perf tools: Move syscall number fallbacks from perf-sys.h to tools/arch/x86/include/asm/

2018-07-19T13:35:57+00:00

commit cec07f53c398f22576df77052c4777dc13f14962 upstream.

And remove the empty tools/arch/x86/include/asm/unistd_{32,64}.h files
introduced by eae7a755ee81 ("perf tools, x86: Build perf on older
user-space as well").

This way we get closer to mirroring the kernel for cases where __NR_
can't be found for some include path/_GNU_SOURCE/whatever scenario.

perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf

2015-10-28T15:48:12+00:00

By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.

The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.

MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.

The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.

Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.

tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

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

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                        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: regs_query_register_offset() infrastructure

2015-09-15T12:48:33+00:00

regs_query_register_offset() is a helper function which converts
register name like "%rax" to offset of a register in 'struct pt_regs',
which is required by BPF prologue generator.

PERF_HAVE_ARCH_REGS_QUERY_REGISTER_OFFSET indicates an architecture
supports converting name of a register to its offset in 'struct
pt_regs'.

HAVE_ARCH_REGS_QUERY_REGISTER_OFFSET is introduced as the corresponding
CFLAGS of PERF_HAVE_ARCH_REGS_QUERY_REGISTER_OFFSET.

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.
