perf tools: Add 'build-test' make target

2014-01-16T19:26:26+00:00

Currently various build test can be performed using a Makefile named
tests/make, so one needs to remember and specify it with -f option on
command line.

Add the 'build-test' target in the main Makefile as a shortcut.

perf tools: Fix tags/TAGS targets rebuilding

2013-11-27T19:47:14+00:00

Once the tags/TAGS file is generated it's never rebuilt until it's
removed by hand.

The reason is that the Makefile does not treat tags/TAGS as targets but
as files and thus won't rebuilt them once they are in place.

Adding PHONY tags/TAGS targets into Makefile.

tools/perf/build: Pass through DEBUG parameter

2013-10-14T13:29:07+00:00

Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore.

The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to
'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf'
checks that it's a command line option:

    ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line")
      PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG)
    endif

So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter
handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances:

 - DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it
   into 'debugging off' instead.

 - Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off
   as well.

 - Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of
   the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.

tools/perf/build: Fix non-existent build directory handling

2013-10-14T13:29:05+00:00

Arnaldo reported that non-existent build directories were not
recognized  properly. The reason is readlink failure causing 'O'
to become empty.

Solve it by passing through the 'O' variable unmodified if
readlink fails.

tools: Harmonize the various build messages in perf, lib-traceevent, lib-lk

2013-10-11T15:18:08+00:00

The various build lines from libtraceevent and perf mix up during a
parallel build and produce unaligned output like:

    CC builtin-buildid-list.o
    CC builtin-buildid-cache.o
    CC builtin-list.o
  CC FPIC            trace-seq.o
    CC builtin-record.o
  CC FPIC            parse-filter.o
    CC builtin-report.o
    CC builtin-stat.o
  CC FPIC            parse-utils.o
  CC FPIC            kbuffer-parse.o
    CC builtin-timechart.o
    CC builtin-top.o
    CC builtin-script.o
  BUILD STATIC LIB   libtraceevent.a
    CC builtin-probe.o
    CC builtin-kmem.o
    CC builtin-lock.o

To solve this, harmonize all the build message alignments to be similar
to the kernel's kbuild output: prefixed by two spaces and 11-char wide.

After the patch the output looks pretty tidy, even if output lines get
mixed up:

  CC      builtin-annotate.o
  FLAGS:  * new build flags or cross compiler
  CC      builtin-bench.o
  AR      liblk.a
  CC      bench/sched-messaging.o
  CC FPIC event-parse.o
  CC      bench/sched-pipe.o
  CC FPIC trace-seq.o
  CC      bench/mem-memcpy.o
  CC      bench/mem-memset.o
  CC FPIC parse-filter.o
  CC      builtin-diff.o
  CC      builtin-evlist.o
  CC      builtin-help.o

tools/perf/build: Fix non-canonical directory names in O=

2013-10-09T06:49:01+00:00

This was a long-standing bug, relative pathnames like O=dir did not fully
work in the build system:

    $ make O=localdir clean

    SUBDIR Documentation
    ../../scripts/Makefile.include:3: *** O=localdir does not exist.  Stop.
    make[1]: *** [clean] Error 2
    make: *** [clean] Error 2

Fix this by canonizing the directory before passing it to Makefile.perf.

tools/perf/build: Exclude MAKEFLAGS from nested invocation

2013-10-09T06:49:01+00:00

In case the user specifies MAKEFLAGS as an environment variable,
or uses 'make -jN' explicitly, the options can conflict and result in:

    BUILD: Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
    GEN common-cmds.h
    make[1]: *** write jobserver: Bad file descriptor.  Stop.

Make sure we invoke the main makefile in a pristine state.

Users who want to do something non-standard can use the:

  make -f Makefile.perf

method to invoke the makefile.

tools/perf/build: Pass through all targets to Makefile.perf

2013-10-09T06:48:59+00:00

Jiri reported that 'make .o' stopped working:

  > [jolsa@krava perf]$ make -f Makefile perf.o
  > cc    -c -o perf.o perf.c
  > In file included from builtin.h:4:0,
  >                  from perf.c:9:
  > util/util.h:74:24: fatal error: lk/debugfs.h: No such file or directory
  > compilation terminated.
  > make: *** [perf.o] Error 1

This is due to GNU make having built-in rules for popular targets such
as *.o. Clear them out so that all targets as passed through to Makefile.perf.

tools/perf/build: Flip Makefile.parallel and Makefile.perf

2013-10-09T06:48:55+00:00

To make it more apparent that there is not change in functionality we introduced
Makefile.parallel separately and now flip it with the main Makefile, which
moves into Makefile.perf.

The renames are:

   Makefile.parallel => Makefile
   Makefile          => Makefile.perf
