tools lib subcmd: Don't add the kernel sources to the include path

2019-01-26T08:38:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit ece9804985b57e1ccd83b1fb6288520955a29d51 ]

At some point we decided not to directly include kernel sources files
when building tools/perf/, but when tools/lib/subcmd/ was forked from
tools/perf it somehow ended up adding it via these two lines in its
Makefile:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include/uapi
  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/include

As $(srctree) points to the kernel sources.

Removing those lines and keeping just:

  CFLAGS += -I$(srctree)/tools/include/

Is enough to build tools/perf and tools/objtool.

This fixes the build when building from the sources in environments such
as the Android NDK crossbuilding from a fedora:26 system:

  subcmd-util.h:11:15: error: expected ',' or ';' before 'void'
   static inline void report(const char *prefix, const char *err, va_list params)
                 ^
  In file included from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:2:0,
                   from /git/perf/include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:5,
                   from /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h:36,
                   from /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/unistd.h:33,
                   from run-command.c:2:
  subcmd-util.h:18:17: error: '__no_instrument_function__' attribute applies only to functions

The /opt/android-ndk-r12b/platforms/android-24/arch-arm/usr/include/sys/types.h
file that includes linux/posix_types.h ends up getting the one in the kernel
sources causing the breakage. Fix it.

Test built tools/objtool/ too.

tools lib subcmd: Respect WERROR=0 for build

this enables the workaround for compilers that generate warnings when
compiling libsubcmd.

As it is used by several other tools, better move it outside tools/perf.

objtool: Support CROSS_COMPILE

2016-03-03T15:13:00+00:00

When building with CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION on a ppc64le host with an x86
cross-compiler, Stephen Rothwell saw the following objtool build errors:

    DESCEND  objtool
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/builtin-check.o
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/special.o

    MKDIR    /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/arch/x86/insn/
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/libstring.o
  elf.c:22:23: fatal error: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/exec-cmd.o
    CC       /home/sfr/next/x86_64_allmodconfig/tools/objtool/help.o
  builtin-check.c:28:20: fatal error: string.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.
  objtool.c:28:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.

It fails to build because it tries to compile objtool with the
cross-compiler instead of the host compiler.

Ensure that it always uses the host compiler by ignoring CROSS_COMPILE.

In order to do that properly, the libsubcmd.a library needs to be built
in tools/objtool/ rather than tools/lib/subcmd/.  The latter directory
contains the cross-compiled version which is needed for perf and
possibly other tools.

Note that cross-compiling for x86 on a _big_ endian system would result
in a bunch of false positive objtool warnings during the kernel build
because it isn't endian-aware.  But that's generally a rare edge case
and there haven't been any reports of anybody needing that.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14+00:00

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named
libsubcmd.a.

Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to
'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.
