tools: Factor HOSTCC, HOSTLD, HOSTAR definitions

2020-11-11T20:18:22+00:00

Several Makefiles in tools/ need to define the host toolchain variables.
Move their definition to tools/scripts/Makefile.include

perf trace beauty: Add script to autogenerate mremap's flags args string/id table

2020-09-29T21:07:27+00:00

It'll also conditionally generate the defines, so that if we don't have
those when building a new tool tarball in an older systems, we get
those, and we need them sometimes in the actual scnprintf routine, such
as when checking if a flags means we have an extra arg, like with
MREMAP_FIXED.

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/mremap_flags.sh
  static const char *mremap_flags[] = {
  	[ilog2(1) + 1] = "MAYMOVE",
  #ifndef MREMAP_MAYMOVE
  #define MREMAP_MAYMOVE 1
  #endif
  	[ilog2(2) + 1] = "FIXED",
  #ifndef MREMAP_FIXED
  #define MREMAP_FIXED 2
  #endif
  	[ilog2(4) + 1] = "DONTUNMAP",
  #ifndef MREMAP_DONTUNMAP
  #define MREMAP_DONTUNMAP 4
  #endif
  };

perf tools: Make GTK2 support opt-in

2020-09-04T20:11:59+00:00

This is bitrotting, nobody is stepping up to work on it, and since we
treat warnings as errors, feature detection is failing in its main,
faster test (tools/build/feature/test-all.c) because of the GTK+2
infobar check.

So make this opt-in, at some point ditch this if nobody volunteers to
take care of this.

perf tests: Add test for PE binary format support

2020-09-04T17:38:15+00:00

This adds a precompiled file in PE binary format, with split debug file,
and tries to read its build_id and .gnu_debuglink sections, as well as
looking up the main symbol from the debug file. This should succeed if
libbfd is supported.

Committer testing:

  $ perf test "PE file support"
  68: PE file support           : Ok

perf build-ids: Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found

2020-08-14T12:51:14+00:00

During a perf-record, use the -ldebuginfod API to query a debuginfod
server, should the debug data not be found in the usual system
locations.  If successful, the usual $HOME/.debug dir is populated.

Tested with:

  $ find .
  .
  ./ctags-debuginfo-5.8-26.fc31.x86_64.rpm
  ./usr
  ./usr/lib

Note the 'debug' file is created in the last run.

Note that currently the debuginfo data are downloaded only on record path,
we still need add this support to perf build-id/report.. and test ;-)

perf trace beauty: Use the autogenerated protocol family table

2020-08-12T11:43:51+00:00

That helps us not to lose new protocol families when they are
introduced, replacing that hardcoded, dated family->string table.

To recap what this allows us to do:

  # perf trace -e syscalls:sys_enter_socket/max-stack=10/ --filter=family==INET --max-events=1
     0.000 fetchmail/41097 syscalls:sys_enter_socket(family: INET, type: DGRAM|CLOEXEC|NONBLOCK, protocol: IP)
                                       __GI___socket (inlined)
                                       reopen (/usr/lib64/libresolv-2.31.so)
                                       send_dg (/usr/lib64/libresolv-2.31.so)
                                       __res_context_send (/usr/lib64/libresolv-2.31.so)
                                       __GI___res_context_query (inlined)
                                       __GI___res_context_search (inlined)
                                       _nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r (/usr/lib64/libnss_dns-2.31.so)
                                       gaih_inet.constprop.0 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.31.so)
                                       __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined)
                                       [0x15cb2] (/usr/bin/fetchmail)
  #

More work is still needed to allow for the more natura strace-like
syscall name usage instead of the trace event name:

  # perf trace -e socket/max-stack=10,family==INET/ --max-events=1

I.e. to allow for modifiers to follow the syscall name and for logical
expressions to be accepted as filters to use with that syscall, be it as
trace event filters or BPF based ones.

Using -v we can see how the trace event filter is built:

  # perf trace -v -e syscalls:sys_enter_socket/call-graph=dwarf/ --filter=family==INET --max-events=2
  
  New filter for syscalls:sys_enter_socket: (family==0x2) && (common_pid != 41384 && common_pid != 2836)
  

  $ tools/perf/trace/beauty/socket.sh | grep -w 2
	[2] = "INET",

perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4

2020-05-29T19:51:38+00:00

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and
LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware
event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper
library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event
encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is
open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net.

With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name.
Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the
--pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time
and it is possible to mix and match:

  $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles ....

One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make
command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature
detection and build support.

perf build: Allow explicitely disabling the NO_SYSCALL_TABLE variable

is used in architectures that don't have the SYSCALL_TABLE logic and we
want to have it tested in 'make -C tools/perf/ build-test'.

E.g.:

Without having audit-libs-devel installed:

  $ make NO_SYSCALL_TABLE=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
  make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j12' parallel build

  ...                        libcap: [ on  ]
  
  Makefile.config:664: No libaudit.h found, disables 'trace' tool, please install audit-libs-devel or libaudit-dev

Even with fully built tree, we still display extra output when make is

    DESCEND  plugins

Changing the make descend directly to plugins directory, which quiets
