tools build feature: Check if get_current_dir_name() is available

2018-11-19T20:12:17+00:00

As the namespace support code will use this, which is not available in
some non _GNU_SOURCE libraries such as Android's bionic used in my
container build tests (r12b and r15c at the moment).

perf tools: Fix use of alternatives to find JDIR

2018-10-16T15:06:47+00:00

When a build is run from something like a cron job, the user's $PATH is
rather minimal, of note, not including /usr/sbin in my own case. Because
of that, an automated rpm package build ultimately fails to find
libperf-jvmti.so, because somewhere within the build, this happens...

  /bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
  /bin/sh: alternatives: command not found
  Makefile.config:849: No openjdk development package found, please install
  JDK package, e.g. openjdk-8-jdk, java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

...and while the build continues, libperf-jvmti.so isn't built, and
things fall down when rpm tries to find all the %files specified. Exact
same system builds everything just fine when the job is launched from a
login shell instead of a cron job, since alternatives is in $PATH, so
openjdk is actually found.

The test required to get into this section of code actually specifies
the full path, as does a block just above it, so let's do that here too.

perf build: Fix installation directory for eBPF

2018-07-31T13:54:50+00:00

The perf tool build and install is controlled via a Makefile. The
'install' rule creates directories and copies files. Among them are
header files installed in /usr/lib/include/perf/bpf/.

However all listed examples are installing its header files in

  /usr/lib//...[/include]/header.h

and not in

  /usr/lib/include//.../header.h.

Background information:

Building the Fedora 28 glibc RPM on s390x and s390 fails on s390 (gcc
-m31) as gcc is not able to find header-files like stdbool.h.

In the glibc.spec file, you can see that glibc is configured with
"--with-headers". In this case, first -nostdinc is added to the CFLAGS
and then further include paths are added via -isystem.  One of those
paths should contain header files like stdbool.h.

In order to get this path, gcc is invoked with:

- on Fedora 28 (with 4.18 kernel):

  $ gcc -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include
  $ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/../../../../lib/include
  => If perf is installed, this is: /usr/lib/include
  On my machine this directory is only containing the directory "perf".
  If perf is not installed gcc returns: /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-redhat-linux/8/include

- on Ubuntu 18.04 (with 4.15 kernel):

  $ gcc  -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include
  $ gcc -m31 -print-file-name=include
  /usr/lib/gcc/s390x-linux-gnu/7/include
  => gcc returns the correct path even if perf is installed.

In each case, the introduction of the subdirectory /usr/lib/include
leads to the regression that one can not build the glibc RPM for s390
anymore as gcc can not find headers like stdbool.h.

To remedy this install bpf.h to /usr/lib/perf/include/bpf/bpf.h

Committer testing:

While the above 'perf test -F 40' (or 'perf test bpf') will allow us
to see that the correct path is now added via -I, to actually test this
we better try to use a bpf script that includes files in the changed
directory.

We have the files that now reside in /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/ to do
just that:

  # tail -8 /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c
  #include 

  int probe(hrtimer_nanosleep, rqtp->tv_sec)(void *ctx, int err, long sec)
  {
	  return sec == 5;
  }

  license(GPL);
  # perf trace -e *sleep -e /root/lib/perf/examples/bpf/5sec.c sleep 4

perf trace arm64: Use generated syscall table

2018-07-24T17:53:01+00:00

This should speed up accessing new system calls introduced with the
kernel rather than waiting for libaudit updates to include them.

It also enables users to specify wildcards, for example, perf trace -e
'open*', just like was already possible on x86, s390, and powerpc, which
means arm64 can now pass the "Check open filename arg using perf trace +
vfs_getname" test.

perf tools: Use python-config --includes rather than --cflags

2018-07-11T13:48:31+00:00

Builds started failing in Fedora on Python 3.7 with:

    `.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' referenced in section
    `.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' of
    util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o: defined in discarded
    section

In Fedora, Python 3.7 added -flto to the list of --cflags and since it
was only applied to util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c and
scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c, linking failed.

It's not the first time the addition of flags has broken builds: commit
c6707fdef7e2 ("perf tools: Fix up build in hardnened environments")
appears to have fixed a similar problem. "python-config --includes"
provides the proper -I flags and doesn't introduce additional CFLAGS.

perf bpf: Add 'examples' directories

2018-05-15T17:31:23+00:00

The first one is the bare minimum that bpf infrastructure accepts before
it expects actual events to be set up:

  $ cat tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  $

If you remove that "version" line, then it will be refused with:

  # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
  event syntax error: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c'
                       \___ Failed to load tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost

  (add -v to see detail)
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [] []
      or: perf trace [] --  []
      or: perf trace record [] []
      or: perf trace record [] --  []

      -e, --event    event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  #

The next ones will, step by step, show simple filters, then the needs
for headers will be made clear, it will be put in place and tested with
new examples, rinse, repeat.

Back to using this first one to test the perf+bpf infrastructure:

If we run it will fail, as no functions are present connecting with,
say, a tracepoint or a function using the kprobes or uprobes
infrastructure:

  # perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c
  WARNING: event parser found nothing
  invalid or unsupported event: 'tools/perf/examples/bpf/empty.c'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf trace [] []
      or: perf trace [] --  []
      or: perf trace record [] []
      or: perf trace record [] --  []

      -e, --event    event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  #

But, if we set things up to dump the generated object file to a file,
and do this after having run 'make install', still on the developer's
$HOME directory:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]

	dump-obj = true
  #
  # perf trace -e ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c
  LLVM: dumping /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o
  WARNING: event parser found nothing
  invalid or unsupported event: '/home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.c'
  
  #

We can look at the dumped object file:

  # ls -la ~acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o
  -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 576 May  4 12:10 /home/acme/lib/examples/perf/bpf/empty.o
