for their arguments

2020-08-21T11:05:38+00:00

[ 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:

tools build feature: Use CC and CXX from parent

2020-08-21T11:05:34+00:00

[ 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.
