tools lib lk: Uninclude linux/magic.h in debugfs.c

2013-10-05T14:13:10+00:00

commit ce7eebe5c3deef8e19c177c24ee75843256e69ca upstream.

The compilation only looks for linux/magic.h from the default include
paths, which does not include the source tree. This results in a build
error if linux/magic.h is not available or not installed.

For example, this build error occurs on CentOS 5.

$ make -C tools/lib/lk V=1
[...]
gcc -o debugfs.o -c -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -std=gnu99 -Werror -O6
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wdeclaration-after-statement

-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 debugfs.c
debugfs.c:8:25: error: linux/magic.h: No such file or directory

The only symbol from linux/magic.h needed by debugfs.c is DEBUGFS_MAGIC,
and that is already defined in debugfs.h. linux/magic.h isn't providing
any extra symbols and can unincluded. This is similar to the approach by
perf, which has its own magic.h wrapper at
tools/perf/util/include/linux/magic.h

perf tools: Extract perf-specific stuff from debugfs.c

2013-03-15T16:06:01+00:00

Move them to util.c and simplify code a bit.

perf tools: Introduce tools/lib/lk library

2013-03-15T16:06:00+00:00

This introduces the tools/lib/lk library, that will gradually have the
routines that now are used in tools/perf/ and other tools and that can
be shared.

Start by carving out debugfs routines for general use.

[ committer note: Add tools/lib/lk/ to perf's MANIFEST so that its tarballs continue to build ]
