perf unwind: Support for powerpc

2017-06-21T14:35:42+00:00

Porting PPC to libdw only needs an architecture-specific hook to move
the register state from perf to libdw.

The ARM and x86 architectures already use libdw, and it is useful to
have as much common code for the unwinder as possible.  Mark Wielaard
has contributed a frame-based unwinder to libdw, so that unwinding works
even for binaries that do not have CFI information.  In addition,
libunwind is always preferred to libdw by the build machinery so this
cannot introduce regressions on machines that have both libunwind and
libdw installed.

perf tools: Fix build with ARCH=x86_64

2017-06-14T18:44:29+00:00

With commit: 0a943cb10ce78 (tools build: Add HOSTARCH Makefile variable)
when building for ARCH=x86_64, ARCH=x86_64 is passed to perf instead of
ARCH=x86, so the perf build process searchs header files from
tools/arch/x86_64/include, which doesn't exist.

The following build failure is seen:

  In file included from util/event.c:2:0:
    tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.

Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the
main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.

perf tools: Disable JVMTI if no ELF support available

2017-04-13T14:47:43+00:00

The build of JVMTI depends on LIBELF (-lelf). Make Makefile.conf
check this dependendancy and notify user when not present.

v2: Comma nitpicking.

perf tools: Pass PYTHON config to feature detection

2017-04-12T13:45:21+00:00

( This is a rebased version of https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/2/7/662 )

Python's CC and link Makefile variables were not passed to feature
detection, causing feature detection to use system's Python rather than
PYTHON_CONFIG's one. This created a mismatch between the detected Python
support and the one actually used by perf when PYTHON_CONFIG is
specified.

Fix it by moving Python's variable initialization to before feature
detection and pass FLAGS_PYTHON_EMBED to Python's feature detection's
build target.

tools build: Add test for sched_getcpu()

2017-03-03T22:07:19+00:00

Instead of trying to go on adding more ifdef conditions, do a feature
test and define HAVE_SCHED_GETCPU_SUPPORT instead, then use it to
provide the prototype. No need to change the stub, as it is already a
__weak symbol.

tools perf scripting python: clang doesn't have -spec, remove it

2017-02-17T13:31:13+00:00

Gcc has a -spec option to override what options to pass to cc, etc, and
in some distros this is used, like in fedora, where we end up getting
this passed to gcc that makes clang, that doesn't have this option to
stop the build:

  CC       /tmp/build/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o
clang-4.0: error: argument unused during compilation: '-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

So filter this out when the compiler used is clang, this way we
can build the python scripting support in tools/perf/.

perf build: Check LLVM version in feature check

2016-12-06T16:21:55+00:00

Cancel builtin llvm and clang support when LLVM version is less than
3.9.0: following commits uses newer API.

Since Clang/LLVM's API is not guaranteed to be stable, add a
test-llvm-version.cpp feature checker, issue warning if LLVM found in
compiling environment is not tested yet.

Committer Notes:

Testing it:

Environment:

  $ cat /etc/fedora-release
  Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)
  $ rpm -q llvm-devel clang-devel
  llvm-devel-3.8.0-1.fc25.x86_64
  clang-devel-3.8.0-2.fc25.x86_64
  $

Before:

  $  make -k LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
  Warning: tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h differs from kernel
  Warning: tools/arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel
    INSTALL  GTK UI
    LINK     /tmp/build/perf/perf
  /tmp/build/perf/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `perf::createCompilerInvocation(llvm::SmallVector, llvm::StringRef&, clang::DiagnosticsEngine&)':
  /home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/util/c++/clang.cpp:56: undefined reference to `clang::tooling::newInvocation(clang::DiagnosticsEngine*, llvm::SmallVector const&)'
  /tmp/build/perf/libperf.a(libperf-in.o): In function `perf::getModuleFromSource(llvm::SmallVector, llvm::StringRef, llvm::IntrusiveRefCntPtr)':
  /home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/util/c++/clang.cpp:68: undefined reference to `clang::CompilerInstance::CompilerInstance(std::shared_ptr, bool)'
  /home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf/util/c++/clang.cpp:69: undefined reference to `clang::CompilerInstance::createDiagnostics(clang::DiagnosticConsumer*, bool)'
  

After:

  Makefile.config:807: No suitable libLLVM found, disabling builtin clang and llvm support. Please install llvm-dev(el) (>= 3.9.0)

Updating the environment to a locally built LLVM 4.0 + clang 3.9 (forgot
to git pull, duh) combo, all works as expected, it is properly detected
and built into the resulting perf binary.
