perf build: Install perf_dlfilter.h

2021-07-01T19:14:38+00:00

Users of the --dlfilter option need to include perf_dlfilter.h
in their filters. Install it to the include path.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'torvalds/master' into perf/core

2021-06-22T16:56:50+00:00

To pick up fixes, since perf/urgent is already upstream.

perf tools: Copy uapi/asm/perf_regs.h from the kernel for MIPS

2021-06-01T13:07:46+00:00

To allow the build to complete on older systems, where those files are
either not uptodate, lacking some recent additions or not present at
all.

And check if the copy drifts from the kernel.

This commit is similar with
commit 12f020338a2c ("tools: Copy uapi/asm/perf_regs.h from the kernel")

With this commit, we can avoid the following build error in any case:

tools/perf/arch/mips/include/perf_regs.h:7:10:
fatal error: asm/perf_regs.h: No such file or directory
 #include 
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

perf parse-events: Add bison --file-prefix-map option

2021-05-27T16:55:28+00:00

During a perf build with O= bison stores full paths in generated files
and those paths are stored in resulting perf binary.

Starting from bison v3.7.1 those paths can be remapped by using the
--file-prefix-map option.  Use this option if possible to make perf
binary more reproducible.

perf build: Improve error message for old/missing clang

2021-05-21T19:47:40+00:00

clang is required to build perf with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1. Improve the
error message to highlight that:

  1) clang could be either missing or too old;
  2) clang is only required with BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1.

perf tools: Fix dynamic libbpf link

2021-05-10T12:01:00+00:00

Justin reported broken build with LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1.

When linking libbpf dynamically we need to use perf's
hashmap object, because it's not exported in libbpf.so
(only in libbpf.a).

Following build is now passing:

  $ make LIBBPF_DYNAMIC=1
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    ...
  $ ldd perf | grep libbpf
        libbpf.so.0 => /lib64/libbpf.so.0 (0x00007fa7630db000)

perf build: Defer printing detected features to the end of all feature checks

2021-04-29T14:22:33+00:00

We were doing it in tools/build/Makefile.feature, after running the
feature checks, but then in tools/perf/Makefile.config we can call more
feature checks when we notice that some feature check failed, like when
libbfd wasn't detected and we add libraries to the LDFLAGS of its
feature check to try again, etc.

perf build: Regenerate the FEATURE_DUMP file after extra feature checks

2021-04-29T13:31:00+00:00

Feature detection is done in tools/build/Makefile.feature, we may exit
there with some features not detected and then, in
tools/perf/Makefile.config try adding extra libraries to link and then
do extra feature checks to see if we now find the feature.

This is the case with the disassembler-four-args that checks if the
diassembler() function in libopcodes (binutils) has a signature with
one or with four arguments, as this is not ABI and they changed it at
some point.

This is not a problem when doing normal builds, for instance:

  $ make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf

As we don't use what is in FEATURE-DUMP at that point, but is a problem
if we pass FEATURE_DUMP=/previously-detected-features as we do in
'make -C tools/perf build-test' to reuse the feature detection in the
many build combinations we test there.

When that is done feature-disassembler-four-args will be set to 0, but
opensuse 15.1 has the four arguments function signature in
disassembler(). The build thus fails.

Fix it by rewriting the FEATURE-DUMP file at the end of
tools/perf/Makefile.config to register features we retested in that make
file.

perf tools: Enable libtraceevent dynamic linking

2021-04-29T13:31:00+00:00

Currently we support only static linking with kernel's libtraceevent
(tools/lib/traceevent). This patch adds libtraceevent package detection
and support to link perf with it dynamically.

  The libtraceevent package status is displayed with:
  $ make VF=1 LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1
  ...
  ...                 libtraceevent: [ on  ]

Default behavior remains the same (static linking).

Committer testing:

  $ make LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC=1 VF=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin |& grep traceevent
  Makefile.config:1090: *** Error: No libtraceevent devel library found, please install libtraceevent-devel.  Stop.

perf tools: Generate mips syscalls_n64.c syscall table

Grab a copy of arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscall_n64.tbl and use it to
generate tools/perf/arch/mips/include/generated/asm/syscalls_n64.c file,
