tools build: Allow duplicate objects in the object list

2015-08-26T13:34:58+00:00

It's sometimes useful to specify the object affiliation to multiple
config options like:

  libperf-$(CONFIG_X86) += tsc.o
  libperf-$(CONFIG_AUXTRACE) += tsc.o

while the object itself is linked only once. Adding the support for this
and ignoring duplicate objects in the object list.

perf tools: Add Intel PT instruction decoder

2015-08-17T14:11:36+00:00

Add support for decoding instructions for Intel Processor Trace.  The
kernel x86 instruction decoder is copied for this.

This essentially provides intel_pt_get_insn() which takes a binary
buffer, uses the kernel's x86 instruction decoder to get details of the
instruction and then categorizes it for consumption by an Intel PT
decoder.

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.

bpf tools: Introduce 'bpf' library and add bpf feature check

2015-08-07T13:16:56+00:00

This is the first patch of libbpf. The goal of libbpf is to create a
standard way for accessing eBPF object files. This patch creates
'Makefile' and 'Build' for it, allows 'make' to build libbpf.a and
libbpf.so, 'make install' to put them into proper directories.
Most part of Makefile is borrowed from traceevent.

Before building, it checks the existence of libelf in Makefile, and deny
to build if not found. Instead of throwing an error if libelf not found,
the error raises in a phony target "elfdep". This design is to ensure
'make clean' still workable even if libelf is not found.

Because libbpf requires 'kern_version' field set for 'union bpf_attr'
(bpfdep" is used for that dependency), Kernel BPF API is also checked
by intruducing a new feature check 'bpf' into tools/build/feature,
which checks the existence and version of linux/bpf.h. When building
libbpf, it searches that file from include/uapi/linux in kernel source
tree (controlled by FEATURE_CHECK_CFLAGS-bpf). Since it searches kernel
source tree it reside, installing of newest kernel headers is not
required, except we are trying to port these files to an old kernel.

To avoid checking that file when perf building, the newly introduced
'bpf' feature check doesn't added into FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY by default in tools/build/Makefile.feature, but added
into libbpf's specific.

Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull perf fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "These are the left over fixes from the v4.1 cycle"

* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  perf tools: Fix build breakage if prefix= is specified
  perf/x86: Honor the architectural performance monitoring version
  perf/x86/intel: Fix PMI handling for Intel PT
  perf/x86/intel/bts: Fix DS area sharing with x86_pmu events
  perf/x86: Add more Broadwell model numbers
  perf: Fix ring_buffer_attach() RCU sync, again

perf tools: Fix build breakage if prefix= is specified

2015-06-19T19:39:42+00:00

Invoking Makefile.perf with prefix= breaks the build since Makefile.perf
hands that variable down to Makefile.build where it overrides

    prefix       := $(subst ./,,$(OUTPUT)$(dir)/)

leading to errors like this:

    No rule to make target '/usrabspath.o', needed by '/usrlibperf-in.o'

perf build: Do not fail on missing Build file

2015-05-29T15:44:25+00:00

Allow nesting into directories without Build file. Currently we force
include of the Build file, which fails the build when the Build file is
missing.

We already support empty *-in.o' objects if there's nothing in the
directory to be compiled, so we can just use it for missing Build file
cases.

Also adding this case under tests.
