perf build: Don't unconditionally link the libbfd feature test to -liberty and -lz

2018-12-21T12:42:46+00:00

Current libbfd feature test unconditionally links against -liberty and -lz.
While it's required on some systems (e.g. opensuse), it's completely
unnecessary on the others, where only -lbdf is sufficient (debian).
This patch streamlines (and renames) the following feature checks:

feature-libbfd           - only link against -lbfd (debian),
                           see commit 2cf9040714f3 ("perf tools: Fix bfd
			   dependency libraries detection")
feature-libbfd-liberty   - link against -lbfd and -liberty
feature-libbfd-liberty-z - link against -lbfd, -liberty and -lz (opensuse),
                           see commit 280e7c48c3b8 ("perf tools: fix BFD
			   detection on opensuse")

(feature-liberty{,-z} were renamed to feature-libbfd-liberty{,z}
for clarity)

The main motivation is to fix this feature test for bpftool which is
currently broken on debian (libbfd feature shows OFF, but we still
unconditionally link against -lbfd and it works).

Tested on debian with only -lbfd installed (without -liberty); I'd
appreciate if somebody on the other systems can test this new detection
method.

perf tools: Add missing open_memstream() prototype for systems lacking it

2018-12-18T15:23:57+00:00

There are systems such as the Android NDK API level 24 has the
open_memstream() function but doesn't provide a prototype, adding noise
to the build:

  builtin-timechart.c: In function 'cat_backtrace':
  builtin-timechart.c:486:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'open_memstream' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    FILE *f = open_memstream(&p, &p_len);

  builtin-timechart.c:486:2: warning: nested extern declaration of 'open_memstream' [-Wnested-externs]
  builtin-timechart.c:486:12: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
    FILE *f = open_memstream(&p, &p_len);
              ^

Define a LACKS_OPEN_MEMSTREAM_PROTOTYPE define so that code needing that
can get a prototype.

perf jvmti: Separate jvmti cmlr check

2018-11-22T01:39:58+00:00

The Compiled Method Load Record (cmlr) is JDK specific interface to
access JVM stack info. This makes the jvmti agent code not compile under
another jdk, which does not support that.

Separating jvmti cmlr check into special feature check, and adding
HAVE_JVMTI_CMLR macro to indicate that.

Mark cmlr code in jvmti/libjvmti.c with HAVE_JVMTI_CMLR, so we can
compile it on system without cmlr support.

This change makes the jvmti compile with java-1.8.0-ibm package. It's
without the line numbers support, but the rest works.

Adding NO_JVMTI_CMLR compile variable for testing.

tools build feature: Check if eventfd() is available

2018-11-22T01:25:44+00:00

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 => /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.

perf tools: Fix use of alternatives to find JDIR

2018-10-16T15:06:47+00:00

When a build is run from something like a cron job, the user's $PATH is
rather minimal, of note, not including /usr/sbin in my own case. Because
of that, an automated rpm package build ultimately fails to find
libperf-jvmti.so, because somewhere within the build, this happens...

  /bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
  /bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
  Makefile.config:849: No openjdk development package found, please install
  JDK package, e.g. openjdk-8-jdk, java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

...and while the build continues, libperf-jvmti.so isn't built, and
things fall down when rpm tries to find all the %files specified. Exact
same system builds everything just fine when the job is launched from a
login shell instead of a cron job, since alternatives is in $PATH, so
openjdk is actually found.

The test required to get into this section of code actually specifies
the full path, as does a block just above it, so let's do that here too.

perf build: Fix installation directory for eBPF

2018-07-31T13:54:50+00:00

The perf tool build and install is controlled via a Makefile. The
'install' rule creates directories and copies files. Among them are
header files installed in /usr/lib/include/perf/bpf/.

However all listed examples are installing its header files in

  /usr/lib//...[/include]/header.h

and not in

  /usr/lib/include//.../header.h.

Background information:

Building the Fedora 28 glibc RPM on s390x and s390 fails on s390 (gcc
-m31) as gcc is not able to find header-files like stdbool.h.

In the glibc.spec file, you can see that glibc is configured with
"--with-headers". In this case, first -nostdinc is added to the CFLAGS
and then further include paths are added via -isystem.  One of those
paths should contain header files like stdbool.h.

In order to get this path, gcc is invoked with:

- on Fedora 28 (with 4.18 kernel):

  $ gcc -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include
  $ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib/include
  => If perf is installed, this is: /usr/lib/include
  On my machine this directory is only containing the directory "perf".
  If perf is not installed gcc returns: /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include

- on Ubuntu 18.04 (with 4.15 kernel):

  $ gcc  -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include
  $ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include
  => gcc returns the correct path even if perf is installed.

In each case, the introduction of the subdirectory /usr/lib/include
leads to the regression that one can not build the glibc RPM for s390
anymore as gcc can not find headers like stdbool.h.

To remedy this install bpf.h to /usr/lib/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h

Committer testing:

While the above 'perf test -F 40' (or 'perf test bpf') will allow us
to see that the correct path is now added via -I, to actually test this
we better try to use a bpf script that includes files in the changed
directory.

We have the files that now reside in /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/ to do
just that:

  # tail -8 /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
  #include 

  int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
