tools build: Add feature detection for g++

2016-10-05T22:59:35+00:00

Check if g++ is available. The result will be used by builtin clang and
LLVM support. Since LLVM requires C++11, this feature detector checks
std::move().

perf build: Add sdt feature detection

2016-07-14T02:09:09+00:00

This checks whether sys/sdt.h is available or not, which is required for
DTRACE_PROBE().

We can disable this feature by passing NO_SDT=1 when building.

This flag will be used for SDT test case and further SDT events in
perftools.

perf tools: Add feature detection for gelf_getnote()

2016-07-12T18:20:41+00:00

That is not present on some libelf implementations, such as the one used
in Alpine Linux: libelf-0.8.13.

This ends up disabling the SDT code, that relies on this function.

One alternative would be to provide an weak fallback implementation or
the open coded variant used by the buildid sysfs notes reading code.

perf build: Add feature detection for libelf's elf_getshdrstrndx()

2016-07-04T22:38:59+00:00

That appeared after 0.140, and will be used in the SDT code, so, to
avoid bisection break on older systems, add a feature detection and
provide a stub with a pr_debug() to keep it building.

perf build: Add build-test for debug-frame on arm/arm64

2016-05-11T15:24:58+00:00

Debug-frame for remote platforms is not related to the host platform, so
we should test each platform separately.

perf build: Add build-test for libunwind cross-platforms support

2016-05-11T15:24:58+00:00

Currently only test for local libunwind. We should check all supported
platforms so we can use them to parse perf.data with callchain info on
different machines.

perf probe: Check if dwarf_getlocations() is available

2016-04-06T13:44:28+00:00

If not, tell the user that:

  config/Makefile:273: Old libdw.h, finding variables at given 'perf probe' point will not work, install elfutils-devel/libdw-dev >= 0.157

And return -ENOTSUPP in die_get_var_range(), failing features that
need it, like the one pointed out above.

This fixes the build on older systems, such as Ubuntu 12.04.5.

tools build: Fix feature Makefile issues with 'O='

2015-12-16T18:31:33+00:00

When building perf binaries outside the source tree with 'make O=',
the auto-detected features get re-tested for every build, which is
unnecessary and inconsistent with the behavior seen when building
directly in the source tree.

Another issue is that 'make O= clean' doesn't remove the feature
files from the object tree.

Fix these problems by looking for the binaries in the $(OUTPUT)
directory.

tools build: Fix libiberty feature detection

2015-10-29T20:46:35+00:00

Any CFLAGS or LDFLAGS set by the user need to be passed to the feature
build command.  This many include for example -I or -L to point to
libraries and include files in custom paths.

In most of the test-*.bin rules in build/feature/Makefile, we use the BUILD
macro which always sends in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  The libiberty build line
however doesn't use the BUILD macro and thus needs to send in CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS explicitly.  Without this, when using custom CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, libiberty
fails to be detected and the perf link fails with something like:

   LINK     perf
  libbfd.a(bfd.o): In function `bfd_errmsg':
  bfd.c:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to `xstrerror'
  bbfd.a(opncls.o): In function `_bfd_new_bfd':
  opncls.c:(.text+0xe8): undefined reference to `objalloc_create'
  ...
