commit c25ce589dca10d64dde139ae093abc258a32869c upstream.

Change every shebang which does not need an argument to use /usr/bin/env.
This is needed as not every distro has everything under /usr/bin,
sometimes not even bash.

[ Upstream commit 05a2f54679861deb188750ba2a70187000b2c71f ]

When building in ClearLinux using 'make PYTHON=python3' with gcc 8.2.1
it fails with:

    GEN      /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so
  In file included from /usr/include/python3.7m/Python.h:126,
                   from /git/linux/tools/perf/util/python.c:2:
  /usr/include/python3.7m/import.h:58:24: error: redundant redeclaration of ‘_PyImport_AddModuleObject’ [-Werror=redundant-decls]
   PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) _PyImport_AddModuleObject(PyObject *, PyObject *);
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  /usr/include/python3.7m/import.h:47:24: note: previous declaration of ‘_PyImport_AddModuleObject’ was here
   PyAPI_FUNC(PyObject *) _PyImport_AddModuleObject(PyObject *name,
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
  error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

And indeed there is a redundant declaration in that Python.h file, one
with parameter names and the other without, so just add
-Wno-error=redundant-decls to the python setup instructions.

Now perf builds with gcc in ClearLinux with the following Dockerfile:

  # docker.io/acmel/linux-perf-tools-build-clearlinux:latest
  FROM docker.io/clearlinux:latest
  MAINTAINER Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo &lt;acme@kernel.org&gt;
  RUN swupd update &amp;&amp; \
      swupd bundle-add sysadmin-basic-dev
  RUN mkdir -m 777 -p /git /tmp/build/perf /tmp/build/objtool /tmp/build/linux &amp;&amp; \
      groupadd -r perfbuilder &amp;&amp; \
      useradd -m -r -g perfbuilder perfbuilder &amp;&amp; \

  USER perfbuilder
  COPY rx_and_build.sh /
  ENV EXTRA_MAKE_ARGS=PYTHON=python3
  ENTRYPOINT ["/rx_and_build.sh"]

Now to figure out why the build fails with clang, that is present in the
above container as detected by the rx_and_build.sh script:

<title>perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8</title>

commit b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c upstream.

The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):

  python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible  function types from              \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’                       \
  uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to     \
  ‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
  _object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
     .ml_meth  = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,

The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.

That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.

Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.

Commiter notes:

Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:

  fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
  #

those have:

  clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)

The one in rawhide accepts that:

  clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)

<title>perf python: Filter out -specs=/a/b/c from the python binding cc options</title>

<id>4be92cf018c391c4ecc5fd091fae8c152de3692f</id>
<content type='text'>
The -spec=/path/to/file can be used to change what gcc puts in the cc,
ld, etc command lines, but this is not present in clang, filter it out
at the setup.py file by changing python2's internal variable where it
keeps its initial CFLAGS value.

With this all of perf can be built in at least Fedora 25, fixing this
problem:

    GEN      /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so
    CC       /tmp/build/perf/builtin-buildid-list.o
  clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  error: command 'clang' failed with exit status 1

Now I need to change all the containers where I have clang to build
perf with it, so that we can check that in other distros (opensuse, debian,
ubuntu, etc) this also works.

The util/python-ext-sources file contains source files required to build
the python extension relative to $(srctree)/tools/perf,

Such a file path $(FILE).c is handed over to the python extension build
system, which builds the final object in the
$(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/$(FILE).o path.

After the build is done all files from $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)lib/ are
carried as the result binaries.

Above system fails when we add source file relative to ../lib, which we
do for:

  ../lib/bitmap.c
  ../lib/find_bit.c
  ../lib/hweight.c
  ../lib/rbtree.c

All above objects will be built like:

  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/bitmap.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/find_bit.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/hweight.c
  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/tmp/../lib/rbtree.c

which accidentally happens to be final library path:

  $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)/lib/

Changing setup.py to pass full paths of source files to Extension build
class and thus keep all built objects under $(PYTHON_EXTBUILD)tmp
directory.

Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.

For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.

acme:

"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.

But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

Fixup documentation cleaning target while at it.

This introduces the tools/lib/lk library, that will gradually have the
routines that now are used in tools/perf/ and other tools and that can
be shared.

Start by carving out debugfs routines for general use.
