tools build: Add test for presence of __get_cpuid() gcc builtin

2015-09-17T16:14:35+00:00

The auxtrace code needed by Intel PT uses the __get_cpuid() gcc builtin,
that is not present in old systems, breaking the build.

Add a test to check for that builtin and disable AUXTRACE in those
systems.

  [acme@rhel5 linux]$  make NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j2' parallel build

  Auto-detecting system features:
  
  ...                          lzma: [ on  ]
  ...                     get_cpuid: [ OFF ]
  
  config/Makefile:630: Your gcc lacks the __get_cpuid() builtin, disables support for auxtrace/Intel PT, please install a newer gcc
    MKDIR    /tmp/build/perf/util/
  

This fixes the build on old systems such as RHEL/CentOS 5.11.

tools build: Add test for presence of numa_num_possible_cpus() in libnuma

2015-09-17T16:14:35+00:00

The existing numa test checks only if numa.h and numa_available() are
present, but that can be satisfied with an old libnuma that is not
enough for the 'perf bench numa' entry, so add a test to check for that:

  [acme@rhel5 linux]$  make NO_AUXTRACE=1 NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j2' parallel build

  ...                        libelf: [ on  ]
  ...                       libnuma: [ on  ]
  ...        numa_num_possible_cpus: [ OFF ]
  ...                       libperl: [ on  ]

  
  config/Makefile:577: Old numa library found, disables 'perf bench numa mem' benchmark, please install numactl-devel/libnuma-devel/libnuma-dev >= 2.0.8
    INSTALL  binaries
  

This fixes the build on old systems such as RHEL/CentOS 5.11.

perf tools: Support static linking with libdw

2015-08-13T17:49:11+00:00

The Fedora 22 version of libdw requires a couple of extra libraries to
link. With a dynamic link the dependencies are pulled in automatically,
but this doesn't work for static linking. Add the needed libraries
explicitely to the feature probe and the Makefile.

v2: Explicitly check for static linking and only add the dependencies
    when -static is set. This is to avoid regressions on Arnaldo's system.

perf tools: Fix test build error when bindir contains double slash

2015-07-28T16:03:49+00:00

When building with a prefix ending with a slash, for example:

	$ make prefix=/usr/local/

one of the perf tests fail to compile due to BUILD_STR macro mishandling
bindir_SQ string containing with two slashes:

	-DBINDIR="BUILD_STR(/usr/local//bin)"

with the following error:

	  CC       tests/attr.o
	tests/attr.c: In function ‘test__attr’:
	tests/attr.c:168:50: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token
	  snprintf(path_perf, PATH_MAX, "%s/perf", BINDIR);
                                                  ^
	tests/attr.c:176:1: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘}’ token
	 }
	 ^
	tests/attr.c:176:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
	 }
	 ^
	cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This patch works around the problem by "cleaning" the bindir string
using make's abspath function.

perf trace: Support 'strace' syscall event groups

2015-07-20T18:16:32+00:00

I.e.:

  $ cat ~/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file
  access
  chmod
  creat
  execve
  faccessat
  getcwd
  lstat
  mkdir
  open
  openat
  quotactl
  readlink
  rename
  rmdir
  stat
  statfs
  symlink
  unlink
  $

Then, on a quiet desktop, try running this and then moving your mouse to
see the deluge of mouse related activity:

  # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
  #
  # trace --ev probe:vfs_getname --filter-pids 2232 -e file
   0.042 (0.042 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.042 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm")
   0.100 (0.100 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

   0.230 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm")
   0.253 (0.041 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = 14
   0.459 (0.008 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438                                   ) ...
   0.459 (        ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_side")
   0.468 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235  ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...

Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)

Fix by adding -llzma and re-ordering to match the dependencies.
